This document appears to be notes related to transitioning from GCSE to A-level coursework. It includes brief descriptions of different students' work before and after, as well as notes about introducing students to the sculptor Henry Moore. Students are encouraged to work at a larger scale and explore unfamiliar materials and techniques outside their comfort zone, as the mindset needed for A-levels is different than for GCSEs. An activity is described where students draw contour lines on potatoes to understand Moore's techniques for conveying form and the effects of gravity through contour marking.

1. GCSE to AS

2. Students trying to explore different ways of working using unusual materials/ increasing the scale of
their work
“Out of the comfort zone” This should apply to all subjects at A level where a different mindset is
needed as compared to GCSE

30. Henry Moore
We started off with an introduction to Henry Moore and some of his
drawings. Introducing to the idea that many of Moore’s sculptures
were large in scale, and that he was interested in mass, volume,
material and gravity. We talked about how you could see these
interests in his drawings – how the contour marks he made helped
describe volume and mass and how you can sense the weight of the
objects, and the effects of gravity pulling the objects towards the earth.
I showed the children how Moore’s special “contour” lines convey the
form of the object by drawing lines with a felt pen on a potato
