During this course, students are introduced to a variety of learning experiences, which encourage the development of skills through the use of media, processes, techniques and technologies relevant to their chosen title(s) and related area(s) of study. Students will show knowledge, understanding and skills in the development of their personal work informed by first-hand experiences and appropriate secondary sources. Students will be encouraged to progressively develop their own strengths and interests in the subject and, increasingly, follow their own lines of enquiry.
As part of the process, they will develop the knowledge and understanding through sustained practical application of skills to realise personal intentions. Students learn how sources inspire the development of ideas.
For example, drawing on:
• the work and approaches of artists, craftspeople or designers from contemporary and/or historical contexts, periods, societies and cultures
• contemporary and/or historical environments, situations or issues 12 Visit aqa.org.uk/8201 for the most up-to-date specification, resources, support and administration

• the different purposes, intentions and functions of art, craft and design in a variety of contexts and as appropriate to students’ own work.
