On Tuesday 15 December you will have a formal
assessment. You will be graded for this
term’s work and must pass this in order to move onto the next stage of this
course. In order to pass this stage of
the course your folio must show
coverage for all projects done this term
We aim to create a superb
portfolio for your formal assessment point before Christmas and be ready for interviews
in January. For things to run smoothly
we need you to be organised, punctual and thorough.
TUTORIAL 1
You will need:
Foundation
course work including sketchbooks
A level
Art , Photography, Textiles, Design Tech, Media studies etc.
It is unlikely that AS work will
be used if you took this to A2 but you can bring along selected work. You can also submit other self motivated
work. Please make sure you have all this work together in advance of your tutorials (it is impossible
to select it if you only have half your work. Please do not expect the Art or Photography dept
to be able to find your work at on the day of your tutorial, please find it in
advance.
Be prepared to be asked to add/modify or finish work for inclusion
within your folio work. This will take
time and it is in your interests to make sure these next 4 weeks are used
effectively within lessons to complete or add to any coursework to make sure
you will pass this term and maximise chances of acceptance at University.
All photography should be organised on one memory stick to show us all
your work on. This means selecting the best 15 images per project rather than
150 .. This is both A2 photography and work produced for us.
We will be deciding what size images are to printed to and what
sketchbooks to include.
IF YOU HAVE LARGE WORK, PHOTOGRAPH IT BEFORE YOUR TUTORIAL . MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS OF
DETAILS AND THE WHOLE to show us.
During the first tutorial you
will have work selected for your folio and you will need to scan(300) dpi and
print out images. These should be as
good a quality as possible. Some can be
printed out on the roller copier in photography the rest can be printed on the
colour copier in art. There will be
pressure on the scanners within IT so if you can come in early or stay late
this is recommended.
The following projects need to be located, labelled and organised for
staff when we see them. They should have
your name on the front of sketchbooks
A2 work-
Photography /Textiles/Design Tech/Art
Gallery Review
Stereotypes
Intensive Drawing
Typophillia- make sure all mock ups and final
pieces are present and this is printed and constructed well
Objects of Desire
Bright Idea
Narrative and Sequential – you need photos and edited
films to show us
Life Drawing
Make sure
all sketchbooks are named with project on the front This must be visible and
easy to identify. Georgie has the
labels.
Drawings
should be ironed, fixed or flattened etc
Expect the staff to quickly tell you what
to do with the work. Take on all advice
and please carry out. We are very
experienced at doing this so trust us, listen
and act.
You will
need a pen and notepad to take down instructions at tutorial 1 and require A
CAMERA to take a photo of the layout to remember at tutorial 2.
All Foundation work to date should be brought to
this tutorial regardless of whether you have finished it completely or not.
Anything else
If you have anything else you are
welcome to bring it in but we do not want to see GCSE work. It is too long ago now but if you have
anything you have done outside of college then we will have a look.
