Selecting title, researching critical studies links & pursuing initial observations.

Focus on AO3 & AO1-, developing critical studies links & initial observations .

Strengthenin g observations at AO3 & exploring media options, choices and effects.

Students will have explored media in greater depth and have experimented with materials and ideas. Work will have been focused on process over product, they will have tried out lots of new media and processes which would not necessarily result in finished pieces. Basic skills should have been revisited. It would be up to the student to have decided which media they used and how they decided to work with the themes set. Students would have been open minded about the possibilities open to them and for them to have explored new areas of subject matter and media.
