Year 11 - Updated Checklist

Developmental GCSE sketchbook page
This list is a guide to the MINIMUM you should have complete when we return from half term:
  • Your book should open with a title page - nothing fancy (there are no marks for title page decoration - invest your time where it counts), but a clear indication of what your project is all about - so “A sense of place” or “Self-image” or whichever mock exam title you have chosen to pursue.
  • Next should be your summer photos - but please don't see this as the end of the image gathering process for this project, adding to your imagery is encouraged at any time and can often re-energise your visual work. Include contact sheet thumbnails of all your shots and a decent selection (5+) printed at a larger scale (A5/A4).
  • A rich Mind map should follow your summer photos. Think literally, think laterally and really expand your ideas on your chosen theme, indicate in bold text the ideas that you are most excited by.
  • Pinterest boards are a quick way of grouping together lots of bits of inspiration - use this brilliant tool to explore your theme further, it is important that you remember to make note of those who have created the images you like so that you can return to it later. Compile two A3 pages of inspirational imagery which is accompanied by brief written annotation explaining why you have been inspired by these things.
  • A sustained piece of tonal pencil drawing (based on your photos) - this should feature a full range of tone and represent at least 3 hours worth of work.
  • The set of expressive timed drawings we completed in class (3 x 8 minute sketches), simply mounted into your book and briefly annotated.
  • Gold card plate and the prints taken from it effectively mounted in your sketchbook.
  • Analysis of the Gold Card printing process (see blog for details).
  • Carbon print.
  • Analytical research into 2 Artists appropriate to the direction of your project (refer to the additional guidance when doing this). Talk to staff to identify appropriate sources.
  • Developments from your gold card and carbon prints - working into with coloured inks, plus potentially digital or mixed media collage images.
Over Half Term:
  • Finish anything required in the list above including the second set of research.
  • Take any additional photographs that you require to inspire the independent phase and outcome of your mock exam project.
  • Make some decisions about the direction you intend to take with this set of work - when we get back from half term you should know what imagery is going to inspire your final piece and what media/scale you are heading towards.
You will then have 3 weeks to develop your plan by producing studies from your selected imagery in appropriate media. Last 2 weeks before Christmas are set aside for your Mock Exam (producing your outcome).

Year 10 - Collage Artist Research

To prepare for work we are undertaking in class you need to research and analyse a range of works by an Artist or Illustrator who works in mixed media or collage. 
Use the guidance carefully, it is important to start producing the kind of analytical research that secures good grades at GCSE.
Your research should be thoughtfully presented over a minimum of 2 sketchbook pages. 
Suggested Artists to research are:

Martin O'Neill (Illustrator), Eduardo Recife (Illustrator), Robert Rauschenberg (Artist), Kurt Schwitters (Artist), Joseph Cornell (Artist), Mark Powell (Illustrator), Tim Marrs (Illustrator), Nazario Graziano (Illustrator).

Joseph Cornell
Kurt Schwitters
Mark Powell
Martin O'Neill
Robert Rauschenberg
Eduardo Recife
Tim Marrs
RESEARCH
  • Identify each Artist.
  • Find examples of artworks –get good copies, list dates, dimensions and media used.
  • If you can find them, include quotations from the Artist. Try www.artquotes.net
ANALYSIS
  • Give a detailed description of the artwork. This includes analysing the formal qualities (see below) but also covers a straightforward description of what you see and should also refer to mood, atmosphere or message.
  • Analyse formal qualities – comment on use of tone, line, composition, colour, technique, scale, mark-making, media etc.
YOUR RESPONSE
  • Give an opinion on the Artworks, but ensure you justify what you say. Avoid simple value judgements (‘I really like/dislike…’) or vague, meaningless statements (’This piece is really effective’). Comment upon how successful or unsuccessful you find the artwork, and give specific reasons why you hold this opinion.
  • What is the relationship between this work and your own? Identify and explain connections between this artist’s work and your own.
VISUAL RESPONSE
  • It is important to also include a visual response to the artists’ work. This can either be a copy of an artwork (or a detail of a work) with the purpose of analysing technique; a diagram or study that investigates certain formal elements of the artwork (composition, brushwork); or (even better) a piece of work based on your own imagery that clearly uses some of the techniques, methods or aspects of this artist’s work. In your response use the same materials as employed by the original Artist wherever possible.
OVERALL PRESENTATION
  • Take pride in the overall presentation of your research, it should not be rushed. Consider each element carefully:  type/text, layout, titles, backgrounds, visual responses etc.
We will be looking at this work in your first lesson back after half term.

Year 10 and 11 Gold Card Printing Process Evaluation


Write up your process in full sentences, addressing each bullet point. Ensure that your write up would effectively form a set of instructions for someone who had not done the process. If you can take some photos of the tools you used and the final plate you produced to illustrate your account then award yourself extra marks!


