Preparation of an exploration proposal and work plan that formulates the content and parameters of an individual studio process.

Bronte’s exploration proposal and work plan use art terminology to succinctly develop written and visual material that connects and outlines ideas -“Ordinary People and their everyday lives, and the urban landscape” to explain how her individual studio process will be structured and explored.

Evidence of exploration:

• Bronte’s exploration proposal is in the range of 1000 – 1500 words. Visual material including artworks by David Hockney, are cited and referenced to support the ideas, subject matter and conceptual possibilities explained in the exploration proposal.
• The exploration proposal and work plan are placed at the start of the Unit 3 Visual Diary.

Preparation of an exploration proposal and work plan that formulates the content and parameters of an individual studio process.

Bronte’s exploration proposal addresses the following content:

• The focus and subject matter to be developed. – “The ordinary”
• The art forms through which the studio process will be developed.
• The analysis and interpretation of sources of inspiration relevant to student ideas conceptual possibilities.
• The use of art elements, art principles and aesthetic qualities to be investigated the materials and techniques to be explored and developed planning of the studio process.
• At the end of the exploration proposal, there is a work plan that provides a weekly overview to explain how the studio process will be structured and managed – this is also updated along the way in the studio process.
