This document provides guidance for art students on creating brainstorms and mood boards for a controlled assignment. It includes 14 potential questions that could be used, such as exploring how homes reflect personality, conveying a sense of atmosphere, or celebrating the status of workers. For each question, relevant artists and artworks are referenced that could serve as influences or inspiration for visual concepts. Students are instructed to create 3 brainstorms and 3 mood boards, with the mood boards including detailed collages of images to realize their intentions for each of their strongest concepts.

3. Create 3 Brainstorms
To record our generation of ideas we need to create
brainstorms for 3 Stimuli. If a brainstorm is created
correctly it should generate ideas rather than just record
previous ones.
1.Concept ideas - Write down any key themes, issues
and ideas that spring to mind. (the more and wider the
better)
2.Consider and record what genre those ideas would be
shot in.
3) What is your access to your idea(s)? Who? locations?
How?
4) Consider what other subjects do you do at
college, can the topics you have learnt about be used as
inspiration as a photograph project?

4. Create 3 Brainstorms

5. Create 3 Moodboards
Choose your three strongest concepts and create a mood board for each
of them
A Mood Board should be a detailed collage of key images that help you
realise your intentions. All images should link conceptually or visually. A
clear theme should be present for the examiner to pick up on.
The images should link to your idea visually or conceptually.
The images you choose should give you inspiration and ideas.
The images don’t have to be Photographs.
If they are, ensure you record Photographers name and body of work
titles.
