The Four Assessment Objectives.

A01: Looking at the work of other designers/ illustrators/ artists analysing the

work and responding to their work. Showing you have developed your ideas

clearly towards a final piece.

A02: Experimenting with your work - materials, imagery, layout etc. Using notes and annotations to explain your thoughts and ideas about your work as it progresses.

A03: Drawing, collecting imagery, taking photographs, annotation, anything which demonstrates the development and thinking behind your work.

AO4: Final piece and reflective evaluation. Your final piece should link in with the work you have done before the exam.

This summer:

• The first project you will do when we start back at school will have one theme, but will allow you to explore your own personal art style/direction.

• Whether that may be more traditional fine art, photography or Graphic design.

• During the first term you will explore a wide variety of art styles and then after Christmas, decide if you want to specialise (for e.g. Graphics or Photography) or stick with Art Craft and Design, which will allow you to explore all the areas within art and design.

• Throughout this mini summer project you are going to be covering all four assessment objectives, in preparation for the first project in September.

• This project will make up a part of your Component One ‘portfolio’

Journal Project • What is a journal?

• An art journal, or artist's journal, is a book kept by an artist as a visual, and sometimes verbal, record of her thoughts and ideas. Art journals generally combine visual journaling and writing, to create finished pages. Every imaginable style, media and technique is used by art journalists

Theme:

• Your Art journal can have any theme you like..

• During this time, this is going to be a chance for you to document the current situation and a chance for you to explore your thoughts visually and creatively.

• To collate a book/journal of images, reflections and thoughts about this strange time we are living in at the moment

• To be creative and not worry about being wrong or right

• Use things around us however much we take them for granted and don’t look at them closely to inspire our art work

• To use as much media as we can (if you don’t have it don’t worry – use what you can)

• Draw/paint/collage/photograph/digital art.. You can work anyway you like

• If you prefer you can even create the whole thing digitally

• Develop our creative skills

• Focus on skilled drawings and detail

• Use writing/words and quotes as part of your work.

Each Day/Page will have a theme

• Each page will have a theme

• I would expect you to produce1/2 pages a week

• You can add more pages of course, you can think of your own themes or use ideas from the following slides

I don’t have a sketchbook Miss………. Or.. Create a digital sketchbook

Add things to your journal:

Stick things in – find some memories and relate them to the theme

Draw on other things to stick in: • Receipts • Tickets • Scrap paper • Envelopes • postcards

Look online for examples of art journals, so see what kind of style you might like..

How to Analyse the Work of Others Purpose – What is the purpose of the work, describe what you see. Audience – Who is the intended audience?

Artist Research

Why did you choose this person, why did they inspire you?

What they do?

When they were working?

Changes in their life?

How is this work different/shocking etc.?

Write in Context, so for example if it was a piece of art from the 1920’s

how was it shocking at the time?

How is the context relevant to your artist?

How is the context relevant to your theme?

Why is this relevant and how could you use it?

What is the focus of the image?

Websites to look at… Tate Exam Help – This resource covers only some of the exam themes, but the ones that are on there are covered really well. It’s great to find a site with commentary linking the artists’ ideas to the theme and to one another. Plus I love that it introduces me to artists and works I didn’t already know. art2day – A fantastic resource for finding fine artists and photographers to inspire students or link the their individual projects. There are sections focused on different media which you can browse through. Alternatively there is a search function, though you have to donate to the site to gain access to this. Student Art Guide – Brilliant for exemplar sketchbooks to inspire students and help demonstrate teachers’ expectations. PhotoPedagogy – Aside from excellent resources for photography teachers, this site also features some great photography student sketchbooks with accompanying notes. The Art Story – This website focuses on modern and contemporary artists. It has a great, clear layout making it easy to use. The Art Story is the best example I have found of presenting key information about an artist. Analysis of artists’ work and context is set-out alongside relevant biography. The writing style and ideas are accessible too. Students can get high quality information on the 319 artists currently featured.

Art Gallery write up help: 2 sides of A4 and images

• A gallery report is a basic summary of your visit to a gallery and the artwork you viewed. The report discusses the content and media of the exhibit and includes biographical material about the artist. You may also include how the artwork is displayed or mounted in the gallery if relevant to your report. Remember, a gallery report is more a review than an exhaustive essay.

• Describe/write about at least two different pieces of art that you see during your virtual tour

• This can be in bullet point format

• You can include images

• If you are stuck with things to write, use the previous analysis sheets or the sheet on the next slide.