  • List the materials you used for producing YOUR gold card plate - clue - they were not entirely the same as those illustrated in the photo above.
  • Describe how you transferred your image onto the gold card, in this photographic example a tracing has been used, but we did a variant on this process, explain.

  • Once the image was transferred onto the gold card how did you go about cutting the plate? Talk about tools you used and different mark-making techniques you employed (peeling, linear cutting, scratching etc.)
  • What health and safety issues are there with using craft knives - what are the likely consequences of misuse? How can you ensure you use them safely? (tidy work space? direction and force of cutting? position of fingers in relation to blade?


  • Describe the inking up process. How is ink applied? What steps do you need to take to keep yourself and the studio clean?


  • Once the plate is covered in ink, what did you have to do next before the plate was ready for printing? Clue is in the photos.


  • Once you are ready to print what did you (or your teacher) have to do to get the image from your plate onto paper? Describe the process illustrated in the series of photos below:
(Not the press you used, but you get the idea...)




  • Finally comment on how successful you feel your print was and what you might do differently next time you do the process to get even better results.

Year 10 - Identity Photos part 2 PREP TASK

OK, so earlier this term we all took some photos to get our "identity" project started, these have successfully sustained us to this point and have resulted in some decent drawing and printmaking. This is a major project and you need to maintain your interest and inspiration as we explore more processes and then go on to create independent work. For this to happen effectively you all need more high quality source imagery.
This might be inspired by further exploration of themes addressed in your first photos, or you might choose to focus on a different aspect of identity. What is important is getting some really striking images, consider lighting, camera angle and composition carefully and remember these photos need to excite you and express your identity in some way.

Here are some images that might spark an idea:


You could tell a story through your photos, or address an issue such as isolation.


Getting some friends to model and using a clean, neutral background gives you the chance to explore posture and expression - "I am confident" "I am thoughtful" etc.

Or potentially focusing on emotion through facial expression.

Using make up or text to add meaning to your shoot.

Exploring hobbies and interests, but trying to get some striking close ups, sporting equipment, clothing, or the body (see above) can work well for this.

Capture your personal space photographically - here an individual and their possessions are depicted, but the shot is successful due to the unusual high angle shot and use of a fish eye lens.

Capture a space that is important to you, perhaps somewhere special or beautiful.
They say "you are what you eat" so our food preferences are a part of our identity - food lends itself well to striking photography.

Hopefully that has given you all some "food for thought" and you can take a fresh batch of photos that enriches your project moving forwards. Don't just settle for easy options, if you have a good idea for a shoot that requires effort, then take steps to make it happen.
You should be taking at least 30 new shots - choose a theme and explore it by taking a range of related photos. You do not want one shot of a football, one of a facial expression and one of your lunch.

This prep task should be completed by our lesson on Friday 12th October at the very latest, but earlier is better.

Year 11 Mock Exam Project Research

Research Pages
For Prep this week we are asking you to research an Artist whose work relates to the Mock Exam theme you are exploring. Most Artists investigate a range of themes through their work, so when selecting works to analyse ensure you choose appropriately - things that have a clear link with your theme or techniques you intend to employ. 
  • What you need to do - look at your week 3 feedback/Firefly task for suggested Artists, produce 2 pages of research based upon one Artist's work.
  • Remember it is a visual subject so research pages need plenty of imagery, printed at a decent size (A6 -A5), what you write is important, but be succinct. A short paragraph for biographical background plus two slightly longer paragraphs analysing specific works by the Artist.
Guidance: 

RESEARCH

  1. Title your pages with the Artist’s name, you might consider using fonts available online from sites such as www.dafont.com (due to school IT firewalls you cannot install fonts, but you can type the words you want and "print screen" without having to do the installation).

  2. Find good images of your selected Artist's work that investigate ideas or techniques related to your theme/approach – don't use tiny jpegs that print out pixellated, print at around A5 scale (quarter of a sketchbook page).

  3. Give a little background information on each Artist, when they were born, do they belong to a particular Artistic movement?

  4. If possible include quotations from the Artists. www.artquotes.net is good for widely known Artists.
ANALYSIS

  1. Give a detailed description of the artwork.

  2. Analyse – comment upon use of formal elements: colour, composition, technique/media, scale, line etc.
  3. Discuss themes and ideas behind the work - what is the Artist investigating/expressing?
WRITTEN RESPONSE

  1. Give an opinion on the Artworks, but ensure you justify what you say. Avoid simple value judgements (‘I really like/dislike…’) or vague, meaningless statements (’This piece is really effective’). Comment upon how successful or unsuccessful you find the artwork, and give specific reasons why you hold this opinion - e.g. "I find this drawing particularly successful because of the way Dine's dramatic use of tone around the tool emphasises the simple forms". 

