Contextual sources may be works by artists, designers, craftspeople or architects, as well as cultural objects and artefacts. You can work from both primary and secondary contextual sources.
Studying how other artists and designers work is important to help your knowledge and understanding. Make notes on their ideas, techniques, style and development.
Aim to develop your own work rather than copying your source. This makes your work more personal and can be a valuable way of discovering new possibilities and developing your ideas.

A primary source is one that you study directly from first-hand experience. Primary sources can be natural objects, artefacts, places, people or events.
Working directly from a primary source allows you to: change your viewpoint experience objects, images, people or places in different lighting conditions look at things closely or from further away
