Practical information for you and your Parents/Carers

• You have a sketchbook and a series of images to produce. We will need more work than we can produce in class.

• The homework tasks range from 1 to 7.

• You can choose to do one or two questions in great depth, or you may choose to do more.

• You can do more than one sketchbook.

• This is great practice for the exam in April when AQA will give you seven questions to choose from.

• Remember Question 7 is your own choice so please discuss any alternative ideas with your teacher and we will decide if your idea is suitable and advise you how to go about it.

• You can use the SLR any time at Art club if you want to use a great camera.

• Alongside the sketchbook you will need to have a series of final prints, which your teacher can help you select and print in school. (But we are not psychic; you need to ask for help as and when you need it).

• A letter will be sent home to all candidates so that Parents/Carers know what it is you need to do.

• Miss Boardman and Mrs Freedman will check your progress at intervals to ensure your work is progressing well and we will tell you what your current grade is.

• You might want to ‘book out' the blue Fujifilm cameras on the odd occasion, please ask, this is fine.
