The document provides guidance to a student on developing their final idea for an art exam over the next few weeks. It instructs the student to create 2-3 final idea boards exploring potential designs and media for their final piece. The student is shown examples of boards exploring two ideas for a large scale acrylic painting on the theme of distortion, with one idea favored. The document offers tips on annotation and inclusion of artistic influences. It stresses further exploring the chosen idea and creating a board with the final design concept and evaluation photos.

2. You have now
experimented
with a range of
materials and
begun to
consider how
you might
create your
final outcome
Next … you are going to develop your final idea further so you
are able to come into the exam confident and organised ready to
create a successful final outcome.

3. Idea boards
Over the next few weeks
you need to create 2-3
final piece ideas. These
can be formatted in a
variety of ways. You may
want to create ideas
straight onto the boards or
create small canvases or
sculptures that you can
photograph and then write
about on your boards
(loose work will also be
submitted)
I have decided to create a large scale
painting to represent my theme
‘distortion’. Here is one of the images I
am considering using for my final piece.
I have used acrylic paint and I feel this
has worked well to show different tones
as well as the distortion and the
movement in the image
Here is the second image I am considering
using for my final piece. I have again acrylic
paint tat has helped me build up the range of
colours and movement in the image. At this
stage I feel Idea one is a more striking image
for a final outcome.
Idea one Idea two You can have
more than one
design on a
board or have
each board as
a separate
design idea

All designs
should be
clearly
annotated
explaining how
they link to your
theme, what
media you have
used, your
opinions etc

Your design ideas may show a range of different images you are thinking of using for
one final outcome as shown in the two examples below.
For extra marks add artist influences to
the design boards and explain how they
have inspired you with the design you
have created.

5. You may have already chosen the image you want to use so your final designs might
simple be trying out different colour schemes or techniques that you could use
Idea one Idea two Idea three

6. If you have
decided to
create a
mixed media
piece. Your
design ideas
maybe trying
out different
combinations
of materials
for your final
piece

8. If you want to create 3D work make sure you experiment with your chosen material.
This will probably mean creating a small model and maybe trying some sections to a
larger scale

9. Finally…
Explore your chosen idea
further. Create a final
board with an image of
your chosen idea and an
explanation on why you
have chosen it. During
the exam you could also
take photographs of your
work as you go along to
stick on this board and at
the end write a brief
evaluation
