Achievement Standard 91452 v2 Photography (3.3 - 4 credits) - Internal
Systematically clarify ideas using drawing informed by established photography practice.
Achievement Standard 91457 v2 Photography (3.4 - 14 Credits) - External
Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within Photography practice.
WELCOME TO YEAR 13 PHOTOGRAPHY!
This year you will be completing an internal (4 credits) and an external (14 credits) to earn a total of 18 credits. We will start the year getting straight into planning your folio boards. You will have 3 folio boards alongside a digital workbook to complete this year.
3.3 Internal - 4 credits
The 3.3 internal is designed to help support you clarify, extend, and regenerate your ideas for your chosen folio topic/theme. Specifically focusing on the use of established practice (artist models) and how you have used them to inspire your own photography practice. The workbook will be completed alongside your 3.4 so you have written evidence of your thought process and research sources.
3.4 External - 14 credits
At the end of the school year, you will have completed 3 finished photographic boards that explore photographic conventions and idea development through the support of established practice and experimentation. You will explore a theme or idea of your choice - with guidance from your teacher. Your 3 boards should read like a book and make sure all ideas, themes, and visual aesthetics are cohesive and flow well to achieve the requirements of 'clarify', 'extend', and 'regenerate'. You will continue your 3.3 workbook throughout the completion of your boards to demonstrate your understanding of techniques, methods, and ideas of your artist models and to support your research development.
YOUR OUTCOME:
GOOGLE SLIDES VISUAL DIARY SHOWING ARTIST MODELS, RESEARCH, EXPERIMENTATION, EVALUATION, PHOTOSHOOTS, & CONTACT SHEETS (3.3)
Art Portfolio - x3 A1 Art Boards (3.4)
Genre: A style or category of Art, Music, or Literature.
Still Life / Documentary / Landscape / Narrative etc
Theme: In Art, theme is usually about life, society or human nature, but can be any other subject. Themes are fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a work. Themes are usually implied rather than explicitly stated.
Subject Matter: The subject matter is the main idea presented in a piece of art. Usually, an idea that was taken from the mind of the artist and translated into a visual representation of a thought, feeling, emotion, etc. Subject matter is what you are taking photos of.
Some Ideas to think about:
Nature: landscapes, wildlife, plants, and flowers,
Cityscapes and architecture: urban environments, buildings, and landmarks,
People: portraits, street photography, and candid moments,
Animals: pets, wildlife, and farm animals,
Food: dishes, ingredients, and still lifes,
Sports and action: fast-paced events, athletes in motion, and extreme sports,
Abstract and creative: patterns, textures, and experimental compositions.
Narrative: Children's story books, fantasy, romance, horror, world events
TASK 1
TASK 1
Mind Map
Mind Map
On a page in your book (1x A4 pages) or using the paper provided, create a mind map that explores ideas, questions, current events, subject matter etc. It can include anything! Do not limit your mind map at this stage. We will do one in class together to get underway.
Once you have got a full page of mind mapping, begin to circle different words/parts that stand out to you as having potential. Try to expand further off of the ideas that stand out to you so that you can build a great foundation of development.
Bounce ideas off of your peers
1x A4 page / 1x Slide in your visual diary
Task 2
Task 2
Proposal
Proposal
You are to describe what your theme is going to be for the rest of the year, why you have chosen this and what your subject matter is. At this stage you can begin to think about genre too. You are expected to be constantly researching your theme. To begin with, write what your theme means to you, or find articles that talk about your theme. This will be information that will help you to focus on your investigation into your theme.
We will go through in class 'how to write an art proposal' and do some exercises to help get you started.
Once finished, we will work in small groups to discuss our ideas and provide feedback and feedforward.
This should be a small paragraph to go in your slides.
Task 3
Task 3
Mood Board
Mood Board
Most mood boards are a visual collection of different images and phrases - but you can also expand it to include colour palettes, fabric, textures, and even small objects you find from around the house! This mood board will help inform your photo shoots and develop your theme.
Create 1x Slide mood board in your visual diary
Task 4: Research
Task 4: Research
Theme Research
1. Research your chosen theme and gather as much information as you can to support your ideas. Some ideas to get you started is
General information and facts
Relevant colour palettes
Symbolism
Artist Model Research
2. Find at least 3 artist models for inspiration and to support your creative ideas to allow for maximum development throughout your work. You should have at least one artist model per board, but it is encouraged you look at a range of 3-6 artist models to gather information and inspo from. Some info to gather is:
What is their method of working? (EG: what art techniques do they use, how do they exhibit their work, is there alot of set up before they photograph?)
What inspires the artist? What is their purpose for art-making?
