2.4 / 3.4

You can keep working with your same artist models from 2.2/3.2 to develop your first series (look at more examples of their work online, select and print, glue in visual diary. To develop, extend, clarify, regenerate your ideas it is recommended that you combine artist model 1 and 2 conventions. Or you could select a different artist model(s) and conventions per related series of ideas. 

Please look at useful guides below:

PAINTING 

• Photocopy your work to date and with your Teacher, arrange and blue tac on board. 

• Have examples of artist model work printed: Identify the key features of the artist's conventions

• Have reference photographs/images printed. 

• Use conventions: conceptual, compositional and technical conventions of your selected artist model and create compositional sketches to plan next series.

Note: If your subject is portraiture or figurative: consider expressions of your models for example and photograph them or find reference material that is actually of someone screaming if that's what your idea represents, plus other expressions that develop your theme. 

• Use an advanced and cohesive colour palette to support your theme / mood.

• Consider various formats per related series

• You can decide formats by taking measurements from folio board. You can also work large scale and photograph your work to present on folio. Firstly prepare your backgrounds for the series and work in a layered approach starting with ground layers, instead of working on a white canvas.  Try working on 2-3 related series of works at a time.

SCULPTURE

• Open a folio page in Photoshop: Just under A1 dimensions 59.4 x 82 cm (so you can print the whole page for folio presentation at Warehouse Stationary $17/panel).

• Make any further adjustments to photographs from finals of 2.2/3.2. Add rulers to create a 1cm boarder. Arrange series of finals. Print and blue tac on board.

• Have examples of artist model work printed: Identify the key features of the artist's conventions

• Use conventions: conceptual, compositional and technical conventions of your selected artist model and create compositional sketches to plan next series.

Planning Considerations: Conventions

• Materials: clay, polystyrene, wire, papier-mâché, paper, textiles, paint etc.

• Processes:  Found Object, Casting, Multiples, Wrapping, Performance etc.

• Consider using an advanced and cohesive colour palette to support your theme.

• Document process of making the work by photographing stages. Photograph sculpture from at least 3 different viewpoints and closeups in an environment, or photograph against a white surface, or on a plinth, or photomontage into photographed environment e.g. gallery room, nature etc.

• Consider various formats for presentation of different perspectives of sculpture series. 

• Post photographic production using Photoshop: cropping presents, black and white, selective colour, saturation, polygonal tool, contrast, exposure, photomontage, physical manipulation of image etc.
