2. Media Experiments ‘AO2’
Your next task is to experiment with a range of materials. This is
important as it shows that you have explored different ideas for
your final outcome.
You must experiment
with at LEAST…
- 5 for GCSE
- 8 for A Level
Don’t forget to
annotate your work!
Explaining what
materials you have
used, what you like
and don’t like about
it, and how it relates
to your project
Materials you could use…
-Pencil
-Biro
-Fineliner
-Ink
-Conte and Charcoal
-Paint
-Brusho
-Coffee
-Collage and mixed media
-Mono printing
-Etching
-Lino Printing
-Photography
-Photoshop
-Phone App editing
-Darkroom work
-Cyanotypes
-Sewing
-Pyrography
-Image transferring
-Clay
-Wire
You can also experiment by trying out different colour schemes and exploring different drawing techniques
such as continuous line drawing
Use your own Photographs to work
from and add Artist links to get marks
for A01 + A03 as well
different materials
(this does include the
materials you have
used for your
observational work
and your photography)
3. On the next few slides
are ideas to help you
decide what media you
want to experiment
with…
When you create these
boards title them….
‘Media Experiments’
or the name of the
media eg: ‘Etching’
21. Cyanotype is a
photographic printing
process that produces a
cyan-blue print. Engineers
used the process well into the
20th century as a simple and
low-cost process to produce
copies of drawings, referred
to as blueprints. The process
uses two chemicals:
ammonium iron(III) citrate
and potassium ferricyanide.
