1. Unit 3: Personal Study

2. You are going to choose your own topic
The purpose of your Personal Study is
to teach you something: to help you
develop as an artist and to strengthen
your understanding of art-related
issues. You will be creating Art work
around your chosen topic as well as an
essay. The most successful Personal
Studies communicate ‘a strong sense of
involvement through personal
enthusiasm and a commitment to
sustain the investigation’. So basically
make sure you choose a topic you are
interested in.

3. Your first task is to decide what
you want your topic to be. It can
be fairly broad to begin with. It
would be useful if you could
create a nicely presented visual
mood board/spider diagram. This
can be created on A2 card.
Task One
You will be creating artist boards.
If you would like to do this on a
mount board you MUST bring in
£1 next week

4. http://www.pinterest.com/beaumontart/
You should already have a Pinterest account. If not make
sure you create one this week and begin to follow
Beaumont Art Pinterest. Create an album of ideas for your
Personal Study. This is going to be extremely useful for
helping you with creative ideas and finding original,
relevant artists for your chosen topic.

5. Task Two
You should have now
decided on your topic. Your
next task is find an artist
that is relevant to your
topic and create an artist
board on this artist. This
should include good
quality transcriptions,
facts, information and
good quality images.

6. Task Three
Create at least two more artist boards
for your topic. This will begin to give you
important marks for Artist research and
should also help you explore the
possibilities of your chosen topic.
