Cycle of Investigation - Art, Craft & Design: Level 2 & 3 STUDY

This video introduces the Cycle of Investigation, a structured, inquiry-based pedagogical model that underpins all practical work in secondary art education.

The Cycle of Investigation is designed to promote independent thinking, critical reflection, and personal engagement throughout the creative process.

Specifically aligned with Edexcel’s Level 2 GCSE and Level 3 A Level qualifications in Art, Craft and Design, the Cycle is designed to promote independent thinking, critical reflection, and personal engagement throughout the creative process.

While tailored to these qualifications, the model is flexible and can be adapted for use across a range of courses and awarding bodies. It guides students from initial research through to the final outcome, encouraging ownership of their artistic development.
