A2 Fine Art Exam: Environment
Environment is the 2017 title for the A level Fine Art exam project (Unit 4). You will have a period of 8-10 weeks (plus the Spring half term and Easter holiday) to develop your ideas through preparatory studies before spending a day in the Art department realising your final outcome as part of the 15 hour, controlled assessment. You should aim to be ambitious in your final outcome and presentation.
The exam paper is full of ideas to help you get started. Your art teachers will also set class and home work tasks that will enable you to have the best start possible for your exam project. Make sure everything is documented clearly in your sketchbook.

Starter Homework:
Create an account on Pinterest (https://uk.pinterest.com). This is a brilliant way to search for inspiration. You simply search for different, related themes, artists or techniques and 'pin' them. Here is the link to Ms Powell's board for the exam theme: Environment
Use this to illustrate your initial responses to the theme (eg. mind map). We will come back to this once the set tasks are complete. Keep adding to your pin board over the course of the project. You will see more and more AS students and teacher boards on Pinterest as the project progresses. |

What Next?
Once you have completed all the set tasks you need to consider three starting points for your own response to the theme. Each idea must be supported by a link to an artist and your own drawings. Look through the power point, the exam paper and also the links below to help you. Having said this, you can choose to build on any of the processes and themes visited during the set tasks above.
