Assessment Objective 4 is about presenting a personal, informed and meaningful response, from your initial research through to the final piece. You need to demonstrate analytical and critical understanding as you respond to your theme.

You must show that you have understood the theme, and that you have an understanding of the way artists, designers or craftspeople work. You need to demonstrate this understanding in your research and development studies, as well as in your final piece.

To make a meaningful response it is important to demonstrate that you have selected suitable source material and media. You need to make connections between your work and suitable contextual sources. You should record your ideas as you develop them into a completed final piece.

Organise your projects so that the development of your ideas and the connections between all the elements of your work are made clear. There should be a visual 'journey' from your starting point through to your final piece that demonstrates your understanding of your particular area(s) of art and design.
