notes, gallery visits, and photographs

all go in your visual diary. Keep all

your images and test drawings etc. If

you work on the computer you must

do screen grabs as you go showing

each stage of your process. These,

printed out, will go in your visual diary.

Saving your work

If you plan to work using the

computers in anyway - I suggest you

set yourself up a Google Drive. It is

free and very easy to set up. This

means that you can save your work toa spot on the internet and you can

access it on any computer anywhere.

this is handy if you need to work at

school and at home and means you

don't have to worry about remember

USB drives, or only working on one

computer. It is also a good way to

keep a backup copy of any of your

files. It is private and only you willhave access to your information - it is not visible to anyone else. If

you already have a similar set up - such as a drop box or website

then that is fine to use also. I would save your work online as well as

in your drive at school. Losing files or computer breakdowns etc. will

not get special consideration when it comes to handing in your

work.

Gallery VisitsDuring the year, you should aim to

visit a variety of galleries regularly in

order to help develop your

ideas, concepts and to maintain an awareness of

contemporary styles, concepts and techniques present

in current art practices. Take notes about the works

you see with particular attention paid to the way works

are presented (what are they made out of, how are

they framed / hanging on the wall etc, how do theyfit into the gallery environment) and artists whose
