What should an A Level or GCSE Art sketchbook contain?
A sketchbook is a creative document that contains both written and visual material. It is a place for researching, exploring, planning and developing ideas – for testing, practising, evaluating and discussing your project.
It is the place where you learn from other artists and express and brainstorm ideas.
The sketchbook is an important part of your Coursework. It shows the journey and development towards your final piece and usually contains the following seen in the skecthbook below:
Holly Retallick Coursework Sketchbook
AS Example
Diagrams, thumbnails, composition plans, photographs and/or designs (particularly those that are incomplete or experimental)
Practise and trials of different techniques and processes
A range of mixed mediums and materials
AS Example
Evidence of first-hand responses to subject matter and artworks, demonstrated through observational photographs and annotated visits.
(Please note: the sketchbook must NOT be used as a dumping ground for irrelevant and distracting imagery. If you are going to present something in, evaluate it, discuss its relevance and explain how it helps to inform your own work.
All work contained within your DIGITAL SKETCHBOOK must support your Coursework or Exam as a whole.
