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.
- How exactly did you capture primary and secondary source material for
this project ?
- What techniques and processes have you chosen to create your most successful
imagery?
Please discuss one in depth.
- 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.
- What effect have you achieved with this image and how effective do you
think it has been at capturing a sense of the wasp ?.
- What kind of marks, expressive or controlled, have you applied, please
describe these marks and how you have
produced them.
- 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?
- What processes were the most
successful at giving a sense of this form, and which ones were better than others?
- 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?
- 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?
- 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?
- What health and safety issues do you think you need to be aware of when
using it?
- 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.
- What pieces within your sketchbook show evidence of highly experimental
ways of combining and re-combining materials?
- 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.
Glossery:
Please try to use these words when describing your pieces:
mark-making; formal elements eg line, tone, colour, shape and form, pattern
and surface; observed studies, primary sources, secondary sources, media,
materials, techniques and technology ;visual language eg composition,
structure, balance, contrasts, weight
Develop: eg analyse, refine, explore, potential, composition (viewpoint,
cropping, enlarging, lighting, movement, structure, balance, arrangement),
modify (edit, adjust, clarify, augment, enhance, emphasise, rearrange),
feedback
