Equivalents Unit Coverage: Unit 1 & Unit 2

This project is about working from direct observation, thinking and exploring the world around us. You have used drawing to analyse, develop skills and to communicate ideas.

You have used a wide range of two and three dimensional materials and processes. Through using an experimental approach you are learning the creative process to generate new ideas

The following slides are a template to use in order to summarise your work, which should include information and images of your work produced for this assignment. Present the Powerpoint slides on your blog using ‘Slideshare’.

Information of how to embed Slideshare in your blog can be found in the toolkit on the Art & design website. Here is the link https://college.esher.ac.uk/subjects/Art_Design/Pages/Embed-SlideShare.aspx

**Use the following slides (nos. 3-12) to summarise the work you have produced - show how you have met the assessment criteria**

Equivalents Unit Coverage: Unit 1 & Unit 2The assignment is designed to produced opportunities to produce evidence for these units

Unit 1:2D 3D Visual LanguageYou need to produce work, which demonstrates development of skills and creativity in using visual languageThe work should be organised and annotated to show your evaluative skills and development over time. Also experimentation with mark-making and object-making techniques, formal elements and sources. Evidence should be from contextual studies, developmental and/or final project work

Unit 2:

Materials, Techniques and Processes

Produce work, which demonstrates your understanding of skills in using media, materials, techniques, processes and associated technology. This should include; samples, trials, notes, records and exploratory project work

Still life sculpture

Still life sculpture

Source StudiesAssessment criteria: Examples of ‘primary and secondary sources with a description of how others have used visual language in their work’

These could include: photographs of the still life and artists studies; drawings, colour, collage, sculpture, photographic studies

My Photo Line drawing of a the still life

Painting of the photo

Here, I have taken a primary source, the still life and drawn a line drawing of it. Then with that same still life, I took a photo of it, which is my secondary source and painted a picture of it. Therefore I have gone from primary to secondary with the same image and original object., Overall, this gives us an range of studies using different sources.

Formal Elements, mark making and object makingAssessment criteria: examples of your work where you have used a combination of formal elements (see Drawing Powerpoint for description of these), mark-making and object-making to develop ideas and intentions.

These could include drawings, painting, homework studies, sketch models and 3D work

Collage and mark making sketch

3d model made from card and string

3d model made from wood metal and wire.

Here, I have a collect of pieces using different pieces using different medias. The first is piece is done by sticking on pieces of card to main areas and then drawing on the outline in pen, then adding different marks to create depth shadow or texture. The second is a 3d sculpture made from card using folds and cutting out different shape pieces of card. Then the last is build in the workshop using MDF and metal and a few pieces of string.

Visual Language

Assessment criteria: An example and commentary of how you have used visual language in your work and how it has been influenced by others’ work.

Examples: Homework research and studies produced such as ‘in the style of…painting, collage work, sculpture research and development, cubism, photography

Visual language is the use of a image to convey a particular or feeling or message. For example William Turner uses a very limited amount colours to show his image. His colours are very grey and washed out and that is what I tried to replicate with the painting on the right. There are no particularly strong primary colours but more of a grey version of it.

Using mix media

Assessment criteria: Examples where you have worked with a range of techniques with information describing the characteristics of materials you have used

Examples: Use of mixed media, use of colour, painting, collage, models, 3D experiments in the workshop. Homework studies

For this project we have used a variety of different medias.First being MDF. Using the many machine in the workshop. We created a model. Machines used included band saws ,drills belt sander and bobbin sander. We used these to round edges or to make the wood a particular shape or size. For example I used the drill to make holes to thread the wire through. Another media we used was metal. The use of soft aluminium and wire to create out sculpture. We also used the workshop of this using such machinery as the spot welder, guillotine and clamp. We used these to create shapes we needed. As the metal was soft, it was easy to manipulate and create shapes.

Workshop (safety)Assessment criteria: Use materials, techniques and technology safely in creating and developing work. Experiment and explore the potential of using these to develop ideas

Example: Demonstration of techniques and Health & Safety rules of working in the workshop. Examples of work developed; drawings, colour studies, collages, models and how you have developed them. Workshop safety

• When in the workshop, always wear an overall• When using machinery or dangerous tools, use

safety goggles (gloves)• Make sure you keep your fingers away from blades

and sharp machinery• Make sure you tie your hair up if you have long hair• Do not distract people using machinery, only one

person at a time

The instructions to the equipment should be well understood before use. As if we use the equipment without knowing you could harm yourself. Also to know what you can and cant do on equipment as you do not want to be harming yourself, the machine or others around you.

Development Assessment criteria: Use materials, techniques and technology safely in creating and developing work. Experiment and explore the potential of using these to develop ideas

Example: Demonstration of techniques and Health & Safety rules of working in the workshop. Examples of work developed; drawings, colour studies, collages, models and how you have developed them.

I started with a collage/mark making piece. It is made from a3 card ,string and card. This image was drawn from a still life.

I used the 3d collage as inspiration for this sculpture made from string wire and card.

Then I used the brown card sculpture to make a more simplified and well measured sculpture.

Then finally I made a 3d sculpture inspired by the white card sculpture out of resistant materials (metal wire wood string etc.)

Evaluation Summary

Assessment criteria: evaluation of your work is vital to your development as an artist/designer –it is important to question your approach, what have you learnt, how have you developed an idea and what you would do differently in future to improve.

Evaluation of the use visual language in your work and how it was informed by looking at others’ approach (Unit 1)

Analyse and evaluate the creative potential and limitations of your use of materials, techniques and technology (Unit 2)

Evaluation: this includes on-going annotation in sketchbook and final project evaluation. Write bullet points and support with examples of your work
