1. AO3 - Brainstorm the starting point
EFFECTS OF LIGHT
Impressionist painters were inspired by how the effects of light changed the
appearance of their subjects. More recently, artists Susan Derges and Garry Fabian
Miller have exploited the effects of light to create camera-less photographs, and
filmmaker Tacita Dean has explored the unique effects of projected light.
Research appropriate sources and create your own work in response to Effects of Light
Produce a brainstorm for the theme that uses word association to generate ideas.
Use the images on the next slide to inspire you...

Impressionism
Taking their name from Claude
Monet's 'Impression, Sunrise', the
Impressionists were established in
Paris during the 1870's.
A diverse group of painters, rejected
by the art establishment, defiantly set
up their own exhibition. They
included Monet, Renoir,
Pissarro and Degas.
Landscapes, and scenes from modern
urban and suburban life painted in
bright, pure colours are typical.
Impressionists often began (and
sometimes completed) their paintings
outdoors rather in a studio. Their
rapidly applied brushstrokes are often
visible.

3. AO3 - Early intentions and ideas
-Choose an area of your brainstorm to focus on
- Make written notes about your early intentions for the project and what
you hope to achieve by the end. (This plan may change!)
- Use the 4 headings and also include:
-Objects you want to record visually
-Artists and other sources you want to investigate
CLOSE -UP
TOP TIP:
You could include some small
thumbnail drawings to show your
idea visually

4. AO3 - Primary and Secondary Recording
You must now find appropriate objects and items to record from. The main
ways you will do this will be through observational drawing and photography.
Record from primary sources first and move onto secondary sources if
necessary…
(GRADE A / A*)
A highly developed ability to fluently and skilfully record observations relevant to
intentions
(GRADE B)
A consistent ability to skilfully record observations relevant to intentions
(GRADE C)
A generally consistent ability to effectively record observations relevant to intentions
Observational drawing
Success Criteria:
-Quality tonal shading
-High contrast
- Interesting and unusual compositions
- Zooming in and cropping
-Dramatic lighting
Photography
Success Criteria:
-Interesting and unusual
compositions
-Appropriate themes
- Zooming in and cropping
- dramatic lighting
5. AO1 - Investigations from other sources
• You must extend your investigations by using other sources of
information
• This could include other artists, a visit to a gallery or a local place of
interest related to your theme
• Record your investigations using photography, drawings, collected items
and written notes.
TOP TIP:
Always refer to your intentions,
state why you have investigated a
source, how will it help with your
final piece?
6. AO2 - Using materials to refine ideas
(GRADE A / A*)
A highly developed ability to thoughtfully
refine ideas through purposeful and
discriminating selection of appropriate
materials and techniques
(GRADE B)
A consistent ability to thoughtfully refine
ideas through purposeful selection of
appropriate materials and techniques
(GRADE C)

refine ideas through experimenting and
selecting appropriate materials and
techniques
•
•
•
Choose appropriate materials to
develop your ideas
See the next slide for ideas about
materials
Re-visit and refine your
experimental pieces up to the
highest standard possible.
TOP TIP:
Use materials that you have used
before and are confident with!
Never spend more time writing
about your practical work than
doing it!
