Panel 1: Setting the Stage
This panel is all about establishing your artistic foundation. It should showcase your initial ideas and explorations inspired by different artists. The work you did in Tūhura and Waihanga will form the heart of this panel.
Think of it as a visual brainstorming session where you've experimented with various styles, subjects, and techniques. You probably won't need to change much here, unless you want to create a stronger connection to Panel 2 by echoing certain colors or motifs.
IF you have time after finishing Panel 2, you can always revisit and refine these initial works.
Arranging Your Work
There are endless ways to arrange your artwork on the board. Feel free to experiment with different layouts, and don't be afraid to change things around as you progress on Panel 2.
What to Look For:
Quality: Select at least four high-quality drawings that demonstrate your skills and ideas.
Connections: Identify subjects or motifs that were revisited in other parts of your portfolio.
Cohesive Palette: Assess if a color palette was developed to tie the work together.
Links to Panel 2: Consider how Panel 1 and 2 were connected through shared styles, themes, or motifs.
A range of sizes -It is perfectly fine to have all your drawings the same size, however, if you want to add interest, try a range of sizes!
A range of media explored -Drawing materials such as pencil, watercolour, ink, permanent marker, charcoal, white pencil, thin acrylic paint
This panel is your opportunity to make a strong first impression and introduce the key ideas and themes you'll explore throughout panel 2.
