LEVEL 3

AIM OF THE UNITBy completing this unit, learners will understand the work of artists who use drawing as a significant art form in its own right. They will be able to adapt the techniques, approaches and media used by other artists to a series of their own drawings. Learners will be able to develop ideas for, realise and present a personal drawing project.

2 Be able to develop skills in using drawing techniques, approaches and media

3 Be able to develop ideas for a personal fine art drawing project

4 Be able to realise a personal fine art drawing project

5 Be able to present a personal fine art drawing project

P1 Learners investigate artists who use drawing as a significant art form in its own right, using annotated studies

P2 Learners investigate the drawing techniques and approaches used by artists, using annotated studies

P3 Learners produce a series of drawings influenced by the artists they have investigated

P4 Learners develop ideas for a personal fine art drawing project

P5 Learners realise a competent personal fine art drawing project, along with a sketchbook/journal that records their thoughts and progress

P6 Learners appropriately present the finished personal fine art drawing project

M1 Learners adapt the techniques, approaches and media of the artists that they have investigated to their own ideas or subject matter, to produce a series of successful drawings

M2 The ideas learners develop are imaginative, and have a clear focus for a cohesive personal fine art drawing project

M3 Learners demonstrate proficient skills in producing a successful fine art drawing project. The outcome produced is generally of a good quality

TEACHING CONTENTThe unit content describes what has to be taught to ensure that learners are able to access the highest grade.

Anything which follows an i.e. details what must be taught as part of that area of content.

Anything which follows an e.g. is illustrative, it should be noted that where e.g. is used, learners must know and be able to apply relevant examples to their work though these do not need to be the same ones specified in the unit content.

DELIVERY GUIDANCEThis unit is centre-assessed and externally moderated.

In order to achieve this unit, learners must produce a portfolio of evidence showing that they can meet all the pass grading criteria.

Portfolios of work must be produced independently. Portfolios put forward for moderation must be available for the OCR Visiting Moderator to access freely during the moderation visit, along with witness statements and any other necessary supporting documentation.

Centres must confirm to OCR that the evidence produced by learners is authentic.

In order to achieve this unit, learners must produce evidence that meets all the pass grading criteria a. There are no other additional requirements for this unit.

For P1 one should look to provide an opportunity for candidates to investigate a wide range of artists who use drawingasasignificantartforminitsownright.Someinitialguidance might benefit learners as to which artists/sources might be most suitable to start an investigation. A visit to agallery/exhibitionorbook,forexample,‘VitaminD’(seeresources), could be very useful, or artist selected could be linked to another unit.

The focus of P2 is the techniques, approaches and media used by artists producing fine art drawings.

P1 and P2 could be integrated and evidenced together, a range of techniques/approaches/media being used to investigate the artists’ fine art drawing.

If the investigation is used creatively with the learner interpreting the artists work in a personal way then it could naturally lead to P3/M1 where drawing skills can be developed as a series of drawing influenced by artists studied, are produced.

Ideas for a personal fine art project should be developed. A wide range of opportunities exist, for example combining an approach of one artist, with the style/technique/media of another,adrawnanimation(WilliamKentridge),orthelargescale drawing/environments inspired by the early work of GilbertandGeorgeetc.

A personal fine art drawing project should be realised P5/P6/M3/D1 and be appropriately presented.

Evidence for this unit could take the form of annotated studies/sketches/drawings, perhaps in a sketchbook or journal supporting investigations, ideas development, decisions made, and reflecting some understanding of why and how drawings play the part they do in contemporary art. These would accompany the final drawing outcome/project which could take a variety of forms/scales etc.
