REVISED EVALUATION FOR WASP 1

 WASP 1

EVALUATION REVISED FOR UNIT 1 VISUAL RECORDING

UNIT 2 MATERIALS. TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSES

Evaluations should be 800 words with images.  Please check spelling. 

1. How exactly did you capture primary and secondary source material for this project ?
2. What techniques and processes have you chosen to create your most successful  imagery?  Please discuss one in depth.
3. Discuss the elements you think are important to creating successful observational  study.  Consider analysis, hand and eye co-ordination, appropriate mark making,  expression and gesture. 
4. What effect have you achieved with this image and how effective do you think it has been at capturing a sense of the wasp ?.        
5. What kind of marks, expressive or controlled, have you applied, please describe these marks  and how you have produced them.
6. Which drawing has been successful at observing qualities of the wasp?   How have your marks been  appropriate  to defining the forms of the head, thorax and abdomen?
7.  What processes were the most successful at giving a sense of this form, and which ones were  better than others?
8.  How have you used materials to suggest the insect like qualities, what mark making qualities does this process allow you to make and which practitioners have been influencial  in both their mark making , observational analysis and use of material? Please describe who has influenced your imagery and which particular pieces with reasons why?
9. How did you achieve the Haynes manuel collage?  Describe what  this technique was and how  successful you think these outcomes were .  What qualities have you managed to achieve, what different mood, ideas does this technique evoke?
10. Please describe in detail how you have produced your laser cut? What did you do, what software have you used  and what kind of qualities does this process produce? 
11. What health and safety issues do you think you need to be aware of when using it?
12. What do you think is the potential of this process for making art and design imagery and what are the limitations/drawbacks of it?  Think about repeating images etc, stencils, jewellery etc.
13. What pieces within your sketchbook show evidence of highly experimental ways of combining and re-combining materials?
14. Given a bit more time, which pieces do you think you could  improve on and how?

 learners will use highly informed analysis and articulate critical vocabulary continuously in evaluating their exploratory studies. Learners will demonstrate fluency in the imaginative manipulation of materials and use creative experimental techniques to develop exciting work. They will present their knowledge of the potential and limitations of materials, techniques and processes showing independence and innovation in experimental studies. Their work will be characterised by articulate, ongoing review and refinement towards producing sophisticated and highly skilled outcomes.

learners will, independently, select and visually record from primary and other sources using practical skills that draw on a clear understanding and highly informed analysis of sources, creating exciting and imaginative ideas. Well-developed skills in review and evaluation together with refined of visual language, will result in more sophistication.
