This document provides guidance for students choosing a topic for their Year 13 personal investigation project. It instructs students to decide on a topic of interest to research through an essay and photographic work. Example topic ideas are given that students can consider, which should be linked to relevant artists and photographers. Students are told to create a mood board and mind map to explore potential topics. The personal investigation is intended to showcase a student's most advanced technical and conceptual work so they must choose an imaginative topic that allows for an in-depth investigation through extended visual and written work.
