=== Students analyse at least two artists to guide their artistic decision making. Students must research and explain contextual issues, the describe visual qualities and how they have to been used to express meaning. ===

Ai) Formal Analysis: Function, Media and Cultural Significance (Compare and contrast one narrative work by any two artists in any period and culture. Use appropriate subject terms for art criticism, art labelling and image acknowledgement) Aii) Influence and Impact Today: (Reflect your knowledge and understanding further of the other artifacts that may carry narrative qualities) Aiii) Knowledge Transfer: (How you used the learnt knowledge from the research and transferred it to your own art making. You should let his/her style influence your work)

=The Project: Life Event= =2a) Brainstorm/Statement =
 * Set THREE specific personal goals of the project. Write a 200 words statement to tell how you approach to the project to reflect on the artistic intention. **

=2b) Contextual Research =

** Students need to show additional inspired artist(s) and their work(s) for investigation. Visual diagrams and annotation are required to show their artistic and concept awareness. **
=2c) Observational studies = === Students will make several observational drawings of different aspects of their overall design. These drawings should investigate tone, colour, light, texture, different mediums and artistic effects. ===

=2d) Design and investigation = ===Students will come up with a range of designs where they will investigate composition, materials and artistic elements. Final outcomes should be inspired and by artist research and contextual knowledge.===
