L6 - Tools Project Checklist


Great to see all of you getting stuck in at the start of the course, to help you keep track of where you should be at with your current Tools project here is a checklist of work you should have complete by Monday 16th September.
  • A range of photos of your tool - thumbnail prints of all your shots (20+) should be included in your sketchbook and 4 - 6 of your best shots printed off at A5 or A4 scale. Brief annotation identifying why you consider particular shots successful should also be present.
  • A completed sustained tonal drawing from your tool photos done in pencil - this should be at least A4 in scale and represent 3+ hours worth of work.
  • A1 charcoal and chalk drawing done in class, photographed for inclusion in book and briefly annotated.
  • Prep task research into Jim Dine (tool drawings) and Florian Nicolle (collages) over at least 4 pages (see additional guidance in previous post) and include at least one visual response in appropriate media.
  • Florian Nicolle style collage piece done in class
  • Gold card prints and plate mounted in sketchbook with brief annotation about the process.
  • Monoprints, again with appropriate notes.
  • Acetate collage, using coloured papers on reverse of a copy of one of your prints, worked into with stitch.
If you have completed all that the following are suggested extension tasks:
  • Additional tool drawings exploring different media/approaches (e.g. Biro, fine liner, expressive).
  • Collage experiments - use copies of your existing work, layer up and work into with additional media.
Next week we will be focusing on more collage, digital manipulation of some of the imagery we have produced so far, and then turning our thoughts towards developing ideas and abstracted compositions for our collaborative piece of public art. This will include research into the overlaid letter/number compositions of Jasper Johns and the coloured relief sculptures of Frank Stella.

We will collect in sketchbooks next week for interim assessment and feedback before moving on the public art section of the brief.
