Elaborations

• • Elaboration engaging in visual brainstorming by selecting, organising and combining appropriate images, forms, visual art processes and materials to represent ideas about a particular subject; for example, annotating the process with short statements using correct terminology and using Viewpoints to develop questions to explore issues and concepts that arise from the combination of elements; for example, "What combinations are surprising, and where can this lead me?", "What would happen if I …?", "How can I push these ideas further?"
• • Elaboration documenting their visual arts practice when developing ideas and processes, including studio practice, such as correct use of materials and tools, creative thinking and reflection as they experiment and develop skills in using materials and techniques, finding ways to communicate their thinking visually and develop their use of visual arts language
• • Elaboration developing a series of compositional sketches as planning for a final artwork that communicates how the visual conventions and planned processes will communicate meaning; making decisions about the final artwork and justifying their choices
• • Elaboration exploring and researching ideas about their interests in the world/subject matter or concepts from a particular perspective or a range of perspectives in order to plan and refine their approaches to representing their ideas
• • Elaboration recording and documenting their research into a subject or theme using their own images or images from other sources, written annotations and comments, or evaluations
