A Level Art

Statement of Intent Guidelines

For each unit you are required to produce a written statement of intent.

What is a statement of intent?

A written piece of work, expressing clearly and fully the purpose or aim of your project.

When should it be written?

You should write your statement part way through your project once you are beginning to develop
and explore your idea.

How long should it be?

Aim for about 500 words. It is not an indepth evaluation, so select relevant information and discuss
general ideas. Do not discuss every drawing or artist in great detail. You should be showing a
broader understanding of your main points.

What should you include in your statement?

1. A critical review of the work you have completed so far. Not just a description of what you have
achieved:

 Analysis and evaluation of your observational work and secondary sources. What were your
initial intentions? Does the work express your intentions successfully?
 Analysis and evaluation of the artists/art movements you have studied. Why did you look at
these artists? What have these artists helped you to discover? How have these artists helped
you to move forward in your own work? What relationships are there between your own work
and that of other artists?
 Analysis of the methods (materials, tools, techniques) you have used in your sketchbook and
any outcomes produced in your book or on loose sheets. What relationships are there
between the methods you have used and those of your chosen artists? Why did you use
these materials? Which materials work best and why?

2. Write about your emerging ideas based on your review.

 What aspects of the work you have completed so far interest YOU the most?
 What ideas do you have and how do they link to your brief?
 What do you need to do to move yourself forward in this unit?
 How will you develop and explore your ideas further?
 What changes will you make and why?
 Explain the connections you are making with the work of other artists.
 What are your intentions for your final piece (what are you trying to communicate/explore)
and why?
 How will you make it?

VOCABULARY:
Analysis = detailed examination
Evaluation = appraise/assess

As you develop your work your ideas may well change from your statement of intent. This
is OK!!! Part of the creative process is to solve problems as they arise. So long as you
continually review your ideas visually and in written format it will all make perfect sense!
