PART FIVE – THE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Demonstration of Technical and Visual Skills

I had to plan how I would get the dynamic perspective I wanted for the piece (lying down, looking up).  I had to arrange separate images I had photographed into an effective composition. I had to make the choice of materials to draw with and which material was needed for which part of the drawing (charcoal, pastel, oil pastels, 4b pencil). I had to work out how to actually draw such a large drawing – using the outdoors, boxes to stand the work on and a mood board to stick all my working images on to.  I tested the materials in my sketchbook before committing to the picture.

Quality of Outcome

I presented the final piece and all supporting work in my learning log. I wrote about the processes, thoughts and development in the log.

Demonstration of Creativity

I have experimented with support and scale in this part of the course.  I attempted, for the first time, a very large drawing. I tested this idea before drawing the final piece.  I used a support I have never used before  – the woodgrain printed wall paper.

I had to imagine the final composition – as the elements needed bringing together from four or more images studied and photographed.

I had to develop techniques myself to use these methods, e.g. mounting the paper on cardboard. I had to consider how I would break the piece down in to four if that was ever needed (for posting) and how I would mount these four pieces.

I have consolidated the positive things I have learnt over the whole course in the final drawing and know what skills and interests I would like to develop. I have also learnt those areas I may leave behind.

Context Reflection

I produced an artist’s statement

I have reflected on Part Five of the course below

I have re-visited previous work I have done – as documented in the learning log. I have tried to develop from what I have learnt (perspective, use of tone, use of line, image failures etc)

I have re-visited and inspirational artists’ work  – as documented in the learning log. I have tried to incorporate things from their work in to developing my own (scale, support, fearlessness, materials, ways of working etc).
