What is the four phases as one process?Show answer
The develop, research, reflect and resolve phases are not a strict sequence you complete once; they cycle and overlap throughout the course.
What is consolidating evidence of inquiry?Show answer
Evidence of inquiry is the documented trail that shows how and why your body of work came to be. It includes your inquiry question and its refinements, examined research with focus questions, experiments with intentions and evaluations, reflections that end in reasoned decisions, and the resolved artworks with an artist statement. Consolidating this evidence means curating it so it is legible: a reviewer should be able to trace your thinking without you present to explain it.
What is refining the artwork itself?Show answer
Refinement also applies to the making. Late in Unit 4 you intensify the qualities that carry meaning and resolve the technical and formal choices so nothing distracts from the inquiry. Refinement is purposeful: each adjustment should make the body of work communicate its response more clearly, not just make it look more finished.
What is demonstrating reasoned decision-making?Show answer
The thread that ties the project together is reasoned decision-making. At each phase, you show not only what you did but why, grounded in evidence. A project where every significant choice is justified demonstrates the critical and creative thinking that the inquiry approach is designed to develop. This is the quality that separates a high resolution from a merely competent one.
What is disorganised evidence?Show answer
A deep inquiry presented chaotically reads as weaker than it is. Sequence and connect the evidence so it communicates.
