Quick questions on WJEC A-Level Art and Design AO1 develop ideas through investigation

5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is unconnected research?
Show answer
Sources that never inform the practical work earn little. Link every source to a decision in your own development.
What is a one-off research burst?
Show answer
A single early page is not sustained investigation. Keep the enquiry developing across the project with a clear focus.
What are decorative sources?
Show answer
Pasting images for show, with no analysis or use, misses the objective entirely. AO1 rewards thinking, not collage of other people's work.
What is q1?
Show answer
State the wording of AO1 and identify its three key words. [Knowledge recall]
What is q2?
Show answer
Explain how to turn an artist study into strong AO1 evidence. [Short explanation]
