This document provides ideas and instructions for media experiments. It lists various materials that could be used, such as pencil, paint, photography, and sewing. It then shows examples of techniques like tonal pencil drawings, photoshop filters, darkroom photography, cyanotypes, etching, monoprinting, and image transfers. Students are instructed to create at least two large experiment boards over two weeks using different media, ideally including the medium that will be used for their final project outcome. They should use their own photographs and link their work to artists for additional credit.

2. Media Experiments ‘AO2’
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
Ideas of materials you could use…
-Pencil
-Biro
-Fineliner
-Ink
-Conte and Charcoal
-Paint (watercolour, acrylic, oil)
-Brusho
-Bleach
-Wax
-Coffee
-Collage and mixed media

-Clay
-Wire
-Plaster + modrock
Use your own Photographs to work
from and add Artist links to get marks
for A01 + A03 as well

3. On the next few slides
are a few ideas to help
you decide what media
you might want to
experiment with…

19. Darkroom
Photography

20. Photograms

21. Acetate darkroom

22. Lumen Prints

23. 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.

28. Dry Point Etching

30. Monoprinting

31. Lino Printing

33. Acetate Transfer

34. Acetate Transfer and Sewing

35. Acetate Transfer and Sewing

37. Pyrography

38. Image Transfer onto wood

43. Over the next two weeks you are
going to produce at least two A2
Experiment boards showing two
different medias (one of these
experiments will ideally be what you
use for your final outcome so think
carefully about what media you
choose). This will pick up marks for
‘A02’. You should use your
photographs to work from (picking up
marks for ‘A03’). If you link your
experiments to Artists you can also
pick up marks for ‘A01’.
