With these images, you need to do some observational studies in a variety of art materials in order to also create media trials. Ensure that you also evaluate your media trials to show your selection process.

Homework - Refined design idea Self-directed – Task 5 Homework - Refined design idea Now that you have started working on the observational studies and media trials, you should be able to draw up a new, refined design idea. This should highlight how you have decided to develop one or more of your initial design ideas and combined these with your observational studies and media trials.
