AREA OF STUDY 1
Exploration Proposal
This area of study focuses on the development of an exploration proposal that creates a framework
for the individual design process. The exploration proposal is prepared prior to the design process,
and may be expanded upon during the initial stages of the design process. The exploration proposal is
developed on an individual basis and sets out the student’s own creative responses to formulating the
content and parameters of the design process. The exploration proposal addresses the focus and subject
matter to be developed, ideas to be explored, and the art form/s through which the design process will
be developed. It also includes the sources of inspiration, conceptual possibilities and aesthetic qualities
to be investigated. Students identify the materials and techniques to be explored and developed in the
planning of the design process.
The exploration proposal supports the future development of artmaking, and remains a reference point
for the reflection and analysis of the development of artwork throughout the design process.
