Recording Ideas
A camera can be a useful tool for an artist.

Recording Ideas

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS3 in Art and Design for children aged 11 to 14 in years 7 to 9. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with producing creative work, exploring ideas and recording experiences.

As KS3 students develop their skills and abilities in art and design, they will subsequently learn how to organise their ideas and record their experiences in order to inform their project planning and provide them with a bank of visual imagery which will support their art. Recording ideas may take many forms - from quick and simple sketches 'in the field', to photographed images and perhaps even a collection of ideas and ephemera which inspires and consolidates ideas for a particular project.

1 .
A sketchbook is ideal for recording ideas. Which of the following is not good sketchbook practice?
Making quick, annotated sketches of things which inspire you

Collecting images, photographs and media cuttings which follow the theme of your project
Good sketchbooks are bulging with ideas from all over the place!
2 .
How might a digital camera be useful to you as an artist?
You could use it to photograph the weather each day as you work
You could use it to take pictures of your family

You can also manipulate images with software, or take a photograph of a still life to compare it to your drawing
