UNDERSTANDING ART ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES

Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.

Mind Map Moodboards

Primary Source - study directly from first-hand experience.  Make observational sketches of your subject matter. You might sketch: natural objects, artefacts, places or people. Use a variety of media.  Take your own photographs – use different viewpoints and lighting conditions.  Visit a gallery/museum which is exhibiting work related to your theme. Collect leaflets, make studies of the artefacts, take photographs to document your visit.

Secondary Source - material produced by others.  Collect images of work by artists and designers – make sure it is relevant to your theme in terms of subject matter, ideas, style, use of materials and processes or techniques.  Make a copy of an artist or designers work. You don’t have to produce an exact copy of a piece, you might want to select an area that interests you or start with a small section of an image and extend it in the style of an artist.  Use photographs and images by other people and manipulate using ICT - change colours, tones, scale etc.

Generating ideas on the theme of your project

Show you are inspired by the work of artists/designers…….

• Record when and where the work was produced. Make notes about the work’s purpose or meaning, and the techniques used. Why you have chosen to use this image?
• Make connections between different images.
• Make connections between your ideas and the work of others.
• Can include information about..... culture, religion, history, tradition?

Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes. Try a range of different approaches in your developmental studies, this will help you understand the possibilities of various media and develop your technical skills. You need to……….

• Use a range of different media, processes and techniques
  • Experiment with different scales and forms – large/small or close-ups, 2D or 3D
  • Try out different combinations of media and techniques
  • Practise and improve your control of your chosen media
  • Make clear links between your work and that of other artists or designers
  • Keep a record of examples using different approaches and experiments
  • Evaluate images and designs in your sketchbook
• IMPROVE YOUR IDEAS AS A RESULT OF EXPERIMENTATION

Media: Pencil Charcoal Graphite Crayon Pastels Chalk Acrylic Watercolour Ink Wire

Powder Paint Pen Fineliner Biro Wax Photography Clay Glaze Thread Fabric Card

Approaches: Drawing Free Machine Embroidery Applique Fabric Manipulation Batik

Painting Dyeing Sculpture Printing – lino Collage Computer manipulation Sublimation

When recording initial ideas you need to:

 Make use of drawings, sketches, photographs and experiments with different media  Collect images from a variety of sources. Use Primary and Secondary sources to inform your ideas  Organise your initial research in your sketchbook before moving on to the development of ideas

When reflecting on your work you need to:

 Consider how you have selected and developed your ideas  Think about how you have used various media and processes  Refine and develop your skills and approach as your ideas progress  Think about how you could develop your ideas further  Finish with an evaluation of the whole project, point out strengths and weaknesses as well as what could be achieved with further work.

When recording the development of your ideas you need to:

 Keep all sorts of possibilities in front of you  Try out different layouts or combinations of images and ideas  Experiment with different media, techniques and scale  Use annotations alongside sketches, designs and images  Add written commentary to document your thoughts  Organise your studies into a sequence that shows the development of your ideas.

Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses. (^) Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.

You need to:

 Consider different themes or approaches to your brief

 Carefully select and studied your source material

 Make a personal choice about materials, media and working processes

 Experiment and control your chosen media, materials and techniques

 Record and develop your ideas in a personal way

 Organise and present your work carefully

 Realise you intentions, develop and complete a final piece or pieces

You must demonstrate a personal response throughout your project, from the decisions you make when choosing a theme, to the ways in which you realise your intentions in the final piece. Your source materials, how you respond to them, and how you record your ideas are key to showing a personal response.

It is important to organise your project so that the development of you ideas and the connections between all the elements of your work are made clear - there should be a visual journey from your starting point through to your final piece.
