1. AO3 - Brainstorm the starting point

CLOSE UP

Artists are sometimes inspired by the idea of close up views of their subject. For example, the Boyle Family, Robert Cottingham, Alison Watt and the photographer Andreas Feininger have created unusual and sometimes abstract work from close – up views.

Research appropriate sources and create your own response

Produce a brainstorm for the theme that uses word association to generate ideas.

Use the images on the next slide to inspire you...

The Boyle Family

Boyle Family is a group of collaborative artists based in London. They are perhaps most well known for their Earth studies.

These pictures - highly accurate painted casts that operate somewhere between painting and sculpture - involve the meticulous re-creation of randomly chosen areas of the Earth's surface using resin and fibreglass (as well as real materials from the site)Slide9

3. AO3 - Early intentions and ideas

Process

Content

Meaning

Purpose

CLOSE -UP

TOP TIP:

You could include some small thumbnail drawings to show your idea visually

Choose an area of your brainstorm to focus on

-

Make written notes about your early intentions for the project and what you hope to achieve by the end. (This plan may change!)

- Use the 4 headings and also include:

Objects you want to record visually

Artists and other sources you want to investigateSlide13

Suggested themes for Close up

Cut open fruit and vegetablesClose ups of machinery and mechanical partsClose ups of musical instruments from strange anglesClose ups of leaves and natural formsSlide14

AO3 - Primary and Secondary Recording

You must now find appropriate objects and items to record from. The main ways you will do this will be through

observational drawing

and

photography.

Record from

primary sources first

and move onto secondary sources if necessary…

(GRADE A / A*)

A

highly developed

ability to

fluently

and

skilfully

record observations relevant to intentions

(GRADE B)

A consistent

ability to

skilfully

record observations relevant to intentions

(GRADE C)A generally consistent ability to effectively record observations relevant to intentionsSlide15

Observational drawing

Success Criteria:

Quality tonal shading

High contrast

Interesting and unusual compositions

Zooming in and croppingSlide16

Photography

Success Criteria:

Interesting and unusual compositions

Appropriate themes

Zooming in and cropping

Pattern and textureSlide17

5. AO1 - Investigations from other sources

You must extend your investigations by using other sources of information

This could include other artists, a visit to a gallery or a local place of interest related to your theme

Record your investigations using photography, drawings, collected items and written notes.

TOP TIP:

Always refer to your intentions, state

why

you have investigated a source, how will it help with your final piece?Slide18

6. AO2 - Using materials to refine ideas

Choose appropriate materials to develop your ideas

See the next slide for ideas about materials

Re-visit and refine your experimental pieces up to the highest standard possible.

(GRADE A / A*)

A

highly developed

ability to

thoughtfully refine

ideas through

purposeful

and

discriminating selection

of appropriate materials and techniques

(GRADE B)

A

consistent

ability to

thoughtfully refine

ideas through

purposeful

selection of appropriate materials and techniques(GRADE C)A generally consistent ability to effectively refine ideas through experimenting and selecting appropriate materials and techniquesTOP TIP:Use materials that you have used before and are confident with!

Never spend more time writing about your practical work than doing it!Slide19

Final Design

Produce a quality final design for your final piece

This should be a refined drawing of how your 2D / 3D piece will look

Make notes using the 4 headings

TOP TIPS:

Highlight how your final piece will realise your intentions

Highlight links and connections to artist work that you have looked at..
