THE ART GCSE COURSE HAS NOW ENDED AND THERE IS NO CURRENT WORK
The transition world we begin in one week for those boys considering studying Fine Art or Photography at A level.
Start Date: Thursday 7th May
Previous Work
Work Set : LAST WEEK EVERYONE!
Fine Artists and Photographers - So it’s quite simple, you need to complete the work described previously for the examination project and most importantly of all you need to meet the deadline.
This last week should be used as a catch up week to students to complete any missing work. In this way you are able to demonstrate that you have completed the work and were well prepared for the examination. I think it’s a good way to finish things off in these most unusual times and you can say to yourself (and everyone else) that when you start something, you finish it.
Hopefully we can still also have a GCSE Exhibition.
When school does resume I will obviously be asking you to bring in all of the work.
If you want feedback from me (I strongly suggest you should) I will do this on a ‘first come, first served basis’ (any requests for feedback received after Tuesday 28th April will not get a reply).
Fine Artists - will need to send me a picture of every double page in the sketchbook for the exam project (even if you’ve sent it before) and also pictures of the work for the two black sheets (Initial Prep and Development) by the deadline.
Photographers - will need to send me their final PowerPoint and final images by the deadline.
Deadline: Thursday 30th April (don’t ask for an extension as this is not possible)
Work Set : Fine Artists - Complete a Double Sketchbook Page planning out your FINAL PIECE (I suggest a very detailed pencil line drawing or fine liner piece). Also include a detailed written explanation/evaluation of the final piece, linking it to the question, artists you’ve been influenced by, and of course the meaning and reasons behind the work. MAKE THIS LAST PAGE A GOOD ONE! Send me photographs of the work please when complete.
Photographers - It is my strong suggestion that Photographers complete the work/editing that you would have produced in the 10hr exam. Also include a detailed written explanation/evaluation of the final photographs, linking it to the question, artists/editing techniques etc you’ve been influenced by, and of course the meaning and reasons behind the work. MAKE THESE LAST SLIDES A GOOD ONE! Send me your PowerPoint work and final images please when complete.
Obviously I understand Photographers may be re-editing existing images, especially so If you were unable to go out to take a 4th photo-shoot. Don’t forget to explain any constraints/difficulties and decisions you’ve been forced to take because of the Lockdown in the final evaluation.
Deadline: Thursday 23rd April
NOTE: The 10hr Art Exam would have been on Thursday 30th April and Friday 1st May. The last week (from 23rd April - 30th April) will be offered as a catch up week to students to complete any missing work.
When school does resume I will obviously be asking you to bring in all of the work.
Hopefully we can still also have a GCSE Exhibition.
Work Set : Fine Artists - Development 2 – Complete a Double Sketchbook Page planning out your development with example Artwork. Also complete the 2nd piece of development for the ‘black sheet’. Email photographs of the work please.
Photographers - Complete Photo-shoot 4 (contact sheets, best images selection, artist research, editing, final images and evaluation). Send me your PowerPoint work and final images please.
If you are unable to go out to take a 4th photo-shoot you should aim to do some interesting/creative with existing images. This might simple mean editing them in a different way (i.e. looking at creative black & white techniques).
Deadline: Thursday 16th April
Work Set : Fine Artists - Development 1 – Complete a Double Sketchbook Page planning out your development with example Artwork. Email photographs of the work please. Also email me photographs of your 8 pages of a’artists’ research’ if you have not done so already.
Photographers - Complete Photo-shoot 3 (contact sheets, best images selection, artist research, editing, final images and evaluation). Send me your PowerPoint work and final images please.
Deadline: Thursday 2nd April
