I would like to remind you that this week you will work more independently and responsibly to ensure you meet the submission deadline. Attend your Art sessions as normal as you will use this time to complete any outstanding work.

I will be meeting with you all this and next week on a 1:1 basis for your Induction summative assessment feedback. During these meetings you will be given feedback on your project including quality & completion of work, attendance & personal motivation, and how you have met or are working towards your target grade!

Week 4 – w/c 21st Sept

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. This week is formative assessment week and your Induction project checklists have now gone live on Teams Notebook! Please start ticking off work as you upload to blogs. From Tuesday I will start checking and marking blog pages and meet with you in classes to RAG rate checklists. Please look out for any RED or AMBER highlighted pieces of work as they are either missing from your blog or not sufficient enough.

The final deadline for presenting all work to blogs is Monday 28th September 5pm. Any work added to blogs after this deadline will not be assessed as part of summative assessment. 1:1 summative feedback appointments will take place across Tuesday 29th September and Friday 2nd October with me next week. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Good luck and I look forward to seeing all of your great work!

In 2D this week please work on completing & uploading your 2D checklist tasks, and then tasks from your 3D & Digital checklists. You will also need to complete a final project evaluation (just one for across all three subjects which needs to be uploaded to your homepage). Use all of your sessions in college this week effectively and please work responsibly. We expect you to work on your blogs outside of college too to ensure you meet the project deadline next week!

Instructions for Practical Task

Remote Homework – See Week 3 Teams Assignments

Our world is filled with Order & Chaos. It is everywhere when you start looking…in the library, in shop windows, architecture, desks, busy streets, tangled cables, scattered objects, in crowds.

Instructions: 

1. Watch the video attached on ‘order & chaos in photography’ and answer the multiple choice questions on the quiz handout attached. Upload to your Induction Homepage as a PDF. 
2. Next, take at 3 photos of order around you and 3 photos of chaos around you. Then, take 1 photo of both order & chaos shown at the same time. Use your mobile phone or a digital camera. Try to do this outside of college. Be creative with your shots! 
3. Upload your photographs to your Induction Homepage.  
4. By each photograph write a short reflection on the following:  

• Describe what is in the photograph and the order or chaos within it 
• Explain what techniques/ visual elements/ rules of composition/ principles of design you used?
• What mood is created in the photograph? How does it make you feel?

Week 2 – w/c 7th Sept

Hello year 2s, I hope you all had a good weekend. This week you will continue to focus on your Order/ Chaos artist research in your pairs & response pieces. On Tuesday you will continue to work independently in your pairs on your artist research presentation and on Friday you will be asked to focus on your personal practical 2D response piece in the 2D workshop.

The deadline for all the elements of your pair task is Friday 18th September when you will present your research and artwork to the rest of the class.

Bohdan & Reuben	Artist – Julie Mehretu
Zoya & Shakira	Artist – Jackson Pollock

In your pair agree who will take responsibility for which element of the task. In lesson today continue the following;

Task 1

Presentation slides:

• A title-page – slide 1
• A short introduction to you both – Names. Why you chose this artist? What you like about their work? How you allocated tasks and organised yourselves to meet the deadline? slide 2
• 6-10 images of your chosen artist that fit with the project themes of order & chaos – do they represent order or chaos, or both? – slide 3

Task 2

The below should be presented on your presentation slide 4...

• Choose two images of the artist’s work and answer the following questions; Describe what can you see in the images -colour/line/shape/technique/materials/subject matter/texture/pattern/space/form.
• What are the meanings behind the work? What ideas are they exploring in the pieces?
• How does the artist show order or chaos, or both in their artwork?
• What have you learnt about the artist when exploring their work? What do you like and what would you like to try in your own work?
• How do you feel when looking at the work?

Task 3

The below should be presented on your presentation slide 5 & 6...

Now, each of you create your own A1 or A2 interpretation of your artist’s work. You may choose to use acrylic paint/water colour paint/oil pastels/ chalk pastels/collage/ mixed media- be as creative and experimental as you wish!

Record your practical work through a series of photographs as you make the piece and record an image of the final outcome as you will be asked to present these images on your blog for assessment at the end of the project.

Then, reflect on your work and answer the evaluation questions below;
– How has your own experiment been influenced by the artist, through techniques/
materials/ ideas?
– What went well – which areas were successful and why?
– How did you resolve any difficulties and what was the impact?
– What ideas could you take forward in your own more independent experiments later in the
year?

Week 1 – w/c 31st Aug

Good morning everyone and welcome to Creative Design Year 2! We are all looking forward to working with you again this year. We hope you had a good summer break – did any of you visit any galleries or exhibitions over the summer or create any artwork?

We will start with some ice breakers so we can all learn a little more about each other. I will then move on to explaining your year 2 Extended Diploma course calendar and timetable, and reminding you of the standards for success, workshop rules and remote blended learning work. We will then discuss your induction project brief as a group.

During your induction project in 2D we will recap the different visual elements in Art & Design, test your knowledge and consider how other artists use visual elements in their own work through group discussion and your own practical experiments.

In Lesson Tasks

Speed Sketch and Ice Breaker Questions

Each person has 5 minutes to sketch their partner while asking:

1. Name one thing your teachers/ friends may not know about you (hidden talent, impressive skill, pets, celebrity relatives for example)?

2.What is your dream job?

3.Who is your favourite artist and why?

4. What is your biggest strength (can be personal or academic)?

5.What art pathway do you want to specialise in this year and why?

Induction Project Brief

This year’s induction project theme is ‘Order & Chaos’. In 2D we will consider the work of artists such as Jackson Pollock, Bridget Riley and Jean-Michel Basquiat and explore some of their techniques in your own experiments. Before embarking on these experiments, you will work in pairs to complete initial artist research, choosing an order & chaos artist from the list below. You will then each create a personal response to the artist and will put this together in a presentation and share your work to the class in week 3.

What is Creativity? – Large Group Brainstorm

In art, creativity involves experimenting, taking risks, solving problems, and developing personal responses to the world around us. Creativity is using your imagination and skills to create something new, personal, or meaningful.

In pairs, create large scale brainstorms to represent what creativity means to you!

Task 1 – Research and mind mapping – 10 mins

In pairs write down the following;

• Words linked to the theme of creativity
• Images linked to being creative
• Objects linked to being creative
• Ideas of different artists & designers you think are particularly creative

Task 2 – Practical

• Experiment with a range of media – pens, colour pencils, oil pastels, ink, paint
• Draw, sketch, doodle
• Write words/ phrases
• Draw patterns
• Explore marks & movement

Task 3 – Record your work

• Take photographs of your work – sections and the whole thing, so you can present it on your blog later in the project

Task 4 – Discussion – 10 mins

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” 
– Scott Adams 

• In pairs – what’s your opinion?
• Write answers on a post-it note
