Your choice of resources should be linked to your understanding of the media and materials used by artists and designers. Practical experience and experimentation will help you understand the possibilities of various media and develop your technical skills.

You don't have to use all the different ideas and methods that you have explored, but your final work should be developed from or link with your studies in different media. It is important to show that you have experimented with processes and techniques, so you should present your samples and studies carefully in your workbook, journal or on mounted sheets.

You should make it clear how and why you have selected and used particular materials and working methods. For example, you could present examples of artists' work alongside your own studies. You could explain the connection in written annotations.

Checklist

When using your discoveries in media, materials, techniques and processes have you:

• selected and presented your studies carefully?
• made use of your discoveries?
• made clear links between your work and that of other artists, designers and craftspeople?
