U6 - Architectural Forms Submission Checklist

Phich Rodaswaeng

UNIT 12 – Fine Art Materials, Techniques and Processes.

Initial Research, Photography and Drawing

·        At least 4 pages of research into 2 contemporary Architects. Include background information and analysis of some specific buildings/projects. Discuss materials, aesthetics (form) and function. Include good reproductions of the Architect's work and take care over presentation.

·        A selection of photos of modern Architecture (around school and elsewhere), print contact sheets of your shoot and include 8 - 12 of the best shots printed out at A4 or A5 scale.

·        At least one fully finished full page sustained careful pencil tonal drawing from your Architectural photos (this should represent at least 3 hours work).

·        A set of timed expressive drawings.

Mixed Media Collage

·        At least 4 mixed media collages based around your Architectural imagery.

·        2 pages of research into a collage based mixed media Artist or Illustrator, including personal analysis of specific works.

Paper Engineering

·        2 pages research into a paper engineering Artist (see previous post).

·        Any Laser-cuts that can be mounted flat (skylines or building facades) with some accompanying annotation briefly explaining the process (2 pages).

·        1 or 2 pages for contact sheet thumbnails of your paper city photos.

·        1 or 2 pages with some of your best shots printed larger (A5), these should basically unedited (some cropping may be beneficial).

·        A further 2 pages with some shots manipulated through PhotoShop - experiment with colour, layering and offsetting images, adding text and anything else you can think of.

Project Outcome and Evaluation:

·        Clear planning for your final piece over at least 4 sketchbook pages (and potentially larger studies in addition), this means both annotation and imagery outlining your intentions. The nature of the imagery will depend on what you planned, but it could take the form of painted studies, photos of 3D maquettes, compositional sketches, collage experiments etc.

·        Visual reference to at least one Artist whose work inspired or influenced your final piece (in depth analysis not required) 2 pages, identify Artist/s and include plenty of good reproductions of their work plus brief notes on how it is relevant to your own creative direction in this project.

·        A well resolved final outcome within a Fine Art discipline.

·        A thorough illustrated and word processed project evaluation for Unit 12 that closely follows the guidance issued.

UNIT 42 – Printmaking

·        A Gold Card print based on your Architectural source imagery. Include the plate and prints taken from it in your sketchbooks.

·        At least 2 pieces of ambitious and detailed monoprinting based on your Architectural photographs.

·        A piece of monotype reduction printing.

·        Photocopier experiments with your prints (inverts, colour adjustments).

·        2 pages of research into the prints of Michael Goro, with personal analysis of specific works.

·        A range of screenprinting experiments based on your Architectural imagery.

·        2 pages research into the screenprinting of Laura Slater, with personal analysis of specific works.

·        At least one piece of printing that is taken further and developed independently in some way – likely to be easiest with your screenprinting, consider intercutting/ collage/mixed media.

·        A thorough illustrated and word processed project evaluation for Unit 42 that closely follows the guidance issued.

The Project is due to be submitted on the first day back from Half-Term (Monday 5th November). You will need to sign Unit submission forms then. Please use half term wisely to make sure everything is complete. You all have some terrific work, so go the extra mile to ensure everything is presented effectively and evaluated thoroughly.
Good Luck!
