GCSE/YR/2

GCSE YR2 / AUTUMN AND SPRING TERMS

PREPARING FOR THE MOCK 

DIGITAL PORTFOLIOS

In class we will be working on our Behance digital portfolios

  • Writing text: this will be about looking at the writing support pages under USEFUL in the main menu.

    • ​Use headings and subheadings where you can (CAPITAL LETTERS, and bold text) as well as making good art and design words in bold

  • organising or reorganising projects to make sure that you are showing off our work in the best way possible - for some this may just mean enlarging artwork and reducing some of the contextual references (other artist's work)

  • Make sure all artwork is in place on the right boards - downloaded from Dropbox

ADDING ARTWORK TO PROJECTS

  • If all the above is completed then you can move on to producing new artworks

    • There is no need to start any new projects, in the time we have left we want to add high impact studies and artworks that can be included in the projects we have. This may include improving something that we now think could be done better.

EXTRA CLASSES (OR COMPLETE AT HOME)

  • Please make sure all the above is completed for next week (week starting 15th March). You also have the option of coming in for the extra class times if you find it easier working in the studio:

    • Extra available studio times:​

      • Tuesday 1.30pm - 3.30pm​

      • Wednesday 6pm - 8pm

      • If you can't make either of the above times and you want an extra 2 hours in the studio please let me know and we will make a time somewhere in the week that suits you.

WEEK STARTING 15TH MARCH

DIGITAL PORTFOLIOS

Digital portfolios should now be complete (you can of course always tweak details but the bulk of the portfolio should be finished) giving us time to add studies and artworks to our portfolios.

NEW WORK

  • In discussions with me we can decide where we might improve a project

  • I have a series of high impact projects that can be applied to any theme and project - these will appear here shortly and will be discussed in class this week and onwards.

WEEK STARTING 22TH MARCH

PRODUCING ARTWORK

  • I want you to be focusing on adding artworks to your existing projects from now onwards.

  • If you need to do more on your digital portfolios (which one or two do) please do this at home, you can of course talk to me about progress but I want studio time for producing art.

  • You can decide to go back to artworks that you think you can improve.

  • Have all your projects got a final artwork - please check. This doesn't apply to Exercises and Studies board.

  • I have listed a few High Impact projects under USEFUL in the menu. Please have a look at these and discuss where you could apply these in your work.

  • Also in class I will discuss individually how your projects can be developed.