Visual characteristics of their work? What makes this artist unique and distinguishable from other artists? Do they focus on a particular convention you can identify?
What aspects of their work will you implement into your own? How will this benefit your own style and ideas?
Why have you chosen to use this artist model?
You DO NOT need to include personal information about the artist model. Don't waste your time writing about where they come from or where they studied at University for example. We are only looking for research and analysis about the artists work ONLY.
Task 5: Planning your photoshoots
Task 5: Planning your photoshoots
Plan your photoshoots with reference images and ideas relating to your artist models. Write a check list of photos you want to capture, your schedule, and anything you may need for the shoot
What time and where will you be doing your photoshoot?
What is your subject matter? (EG: flowers, model, landscape...)
Do you need any props? If so, write a list of props you will need
What relevant research will you be using to propel your work? Artist models, concepts, symbolism...
After your first photoshoot, you should also consider how you will extend your ideas from your previous shoot and develop off of your previous ideas. This will ensure you are constantly thinking about idea generation and development of your ideas.
Task 6: evaluation + contact sheets
Task 6: evaluation + contact sheets
Upload your contact sheets after each photoshoot and write an evaluation on how your shoot went, use some the questions below to help you:
What went well? (EG: Conventions, model, outcome of photos, use of artist model)
What didn't go well?
What did you learn?
How well did this shoot link to your previous shoot? Was development/extension of ideas successful? (EG: In my last shoot I focused on just the objects and this time I brought my model and the objects together.)
How well did this shoot link to your theme?
REPEAT TASK 4-6 AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH PHOTOGRAPHS FOR 3 BOARDS, HAVE USED ALL OF YOUR ARTIST MODELS SUFFICIENTLY, AND EXTENDED YOUR IDEAS SUCCESSFULLY.
REPEAT TASK 4-6 AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH PHOTOGRAPHS FOR 3 BOARDS, HAVE USED ALL OF YOUR ARTIST MODELS SUFFICIENTLY, AND EXTENDED YOUR IDEAS SUCCESSFULLY.
Task 7: Experimentation and exploration
Task 7: Experimentation and exploration
It is highly encouraged that students explore methods outside of traditional photography to push the boundaries of ideas and expand creative thinking. Refer to the slides below for some inspiration on how you can experiment with digital and physical methods of manipulation.
Include evidence of successful and unsuccessful attempts at experimentation in your workbook. Even if it is not related to your chosen theme, or you decide not to use it on your boards, it is still important to provide evidence.
YOUR GOOGLE SLIDES MUST INCLUDE:
Research of your theme - general information, subject matter, symbolism...
Analysis of at least 3 artist models
What influences you are taking from their work

Explanatory Notes: 3.3 - 91452 v2
Systematically clarify ideas involves analysing, reflecting on, and further developing concepts, subject matter, problems or situations in drawings informed by established practice.
Systematically extend ideas involves critically analysing, evaluating, and further developing concepts, subject matter, problems or situations, in drawings informed by established practice.
Systematically regenerate ideas involves critically analysing, evaluating, and revisiting concepts, subject matter, problems or situations from the student’s previous artwork in order to re-form and extend ideas into new drawings informed by established practice.
Drawing is an ongoing decision-making process that enables a continuum to be established and maintained. Aspects of drawing are also identifiable in finished work.
Systematically refers to the manner in which related artworks form a series or sequence to show generation, development, progression and understanding of ideas within the art making process.
Established practice refers to works by artists that are recognised as belonging to a particular genre, style, convention, or way of working. The investigation of solutions found in established practice involves past and contemporary artworks.
Informed by established photography practice refers to referencing and demonstrating understanding of the particular characteristics and constraints of established practice.
Explanatory Notes: 3.4 - 91457 v2
Explanatory Notes: 3.4 - 91457 v2
Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas involves bringing conventions together to revisit ideas from the student’s previous work in order to re-form and extend ideas into new work.
Produce a systematic body of work that purposefully integrates conventions and regenerates particular ideas involves the informed selection and considered combination of particular conventions to select, revisit and refine ideas from the student’s previous work in order to re-form and extend ideas into new work and achieve an intended outcome.
Produce a systematic body of work that synthesises conventions and regenerates a depth of ideas involves bringing together critically selected ideas and methods from different sources to integrate the conventions and to critically revisit and refine ideas from the student’s previous work in order to re-form and provide options for the extension of ideas into new work and achieve an intended outcome.
A systematic body of work refers to related works that form a series or sequence to show generation and development within the art making process. Development involves editing, selection, and ordering of work.
Conventions refer to the characteristics and constraints applicable and fitting to the field.
