Assessment Objective 4: Making a personal, informed, and meaningful response

Making a personal response

You must demonstrate a personal response throughout your project, from the decisions you make when choosing a theme or brief, to the ways in which you realise your intentions in the final piece. Your source materials and how you respond to them, and how you record your ideas are key to showing a personal response.

By practising your skills in using different media and processes you are able to develop the ways in which you convey your ideas and responses - your personal visual language.
