Lesson details
Key learning points
- There are different ways to document work: filming discussions, and recording voices, using transcription software.
- It is important to find connections between the artists and sources you have chosen.
- Collaborating with peers, sharing insights and techniques fosters a supportive creative environment.

Document - refers to the process of recording and capturing various aspects of your work or creative journey
Connect - means to link or join things together to form a relationship or association
Common misconception
Documenting an artist’s journey is only about completed artworks.
Sketchbooks, notes, and drafts are just as important, showing the development of ideas, experimentation, and problem-solving along the way.
Provide a variety of documentation methods for students to explore and discuss, such as sketchbooks, display boards, and digital presentations. This allows students to see different approaches and inspires creativity in how they present their work.
Teacher tip
Equipment
Sketchbooks, large sheets of paper/board or access to digital media. Source images/ objects/ artist references. Drawing materials/ media.
