Preparing to submit 1.4

Phew, you have completed your paintings BUT this does not mean you are ready to submit.

There are CRITICAL decisions to be made at this point regarding the layout of your work!

REMEMBER it does not have to be put on the board in the order it was made. YOU need to make decisions-edit, select and order your work- in series that demonstrate how your ideas have changed and developed to make a systematic body of work

Layout your work initially and analyse your work in relation to the following questions.

Does the work look cohesive in terms of colour palette or art conventions?
have you successfully conveyed your Kaupapa?
is your work arranged with your most successful and largest work at the bottom?

If you answer no to any of these or even.. a maybe... then something needs to change.

You may have other work that would be better suited to include so swap some over
You may need to rework some pieces to add elements.
- layering prints, drawing on top, collage or drawing release is a good way to easily brings elements across into works
- Perhaps you need to collage some other works together or cut up parts and rearrange as a grid/cut out shape
or sometimes you just have to make a whole new artwork.

A sustained body of artworks demonstrates that the student has edited, selected, and ordered a finished related series of artwork to communicate an art-making proposition. Related refers to a series of artworks that are connected through thematic, stylistic, and technical approaches to develop ideas in response to an art making proposition.

Single-panel portfolio specifications

• The portfolio consists of ONE A1 (594 × 841mm or approx.) cardboard panel.

• The portfolio is curated in landscape orientation.

• The portfolio is photographed for submission

Working together as a team at this point is really helpful. your classmates will see things in your work that you cant [cant see forest for the trees thing!] so have others look at your work and provide suggestions to others as well.

REMOVE ALL WORK FROM BOARD 1 THAT IS NOT PART OF YOUR 1.4 SUBMISSION

PREPARING YOUR BOARD

OK now that you have edited, selected and ordered your work, time to stick it down well!

Do you need a cleaner or better board? see your teacher to swap out your folio board for a better one if needed. You can also paint over marks with gesso.

Ensure work is firmly attached to your board. blue tack on all corners and in the middle of edges on larger sheets.

If blutack isn't working use a long strip of double sided tape on the top edge and blutack the bottom edge

Make sure you have photographed all panels of your board.

Make sure your name is clearly on the back of the folio [top left of front panel]

Place it where directed by your teacher for marking when everything is attached!
