You'll start by adding writing to each of your digital images. A reminder that you submit 15 digital images for your SI.
Size: Share the size of your work
you must enter the height and width and depth of your work.
Materials: [100 characters]
What materials did you use to create the piece?
Examples of mterials are graphite pencils, acrylic paint, clay, metal, cardboard, found objects etc.
Remember that you're using the writing section to help the viewer better understand your ideas and choices. Your goal is to help the viewer understand how the materials that you choose support your ideas. So you might write, pencil = impermance, acrylic= man made. You dont have to list EVERY material you used in the piece; highlight the materials that most directly demonstrate a connection to your idea. You do not need to write in complete sentences.
Processes: [100 characters]
What processes did you use to create your work? processes are how youused the materials above. If you used acrylic paint, did you pour, drip, or throw the paint? How do the processes you choose to use connect to your idea? Did you use the processes of wet on wet to demonstrate a lack of control? Did you use the collage process to illistarte the passage of time? when writing about processes, youdont need to list every one you used, highlight the ones that well help the viewer better understand your ideas. You can highlight how you used 3D skills .
citations: [100 characters]
citations are not required but are recommended. Use citations to highlight when refrencing images or other sources in your work. Do your best to get the origional source when sharing links. For example if you find an image on pintrest keep clicking until you find the origional website.
Examples of Citations:
If you used an image for insperation
Inspiration: last name of artist, title of work, year, [link to website of image]
if you collected images for collage or reference from books and magazine
Images, text, from multiple sources [ list some sources]
If you used a refrence image from a wwebsite or book
Refrence Image from [ link to the website OR if from a physical book or magazine, name the source]
If you used free or open source images in your work
Free use image from [name of source]
Inquiry & Decision Making
After adding your writing to each digital image, you will also write about your work and approch to your work as a whole. Share more about your ideas, processes, materials, and use of 3D skills in the 2 sections, allowing 600 characters each.
Identify the questions or inquiry that guided your standard investigation [600 characters]. You've been writing down your questions with each piece as you've created them, or at least, I hope you have. You should write what you want first, then begin to edit. Get as close to using all 600 characters as possible. Review section A of the rubric to understand how your writing impacts your score.
Analytic Scoring Rubric Row A: Inquiry
Writing Prompt 1: Identify the question(s) or Inquiry that guided your sustained investigation.
Score 1 (BAD)
Written evidence identifies an inquiry, but visual evidence does not relate to that inquiry. OR written evidence does not identify an inquiry.
Score 2 (Okay)
Written evidence identifies an inquiry that relates to the sustained investigation. AND Visual evidence demonstrates the sustained investigation.
Score 3 (Great)
Written evidence identifies an inquiry that guides the sustained investigation. AND Visual evidence demonstrates the sustained investigation.
Part 1: Insert the questions you've explored (600 characters). Most of you started with an overarching question and then had many that spurred off of that. As you write, help the reader to understand how that guided experimentation and revision.
Example: My sustained investigation started by exploring how global warming impacts animals. Which prompted me to create images 1,4,5. I then asked what it would look like if we reversed global warming, and that guided my experimentation in images 3,8, and 10. In image 4, as I inquired about melting ice caps, I used ice cubes and watercolor, allowing them to melt and create their marks for the foundation of my work.
Be specific:
Include examples: where do we see evidence of your investigation in specific images
Include the terms experimentation, revision, and inquiry
How did your inquiry guide your material and process selection?
Describe how your sustained investigation shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by your question(s) or inquiry. ( 600 characters)
Part 2: As you write this section, the goal is to make it evident to the reader that you practiced, experimented, and revised while creating your work.
Example: 1, my inquiry explored my relationship with my sister by including each sister, revision, and experimentation are demonstrated in images 3 and 4, 7,8 as I worked to adjust the composition and move from portraying each sister literally to showing symbols representing personalities and relationships. 5 I used experimentation with scale and color to further demonstrate how sisters impact personality.
Be specific
Include examples
key terms, like 3D , ceramic or sculpture skills.
Use the terms experimentation, practice, revision, and inquiry
Use numbers instead of writing out the number 2 instead of TWO
Practice using the 6-word story method to write about your work
Are there any words that you can abbreviate? Don't make up abbreviations; only use those that are commonly understood.
You don't have to mention every piece; instead, make sure that you're highlighting critical decisions.
Remove repetitive or overly descriptive words
You've written image 5, remove the phrase image.
Written Evidence
Respond to the two prompts.
Note: your written evidence is limited to 600 characters per response, including spaces.
