Term 3

This next stage is all about YOU. Your work, in YOUR direction

What are you interested in? Focus on YOUR chosen topic every lesson. This topic can change how you want!

Your task is to dive into a topic of your choice, much like the internally set mock, but with far more experimentation, artist research and responses, photoshoots and much more time.
This should be something that you want to look into and end with something you are proud to show off.

Pay attention to how the students started their work

Developing your work.
Your ideas should relate to contextual sources of other artist's work and show that you really understand what it is they are doing.

Your work should show how you have experimented with your photographs and used the techniques of others' work. Your idea should not result in only 1 outcome, but many!

Your work should all be well recorded and made clear within a sketchbook. This should be presented well and can often be as important as the work itself that you are creating.

The final piece presentation is key to showing the audience exactly what you were thinking. Use formal elements and formal language demonstrate your finished creations.

Over the next 5 weeks: 

A01 - Develop


A02 - Experimentation


A03 - Record


A04 - Present

 

Research 5 different artists of your choice. These can be photographers, graphic designers, campaigns etc

Experiment with your imagery using your artists as a guide and inspiration

Complete at least 3 photoshoots and use these photographs to edit and experiment with

Plan and produce a set of final pieces that you have presented, allowing your idea to come to life

So, Where do we start?

Continue to work on your Internally set mock exam idea

OR

Start something completely new on a theme of your choice

Continue using the words of:
Adorn
Nature
Contrast
Inside/Outside
Extraordinary/Ordinary
Decay

Start a next topic from these:

Care
Us
Environment
The Elements
Astrology (Stars)
Journey
Fast Fashion
Accepted
Trapped

The Meaning of Lyrics
The Hold of Social Media
Time
Perception

Begin with a mind-map - get your ideas down on paper.
Try using CANVA and BE CREATIVE.

Head straight to PINTEREST if you are initially stuck for ideas.

Remember, let your Artist research direct your thought process.

 

The best way to get started AFTER you have your word/initial idea is to begin your artist research and EXPERIMENT

Think about WHAT you want your images to show and how you could go about doing that.

Below are a some examples of potential workshops....But you can also find your own as well
