1. AO3 - Brainstorm the starting pointEFFECTS OF LIGHT

Impressionist painters were inspired by how the effects of light changed the appearance of their subjects. More recently, artists Susan Derges and Garry Fabian Miller have exploited the effects of light to create camera-less photographs, and filmmaker Tacita Dean has explored the unique effects of projected light.Research appropriate sources and create your own work in response to Effects of Light

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

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

ImpressionismTaking their name from Claude Monet's 'Impression, Sunrise', the Impressionists were established in Paris during the 1870's.

A diverse group of painters, rejected by the art establishment, defiantly set up their own exhibition. They included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas.

Landscapes, and scenes from modern urban and suburban life painted in bright, pure colours are typical. Impressionists often began (and sometimes completed) their paintings outdoors rather in a studio. Their rapidly applied brushstrokes are often visible.

3. AO3 - Early intentions and ideas

Process

Content

Meaning

Purpose

CLOSE -UPTOP 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 investigate

4. AO3 - Primary and Secondary RecordingYou 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 intentions

Observational drawing

Success Criteria:-Quality tonal shading-High contrast- Interesting and unusual compositions- Zooming in and cropping-Dramatic lighting

Photography

Success Criteria:-Interesting and unusual compositions-Appropriate themes- Zooming in and cropping- dramatic lighting

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?

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 techniques

TOP TIP:Use materials that you have used before and are confident with!

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

7. AO4 – Final Design

CONTENT PROCESS

MEANINGPURPOSE

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..

(GRADE A / A*)A highly developed ability to present an imaginative, personal, informed and meaningful response when realising intentions.
