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?
Is there clear series of work that develop and change?
have you successfully conveyed your Kaupapa?
is there evidence of Artist models across the works?
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 body of work is defined as individual related works.
A systematic body of work is defined as individual, related works that form a series or sequence to show generation and development within the art-making process. This involves editing, selecting and ordering work.
Established practice refers to works by artists that are recognised as belonging to a particular genre, style, convention, or way of working.
Informed by established practice refers to the investigation of solutions found in past and contemporary practice.
Media refers to paint, pencil, ink, collage, charcoal, pastel, photographic, and digital media.
Control refers to the ability to use media according to an art-making intention.
Fluency refers to the ability to comprehensively manage the production of work.
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.
Use your digital folio to rearrange - working in a digital format also allows your brain to see things differently..
Place it back in the folio shelves for marking when everything is attached!
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.
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]
