Term  2  

 

 

How  will  I  be  assessed?      Term  1  work  and  e-­‐portfolio  40%  You  will  be  creating  an  e-­‐portfolio  for  the  duration  of  this  topic  via  wordpress.com.  An  e-­‐portfolio  is  a  digital  a  collection  of  your  drawings,  thoughts,  investigations,  discoveries,  dreams  and  reflections.  It  records  your  processing  and  problem  solving  and  is  often  the  source  of  new  inspiration.  Your  e-­‐portfolio  is  as  much  a  visual  record  as  it  is  a  written  exercise...so  please  include  as  many  photos,  sketches,  drawings,  images  and  colours  as  you  wish,  but  don’t  forget  to  record  your  thoughts  and  feelings  about  the  images  you  find  or  create.      Your  weekly  notes  from  class  discussions  and  art  movement  explorations,  combined  with  your  own  self-­‐directed  research  will  help  you  develop  ideas  for  your  final,  major  self  portrait.  Your  self-­‐directed  research  can  be  routinely  presented  on  the  class  blog  to  your  peers  as  an  opportunity  to  share  what  you  have  discovered  or  feel  passionate  about.     Experimental  Exploration  of  the  Human  Essence  20%  This  is  an  experimental  piece  providing  an  opportunity  to  explore  your  deeper  self,  using  Rosemary  Valadon  ‘Goddess’  series  as  inspiration.  This  can  be  a  drawing  or  a  combination  of  drawing  collage,  montage,  photography.  Size  to  be  A3  or  A2  by  negotiation.  Self-­‐assessment  and  peer  assessment  will  inform  your  grade  in  part.    Large  Self  Portrait  30%  A  self-­‐portrait  of  an  imposing  size  (600mm  x  900mm)  using  either  charcoal  (natural  or  compressed),  charcoal  pencils  or  conté  pencils.  Self-­‐assessment  and  peer  assessment  will  inform  your  grade.    Attitude  and  Effort  10%  In  art  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a  mistake,  it  is  a  part  of  a  journey...perhaps  not  an  intended  part  but  nonetheless  a  valid  part.  We  learn  and  are  most  creative  in  a  supportive  and  encouraging  environment  and  therefore  it  is  expected  that  you  enter  the  environment  with  the  intention  to  actively  participate,  and  that  you  are  self-­‐motivated,  sensitive,  supportive  and  respectful  of  yourself  and  peers.
