A 25 slide exploration of the need to develop ideas through careful, considered and informed decision making. The slideshow starts with a series of slides that encourage students to think about how to work from an initial starting point to a final outcome.

The slideshow also includes a full explanation of each AO in student friendly language. This has been written by an experienced Head of department and Senior A level Art moderator. We hope that you find it of use when discussing component development with your students.
