Assessment Objective 3
Develop & Explore | Practical Work
AO3 REQUIREMENTS
- DEVELOP
~ develop ideas
~ show in different ways
- EXPLORE
~ different materials
~ different artistic styles
~ how the subjects we are studying are seen by other artists or in different cultures
- MODIFY
~ how to improve your work
~ is it possible to make your work more interesting
- REFINE
~ a good way to prepare for your final piece (AO4) is to create a mini-version, then add your refined ideas before starting on your final piece
Develop & Explore | Find your theme -- get inspired!
GETTING IDEAS TO FLOW
- spidergram
- mindmap
- flow chart
don't stop until there's absolutely nothing left to write, however strange the connections
don't worry that your ideas might seem silly
these can count as your preparation work, so hold on to them or keep them in your work journal
OTHER ARTISTS CAN HELP YOU
it is advisable to do your research in musuems and artists
Develop & Explore | Experimenting
TOP TIPS
experimentation is for you to see what works best with your ideas
have your work journal around you every time you work
- write up your results, good and bad
- consider suprising results and whether they can be adapted
- explain what you've learned by describing what you did
- is the topic too narrow? is it possible to expand it?
- make notes and sketches of anything that's important
- do rough sketches and play with ideas
- use them in your choice of media
- visualise the final piece -- drawing: consider colour, texture, scale, materials and techniques
- write everything down, or show sketches
Develop & Explore | More experiments -- breaking the rules
BREAKING THE RULES
once you've gotten the hang of using different medias:
- try using materials in unusual ways
- combine different papers and cards with pencils, inks, chalks or paints
- different effects: sponges, straws or different types of brushes

COMPARE AND CONTRAST
think about their similarities and differences:
- what is the painting about? what is each artist trying to convey?
- how does the subject matter differ between the paintings?
- how has each artist used their choice of media to convey their feelings about their subject matter?
- how has the the time and/or venue influenced each artist?
consider their qualities:
- composition
- colour
- how the medium has been applied
- its surface
ask yourself:
- how have materials been used?
- how did the artists apply their choice of media?
- does the way the artists use their choice of media affect the mood, atmosphere or the way it looks?
- does the size of the paintings affect their audience?
- what devices do the artists use to show their response to and feelings about their subject matter?
PAINTING
- oil paint
~ experiment with thick and thin areas to create textures
~ shiny or matt surface?
~ add turpentine to the mix for transparency
experiment with the surface you are painting on
- create a collage
- slash the canvas
- tear the paper and rejoin it in a different way
surfaces can be changed in different ways
- scratched
- roughned
- made uneven
- smoothed
to create waves of paint
- use a palette knife
- draw into the paint with the end of your paintbrush
-add things onto or into the paint to create a variety of interesting textures
~ rice
~ sand
~ salt
- research for ideas
~ works of other painters
~ medium
DRAWING
- involves making marks
- use lots of different materials to show your understanding of visual and tactile elements
~ biro
~ fine line felt-tip pens
~ pencils
~ charcoal
~ chalk
~ pastels
- explore surfaces
~ thicknesses
~ types
~ textures
- wet and dry media
~ watercolours
~ mark-making materials
a. pencils
b. pastels
c. inks
d. pens
e. charcoals
~ fine aquarelle pencils
a. subtle colour blending
b. delicate colour wash (brush over with water)
COLLAGE
experiment with materials
- paper
- strings
- plastics
- bits of wood
- plaster
- tissues
- almost everything else
PRINT
- overlap materials to create collaged surfaces, then print on top of them
- use polyblock, lino, a collotype or even potatoes -- apply printing inks and create ink patterns
- roll up a printing area with lino printing inks, draw into it and make monoprints
- cut some stencils and make screenprints
- stain papers with tea or coffee and print on top of it, use crayons or pastels to make interesting marks and colours
- drawing inks are available in many colours -- gives more vibrance
- scratch into crayons or pastels for layered effects
- use candle wax to resist inks