  2. What is the relationship between this work and the work you are undertaking? Where possible identify and explain connections between this artist’s work and your own.
    Make a visual response to the Artist you have researched.
VISUAL RESPONSE
  1. This should be an interpretation of ONE OF YOUR PHOTOS in the style of one of the Artists, not just a copy of one of their images. Use appropriate media.
OVERALL PRESENTATION

  1. Take pride in the overall presentation of your research, it should not be rushed. Consider each element carefully:  type, layout, titles, visual responses etc.
DEADLINE: Friday 5th October P1. I will be reviewing sketchbooks for overall progress next Friday and will use this as a guide for writing your first reports.
Many of you would be well advised to add to your source photography before next Friday as well, print images for inclusion in your sketchbook.

Year 10 - Identity Research Prep

Chuck Close

Cindy Sherman

Stefan Sagmeister

Tracey Emin

Vincent Van Gogh

Frida Kahlo
For Prep this week we are asking you to research an Artist whose work deals with identity. Most Artist's investigate a range of themes through their work, so when selecting works to analyse ensure you choose appropriately - things that have a clear link with identity/self-identity. All the Artist's whose work is illustrated above do this, it does not have to be a direct self portrait to explore the identity theme - for example Van Gogh's chair and the possessions he has chosen to arrange on it clearly tell you something about the man and his life, the same could be said for Tracey Emin's "Bed" installation.

  • What you need to do - choose one of the Artists above and produce 2 pages of research based upon their identity themed work.
Guidance: 

RESEARCH

  1. Title your pages with the Artist’s name, you might consider using fonts available online from sites such as www.dafont.com (due to school IT firewalls you cannot install fonts, but you can type the words you want and "print screen" without having to do the installation).

  2. Find good images of your selected Artist's work that investigate the identity theme – don't use tiny jpegs that print out pixellated, print at around A5 scale (quarter of a sketchbook page).

  3. Give a little background information on each Artist, when they were born, do they belong to a particular Artistic movement?

  4. If possible include quotations from the Artists. www.artquotes.net is good for widely known Artists.

ANALYSIS

  1. Give a detailed description of the artwork.

  2. Analyse – comment upon use of formal elements: colour, composition,technique/media, scale, line etc.
  3. Discuss themes and ideas behind the work - what is the Artist investigating/expressing?

WRITTEN RESPONSE


  1. Give an opinion on the Artworks, but ensure you justify what you say. Avoid simple value judgements (‘I really like/dislike…’) or vague, meaningless statements (’This piece is really effective’). Comment upon how successful or unsuccessful you find the artwork, and give specific reasons why you hold this opinion - e.g. "I find this drawing particularly successful because of the way Dine's dramatic use of tone around the tool emphasises the simple forms". 

  2. What is the relationship between this work and the work you are undertaking? Where possible identify and explain connections between this artist’s work and your own.

OVERALL PRESENTATION


  1. Take pride in the overall presentation of your research, it should not be rushed. Consider each element carefully:  type, layout, titles, visual responses etc.
Optional Extension task: 
Make a visual response to the Artist you have researched.
This should be an interpretation of ONE OF YOUR PHOTOS in the style of one of the Artists, not just a copy of one of their images. Use appropriate media.

Year 11 - Project Update

Firstly, Good News! The stock of new sketchbooks has arrived and these will be distributed in your next lesson.

The even better news - that means we can really start getting stuck in. As well as leading to your mock exam this set of work will form the basis of your GCSE coursework submission, so start well and then keep that momentum up.


Sketchbook Pages
  • Your book should open with a title page - nothing fancy (there are no marks for title page decoration - invest your time where it counts), but a clear indication of what your project is all about - so “A sense of place” or “Self-image” or whichever mock exam title you have chosen to pursue.
  • Next should be your summer photos - but please don't see this as the end of the image gathering process for this project, adding to your imagery is encouraged at any time and can often re-energise your visual work. Include contact sheet thumbnails of all your shots and a decent selection (5+) printed at a larger scale (A5/A4).
  • A rich Mind map should follow your summer photos. Think literally, think laterally and really expand your ideas on your chosen theme, indicate in bold text the ideas that you are most excited by.
  • Pinterest boards are a quick way of grouping together lots of bits of inspiration - use this brilliant tool to explore your theme further, it is important that you remember to make note of those who have created the images you like so that you can return to it later. Compile two A3 pages of inspirational imagery which is accompanied by brief written annotation explaining why you have been inspired by these things.
  • A sustained piece of tonal pencil drawing (based on your photos) - this should feature a full range of tone and represent at least 3 hours worth of work.
  • The set of expressive timed drawings we completed in class (3 x 8 minute sketches), simply mounted into your book and briefly annotated.
The items listed above should be complete and mounted thoughtfully into your book by Friday 21st September when books will be taken in for assessment.
  • As we get to know you and your ideas we will help you to select specific artists and designers whose work might help to advance your ideas. Research suggestions will form part of your feedback from the first assessment.
Extension Work:
  • Additional drawings in other media (e.g. Biro, fine liner).
We will then be ready to start the exciting practical studies and investigations that will build up to your final outcomes, some of these things will be taught as workshop sessions where staff will demonstrate a technique or process and some will require you to demonstrate a high degree of self motivation and greater independence. What you put in is what you will ultimately get back, so be ambitious and open-minded, get involved and work hard and success will follow.

