A4: In the Style of...For this assignment you will be tasked with challenge of making a ‘response’ to your chosen artists work/ style...
Above is an example of a yr8 students ‘response’ to the work of David Hockney.
A4: In the Style of...Task 1: Planning
● Begin this assignment by finding and selecting an artist to use for your work. Use the postcard (handed out in class), and/or visit the examples in the Visual Arts eGallery HERE
● Ideally you should work from your previously chosen
(A2) artist/ postcard.
● Begin by drawing/ illustrating a mindmap that shows at least 3 possible ideas for making a ‘response’ to your chosen artist.
● Then produce some initial sketches/ studies that help
to visualise your intentions. Add colour and detail for effect.
● Choose ONE of your ideas to use for your main/ final
outcome, which will eventually be a painting created on A3 (size) paper.
A4: In the Style of...Task 2: Preparation
● After deciding which of your ideas you will use for your main outcome, using a new full-page in your sketchbook, create a ‘prep’ piece. This should be a practice, smaller version of what your intended final work will/should look like.
● Try to be as accurate as possible, and use water-colour
paints effectively for higher marks.
● Remember to use ‘good’ process/ technique, for example working from the background towards the foreground, using a range of tones, and including fine line using stronger colour/ tone for the details.
A4: In the Style of...Task 3: Final Outcome
● After you complete your ‘prep’ work, you should then be ready to commence work on your final/ main outcome.
● Collect a sheet of A3 (size) paper.
● Draw a 1cm border around the inside edge of the
paper, and add a title, date and your name/ class name.
● Lightly sketch-out your work, working directly from
your ‘prep’ piece.
● Improve the sketchy line by adding/ using a sharper harder line.
● Remove your previous sketchy lines.
● Add paint/ colour using ‘good’ process/ technique.
● This final outcome should take approx 2-3 lessons
to complete in full. Take you time, be careful and accurate.
