Developing an Exploration Proposal

This worksheet is designed to be used as a checklist and reference point for you during the
development of your Exploration Proposal. You should be checking back throughout the
development of your EP to ensure you have successfully met each of the criteria.
The main criteria which you will need to address in your Exploration Proposal are:
1. Use of an exploration proposal to define the development of an individual design process
that includes a plan of how the proposal will be undertaken.

A personal and comprehensively defined, detailed and articulate exploration


proposal and plan that demonstrates how the individual design process will be
developed.
The focus and subject matter to be explored are clearly defined and detailed
Perceptive and thoughtful discussion of conceptual possibilities
Effective use of art language and comprehensive explanation of the aesthetic
qualities to be explored.
Comprehensive description of the art form(s), materials, techniques and skills to
be explored and developed.

2. Exploration and development of subject matter and ideas within the design process that are
related to concepts and ideas described in the exploration proposal.

Demonstration of creative and insightful approaches in the exploration and


development of a range of ideas.
Comprehensive exploration that progressively develops and refines ideas and
subject matter in the development of the personal imagery.
Informative and detailed investigation of sources of inspiration and motivation,
including documentary evidence of the development of personal imagery.
Imagery is progressively developed and refined to effectively communicate ideas.

3. Exploration and development of aesthetic qualities in the design process relevant to the
ideas described in the exploration proposal.

Comprehensive and effective visual and written documentation that


demonstrates how a range of art elements communicate the aesthetic qualities
related to ideas and subject matter.
Consistently creative exploration and development of aesthetic qualities.
Comprehensive written material confidently uses art language and terminology
that reflects ideas.

4. Exploration of materials and development of techniques and processes within the design
process relevant to the art form(s) and ideas described in the exploration proposal.

Extensive and thoughtful exploration and comprehensive written and visual


documentation of materials, and the development of techniques appropriate to
the selected art form(s) and ideas.
Demonstration of consistent, progressive development and refinement of a very
high level of skill in the use of materials and techniques.

5. Evaluation of exploratory and developmental work throughout the design process.

Comprehensive annotations document the processes of analysis, evaluation and


refinement of ideas, aesthetics and techniques in the design process.
Strongly evident consolidation of thought processes with accomplished use of art
and visual language.
Insightful use of art elements and principles in a range of potential directions.

6. Selection and evaluation of a range of potential directions that will form the basis of
artworks in Unit 4.

Comprehensive selection of a range of potential directions


Potential directions are evaluated and demonstrate effective, creative and
innovative approaches.
Potential directions comprehensively reflect, visually and in writing, the
investigation, development and refinement of ideas, aesthetics and techniques
discussed in the exploration proposal.
