Record all of your experiments, but make it clear in your work that you know which ones were successful and take these forward in your creative journey. This is evidence of your informed and insightful approach. This will attract a higher mark.
Equipment
Choose materials suitable for your specialism but offer a wide range to enable students to experiment freely.
