Explanatory Notes

This achievement standard is derived from The Arts in the New Zealand Curriculum, Learning Media, Ministry of Education, 2000; Level 8 strands, p. 81, Developing Practical Knowledge in the Visual Arts, Developing Ideas in the Visual Arts, Communicating and Interpreting in the Visual Arts and Understanding the Visual Arts in Context.

Evidence of the ability to generate, analyse, clarify and regenerate ideas will be identified in a range of work within photography practice. This may involve different processes, procedures, materials and techniques, all of which can be understood as drawing. This practice is dependent upon recognising and using drawing as a thinking and working process. Drawing is an ongoing decision-making process that enables a continuum to be established and maintained. Aspects of drawing are also

identifiable in finished work. Photography drawing may include sketches, research drawings, drawing notes, monochromatic and/or colour studies, technical

experiments/studies, collage, proof, and developmental prints and finished prints. Photography drawing should be used as central means of practical investigation. Where it is appropriate, students may include processes,

procedures, methods and techniques from other art fields.

Processes refers to the use of particular techniques with tools, technologies and materials.

Procedures refers to the order and nature of steps taken in getting from the beginning to the end of the problem.

Show knowledge of the characteristics and constraints of established processes, procedures, materials and techniques used.

All forms within photography practice are constrained by their kind, by the processes and procedures belonging to work of its kind and of the materials that characterise it. It is part of showing a practical understanding of photography practice to show an understanding of its limitations. This does not mean that students must not test the limits of such constraints. Indeed, if this is done successfully, the student should be rewarded. If, however, those constraints are ignored, then there can be no evidence, in the work, of the student’s knowledge of their existence and thus no evidence that they are understood.

Develop a systematic approach to relating ideas and methods in the production of work.

As part of producing work, it is important to be able to reflect critically on its outcome in a practical sense. This reflection will be evident in the work that follows. Evidence will be critically edited, ordered and related to show the nature and order of steps undertaken.The process of evaluating, as required for achievement with merit and achievement with excellence, will be evident in the analysis and clarification of ideas in order to regenerate.

Page 5: 2009 Photography 3.3 Outline

Use ideas and methods founded in recent and established practice in the production of original work.

Learning from established practice is the use of artists as models of practice and investigating the context within which art works are made. The purpose of this is to inform the student’s own work. Students are encouraged to explore work relating to their own cultural milieu and interests. What counts as recent and established practice is a matter for teachers and students to determine together while taking account of the work of those contemporary New Zealand artists who have achieved critical acclaim.

Note: Original work, in this context, does not carry the meaning normally associated with the work of mature and innovative artists. Original refers to the extent to which the submission develops beyond the study of established practice and reveals the student’s ability to make the work their own.

Critically relate refers to the student’s ability to reflect on the outcomes of their work, make appropriate decisions and act as a consequence of that reflection in the works that follow.

Synthesise refers to the ability to bring together ideas and methods from different sources, to integrate them in the development of the student’s own work.

Format of assessment

Each candidate presents for assessment a portfolio consisting of three A1-sized panels representing the requirements of the standard. Panels of markers appointed by NZQA assess the portfolios submitted by candidates. Candidates may enter portfolios for assessment in one or more of the level 3 Visual Arts external achievement standards.

Portfolio specifications

Each portfolio is free-standing and consists of three A1-sized panels of cardboard.

Work is portrait in orientation and mounted on three continuous faces.

The three panels are hinged with a suitable bookbinder’s self-adhesive tape or a glued binding cloth. The two outside panels fold inwards over the middle panel to ensure that artwork is not damaged.

All work is dry and fixed. Artwork presented for assessment is consistent

with the size of the portfolio panels. Three-dimensional work or large-scale work that

cannot be included in the portfolio in the original form may be represented by photographs and, where appropriate, accompanied by sketches, headings or diagrams. In such cases, the candidate should provide descriptive information about media and processes used, scale and site.

This achievement standard involves using drawing as the central means to generate, analyse,

clarify and regenerate ideas. It also involves showing knowledge of the characteristics and

constraints of established processes, procedures, materials and techniques, developing a

systematic approach to relating and evaluating ideas and methods, and using ideas and

methods founded in recent and established practice in the production of an original body of

work within PHOTOGRAPHY.

This folio achieved an Excellence in Level 3 Visual Arts Photography in 2008.The candidate explains their proposition clearly at the outset of this submission and then proceeds in a manner that is intelligent, insightful and original. The layout of the portfolio and the use of the slide carrier and camera to link across the panels add to the overall pictorial impact. Works are developed as series but also are successful as individual images and show a high level of consideration of the portfolio as an entire body of related works. As the portfolio progresses the ideas are clarified and there is a clear link between the generative work and the regeneration that allows the student to make purposeful decisions in regard to the pictorial and conceptual proposition undertaken.

TASK 2: INFORMATION STUDIES: referencing the subject.

The objective for this task is to establish a starting point for the folio through DRAWING

Record through DRAWING & through observation & ANALYSIS information about the subject taken from your

resource material

Work directly from the subject and consider a variety of compositional elements when setting up the initial

photographs

Explore the possibilities of a range of media appropriate to a drawing study

Select media to support identified pictorial issues appropriate to the theme or field in which you are working

Make decisions about possible directions based on your research & identified artistic exemplars BEFORE you begin.

TASK 3: COMPOSITIONAL STUDIES

Begin to explore the possibilities

of the subject, media pictorial

elements & influences derived

from research in the form of

compositional studies

Show continuity in the work &

demonstrate your thinking

sequentially.

Do not repeat yourself but work

systematically by responding to

the previous work & clarify the

ideas, through an EDITING &

EVALUATIVE Process.

TASK 4: SEQUENCES

LINKING IDEAS &

PICTORIAL ELEMENTS

WITH ARTISTIC

REFERENCES

Show your THINKING

logically & sequentially in a

series of drawing &

painting studies in which

the ideas, pictorial

elements, media & artistic

references are combined &

explored with fluency &

purpose.

TASK 5: CLARIFICATION &

DEVELOPMENT OF IDEAS

Critically EVALUATE the work to date &

produce works that CLARIFY the key

aspects in a printing study

demonstrating KNOWLEDGE &

UNDERSTANDING of the characteristics

& constraints of selected printmaking

processes, procedures materials &

techniques. The printing study should

demonstrate your understanding of all

the aspects previously explored &

should provide the LINK FOR THE NEXT

BODY OF WORK

TASK 6: PRODUCE A BODY

OF WORK THAT EXPLORES

IDEAS FOUNDED IN

RECENT AND ESTABLISHED

PRACTICE

Demonstrate knowledge

of characteristics and

constraints of established

practice & explore Options

for regenerating ideas.

Systematically evaluate

ideas & methods to

produce original &

innovative work.

IMAGINE PANEL ONE

Pictorial Issues

Lines, frames, depth of field, focus (which makes movement), repetition and colour.

Artist references:

Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager, Louise Lawler, Julia Rrap, August Sanders and Mike and Doug Starn.

Proposal

For my board I had six main ideas, which were lines, frames, depth of field, focus (which makes movement), repetition and colour. I chose to use digital photography to study colour as well as to be able to enhance photographs through Photoshop so the viewer would look twice to see if it was real or not.
