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.
