Extended Writing for Personal Investigation

What is the extended writing element of the Personal Investigation?
The Comp 1 Personal Investigation must include a ‘written element’ taking the ‘form of 1000-3000 words of extended response’. This Ofqual requirement effectively means that continuous prose must be submitted in addition to any short tracts of written annotation in sketchbooks or other formats.

I have created a help sheet that is linked at the top right of the blog. It's called 'Extended Writing'. Print it off and stick it in the back of your sketchbook for future reference.

Over the next few weeks, we will begin the process of researching and writing. Luckily, you don't have to complete all of the sections in one go. It is better if you write in short bursts of well-written prose and allow that to inform your work.

Let's focus on A01 first.

Task 1
Read through the help sheet thoroughly and ask questions of any parts that don't make sense.

Task 2
Create a Google Doc, name it 'Your name_Written Element_Personal Investigation' and share it with danhaycocks@me.com.

Task 3
Choose an artefact that is relevant to your investigation. Look at the Artists Linked By Theme sheet.
Work through points 1-7 on the Contextual Investigation sheet.
Include images within the document to illustrate your writing.
When you come to draw or work in the same style, complete this on separate paper and keep safe.
