EXPLORATION PROPOSAL
CONTENT
The VCE Studio Arts Study Design clearly defines the key knowledge and skills for the individual exploration proposal. You must include all of the key knowledge and skills when developing your individual exploration proposal. These include:
Conceptual possibilities (including an explanation of the ideas to be explored)
An explanation of the focus(theme) and subject matter to be explored
The art form(s) to be explored
The sources of inspiration to be investigated, analysed and interpreted in relation to your individual ideas
The aesthetic qualities (elements, principles, mood) to be explored in relation to your own ideas
The materials and techniques to be explored and how these support the communication of ideas
An explanation of specific materials and techniques that have been used (including any specific constraints)
The inclusion of a plan (tasks and deadlines)
Use of appropriate art language and terminology
Above is an exploration proposal checklist and an example of an A+ exploration proposal from last year.
