This document provides guidance for students taking a GCSE Art exam focused on the theme of Past, Present, and/or Future. It outlines the four assessment objectives that must be demonstrated: looking at other artists, experimenting with media, recording ideas, and making a final piece. Several artists are presented as examples to inspire students with different interpretations and starting points related to people, places, natural world, objects, and activities. Students are instructed to begin working on their exam paper, create a Pinterest board, and decide on a focused theme over half term to prepare.
