WEEK 1

GETTING YOUR YEAR STARTED IN LEVEL THREE PAINTING

WEEK 1

Select a genre from the list provided below– one that you think you might be interested in.

In your journal, create a brainstorm/mind-map/thinking box diagram

You will need to start painting and drawing SOMETHING! To do this choose one of these topics to base your subject matter on for your investigation to start from:

1. Figure/Object/Space
2. The Local Landscape
3. Cultural Identity & Place
4. The Domestic Environment

Set up a google slides document

Share with your teacher, their email is on the board at the front of the classroom. Any physical work you do be sure to photograph as go and insert to your screens as you work. This can be brainstorms, thinking boxes, annotations, sketches, images, paintings, drawings, collages etc etc.

• 4 x slides minimum: Illustrate the ideas from under the headings you have brainstormed.

Use images, drawings, photos, collage, photocopies etc. that illustrate through pictures the main theme you have isolated through your brainstorming ideas. These screens will pictorially help to define your theme and inform your proposal.

• Set up a pinterest board for L3 paint, look for artists from New Zealand and internationally. Look for some from history (you must have one from the Renaissance period ) as well as contemporary artists. Use the list provided here (click here) to help guide your search.

The above images could illustrate what these screens might look like. Use your imagination how you set these up, either physically and photograph - then add text etc or as a digital doc, its up to you. Most important is the gathering of images for your use later to make paintings from. I suggest that individual images you use for your later reference be kept in a safe place like a folder or physical journal.
