Students will develop contextual research and explorations alongside experimentation into materials and media and observational work to create final outcomes. Theme 3 - Component 1: Personal Investigation Students are required to conduct a practical investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme, supported by written material. Each student will follow a personal exploration of their choice that comprises both practical and written studies to produce personal responses and original work. Each question paper will consist of a choice of eight questions released by AQA to be used as starting points. Students independently develop a sketchbook (or equivalent) over a series of weeks to demonstrate understanding of the assessment objectives. Students then have a 15 hour exam to produce a final outcome in response. Assessment Component 1 - 60% Personal I
