Secrets, Codes & Conventions
You will have a period of approximately 11 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 mock exam.
Starter Homework:
Look up the meanings of the words and begin to understand the theme more in depth.
You could also 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: Secrets, Codes & Conventions
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.
