The document provides guidance for a personal study project in which the student will choose their own topic to research in order to strengthen their understanding of art issues. They are instructed to create a Pinterest board collecting ideas related to their topic and choose an artist for further study. The first task outlined is to decide on a topic of interest and begin their Pinterest board to gather inspiration.

1. Personal Study

2. You are going to choose your own topic
The purpose of your Personal Study is
to teach you something: to help you
develop as an artist and to strengthen
your understanding of art-related
issues. You will be creating Art work
around your chosen topic as well as an
essay. The most successful Personal
Studies communicate ‘a strong sense of
involvement through personal
enthusiasm and a commitment to
sustain the investigation’. So basically
make sure you choose a topic you are
interested in.

3. http://www.pinterest.com/beaumontart/
You should already have a Pinterest account. If not make
sure you create one this week and begin to follow
Beaumont Art Pinterest. Create an album of ideas for
your Personal Study. This is going to be extremely useful
for helping you with creative ideas and finding original,
relevant artists for your chosen topic.

4. Your first task is to decide what
you want your topic to be. It can be

panic! Tasks…

ideas
2- Choose an Artist and create a
