How many weeks till your exhibition?

Studio Practice
Looking forwards to September check what date you have your exhibition booked. Work out how many weeks this is and block it in on your year planner. You should have just on six months till you have to be in the gallery hanging your exhibition, giving you an average of 24 weeks of work time to get this done. It is very important you don't wast this time, the deadline will come much faster than you think, artworks take time to be realised to their full potential. As we have often discussed it is through the journey and the process that the best work is made.
- Refer to your planner sheets and block in your pieces over the next weeks in your year planner/calendars
- See your teacher for any tuition you need for specific works
- Be sure you have the materials needed to make your artworks, see your teacher to be sure you can order what you need in time for when you have scheduled to make the work.
- Be in the studio at all available times to make your artwork, remember we finish Art way before any other subjects, so give your art the time it requires it is important.
The Exhibition!
The Exhibition!
So have a good read of the below criteria, this is what you are marked on, now is the time to look at the body of work you are working through and make a plan that can clearly articulate the below criteria.

Visual Art Journal
Visual Art Journal
Be very sure to never forget to record all your working. Photograph everything you do as you do it. You must do a minimum requirement of two VAJ pages per studio piece.
- Photograph and annotate your process
- Reference your Artist Models
- Reference all images used underneath each image on every page
- Discuss the GPC- Global perspective, cultural perspective and the personal perspective for each page/piece/concept etc
Going beyond the initial ideas
Going beyond the initial ideas
IB Art students often move too quickly from one idea to the next and the challenge lies in slowing down enough to go beyond first response, beyond the obvious. To develop bigger ideas you need to experiment freely, then investigate thoughtfully, then make something intentionally, then reflect, review, refine.... .
- Experiment freely
- Investigate deeply
- Create intentionally
- Reflect critically
You need to keep a clear and correctly referenced list of sources page for your Visual Arts Journal, which becomes your Process Portfolio later for external assessment. This is exactly the same process as your Comparative Study. Your journal's written components must be able to be put through turn it in, so we will require a soft copy (word doc is fine) of your PP before you hand in your final to check for similarities to sources.