Year 10 - Identity Checklist

Research pages

This is a general list of essential items to complete in your sketchbook, your own class teacher may vary this slightly so please ensure you are clear on what is expected.
This work is due in for assessment on Monday 24th September.

  • Title Page - "Identity" keep this simple, just find a striking font and print the title, do not spend hours decorating this page, it does not add value to your work.
  • Mind Map - one page, explore the identity theme through a mind map, the more ideas and lateral thinking the better - this should be a busy page.
  • Photos - contact sheets of thumbnail prints of your identity photos (20+ images) and larger prints (A5/A4) of 4 - 6 of your best shots. Briefly annotate your best shots to explain why you feel they are successful.
  • Sustained Drawing - Sustained tonal pencil drawing based on one of your identity photos, this should be well finished (if this didn't happen in the class sessions devoted to this, then use Prep time to complete).
  • Expressive Speed drawings - 3 x 8 minute drawings completed in class all mounted into book with brief annotation explaining the process.
  • Two Pages of Research - looking at an Artist who addresses identity through their work, we will give you suggested Artists and some guidance with this task in class next week.
Extension Work: Produce an additional sustained drawing in a different media (e.g. biro/fineliner) and/or complete a second set of research to broaden your understanding.

There are "Open Studio" Prep sessions in the Art Department after dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday with Mr. Maxfield in FAC1 - these offer a great opportunity to complete work with plenty of materials to hand. Attendance at these sessions is recorded, so your teachers will know you were there and taking your study seriously.

Reminder for Tomorrow's Lesson Mr. Bicknell's Year 10

I'm imagining yours may be a little more up to date!
For period 4 tomorrow (Tuesday 11th September) please arrive with your books and at least 4 of the photos you have taken printed out at A5 scale. We will be doing an intensive drawing session so we do not want to be wasting time at the start of the session printing photos.

YEAR 10 Prep Task - Identity Photography



Your first Art Lesson will be an introductory presentation including an overview of your first project "Identity".
Lesson two will offer a chance to explore the identity theme through mind-mapping and storyboarding for photographs, this will help you generate ideas and plan for your first prep task.
Your first Prep task needs to be completed in advance of your third Art lesson. In lesson 3 you will require the imagery produced in this Prep to undertake the next (drawing based) tasks.
For the prep you need to take a set of at least 20 photographs that explore aspects of the "identity" theme. These images should include some imaginative selfies and might also explore other aspects of identity such as:
  • Personal possessions.
  • Friends.
  • Environment.
  • Clothes.
  • Hobbies/interests.
Other appropriate topics for photographic investigation should be identified through your mind-mapping.

DO:
  •    Try to take visually interesting images.
  •   Consider camera angle/viewpoint (high angle/low angle can give striking shots).
  •   Consider composition/cropping - zooming in on details can give strong imagery.
  •    Try to take the photos in good light – look at the weather forecast and plan accordingly if you are shooting outside.
  •   Try to arrange your light sources in front of your subjects (rather than behind, which creates silhouettes and loses detail).
DON’T:
  •       Use secondary imagery from the internet – this is your project, own it!
  •       Use old photos, take new images with the project in mind.
  •       Leave the task to the last minute and rush it.
These photos are important and thoughtful completion of this task is essential to making a good start to the course. The quality of the imagery you work from has a significant effect on the quality of the work you produce!


YEAR 10 PROJECT - Identity


ART AND DESIGN DEPARTMENT
YEAR 10 ASSIGNMENT BRIEF                                                                                                           

Assignment title:

Self-Identity
Hand out date:

September 2018
Hand in deadline:






Project Outline





We will start the project by exploring ideas and imagery associated with self-identity. This will involve mind-mapping and collecting primary and secondary imagery, generating source material through your own photography will be essential.
Once we have some imagery to work with we will work through a range of techniques in response to our stimuli. These will include drawing, printmaking, painting, collage and digital manipulation. Throughout the project we will complement our progress with research into relevant work by Artists and Designers.
The aim is to produce an engaging range of images based around the self-identity theme, towards the end of the project we will collate our imagery together into a book. This will involve scanning and uploading our work and using an online publication service to format our outcome.
