Information Overload for your Summer!

Following on from the talk we gave this morning about the Summer Holiday "Design Diary" work and writing your personal statement for UCAS, here is the information you will need. 
Firstly a link to the Art and Design Personal Statement Area of Moodle
this covers loads of essential information in word documents such as:


And here is the Design Diary brief, below you will find the Gallery Links Document and suggested research Artists for each specialism:



BTEC 1ST YR EX. DIP. IN ART AND DESIGN

DESIGN DIARY SUMMER PROJECT
        

Rationale:

This project gives you the opportunity to research, analyse and collate historical and contemporary information in inventive ways.  It is an ongoing project that can be added to at a later date and something that will be taken to interview to show you are aware of the history of your specialist area.
Aim:

  1. From the list below pick 3 artists or designers from your chosen specialist area ( this means one area do not mix them).  Answer the question 1-10.  Present this written work within your design diary.  Produce 15 A4 pages showing a coherent analysis of this work.  Inventively present this creating an appropriate format.  Comments should be in as much detail as possible and have the analysis and evaluation of an essay.  Make your own responses to this work within 2 responses to each artist/designer 6 in all.  Spend time on these trying to create these to look as professional as possible.  Use manual or digital ways of working to create

  1. Additionally visit a London show within your specialism.   See a show that interests you and annotate your thoughts about this, respond to this artists within a series of pieces.( at least 3)

Try to answer the following  questions.  If you cannot find out the answers to these easily try being creative, try emailing the artist/ institution that represents them or using face book, or following a blog to discuss etc to gain information on them.  The amount of information you can find on a practitioner may have a bearing on who you choose.  Research before you decide who to do  :-

  1. Find out as much information on them as possible.  Place the artists\designers or artwork historically.  Find out where they trained and what jobs, commissions they have had  etc .   What is their background?

  1. What is their work like?  How would you describe it?    What techniques or processes do you think they use and what exactly makes them so successful do you think?

  1. Who do you think has influenced them and what is their work like?   Have things such as - politics, music, fashion, changes in materials or technology processes had an effect? Can you show influences and compare or contrast these similarilties together?   

  1. What themes or ideas are in their work . How do these artists\designers  communicate messages or meaning within their work?  What logos, slogans, visual imagery or markmaking do they utilise to produce their work?

  1. Who are some of the clients they have worked for?  Can you document this work and give examples of large and small commissions/ jobs they have covered?

  1. Give evidence of quotes, opinions and comments from other people if available .  These may be from catalogues, newspaper cuttings, websites, TV programmes, blogs, face book etc.  The more variety of information, the more interesting your diary.  They may lead you to look at other artists whose work you like.  You will probably have to dig around to get this and anticipate this will take time - be persistent.

  1. Why have you chosen these artists\designers to analyse?  What relevance does their work have on your own interests?  Do you use similar techniques etc or do  the concepts/ideas they promote appeal to you? Why are you so attracted to this work?  Is it that you find the markmaking original, messages in adverts inventive, appreciate the form and structure of a sculpture etc.?  Please elaborate as much as possible.

  1. Pinpoint at least 1 piece of work that your artists\designers are known for.  Document this in detail and analyse why you think this work has become famous.  Is it challenging conventions?  How exactly?  Is it deliberately provocative i.e. Tracy Ermin’s bed

  1. What materials, processes and technology have they adopted that have shaped their ideas and given the work a distinctive style.

  1. Produce a whole series of responses to the designers you have looked at (minimum 6, 2 for each artist/designer) by making samples, tryouts, drawings, typography in the style of this work to show your interests.  Present this in an appropriate way next to your analysis.


Presentation:

Within the presentation of your selected work you should concentrate on good page layout, effective composition, choice of colour and materials.  You may present your thoughts Atin any way you wish as long as it complements and reflects the topic.  Images should be varied in the way they are presented, some photocopied, some hand-drawn.  Assemble your text and image and be prepared to move items around until you get a balanced composition.

Do:        
  • Type out your opinion on paper, put acetate over the top of images to layer them.
  • Combine an image and text effectively, varying scale, surface and repetitive effects.
  • Print out good quality images on glossy photo print paper.
  • Title things accurately and consistently giving dates and media.
  • Analyse intelligently and articulately (this may take practice and mean rewriting ideas in rough first).
  • Give your opinions backed up with others’ quotes and comments - put quotes in inverted commas (i.e. “.....”).
  • Assemble images and related works so that the explanation is related rather than arbitrary.
  • Consider - cutting, tearing, photocopying onto acetate overlaying, using Lettraset, painting, scratching on to images, varnishing, using fold outs, tracing paper sections overtyped text, collage, photographs - Polaroids, digital print-outs, etc.
  • Use Pritt Stick or another card and paper glue to stick things down that won’t buckle your images.

Don’t:
§  use illegible fonts because it looks a bit different, keep it simple.
§  use felt pen in handwriting over images.
§  use paint straight out from the pot without mixing it and thick textured paint over everything.
§  use tissue paper in large quantities without trying to transform this banal material.
§  use PVA to stick anything down as it makes everything wrinkled.
§  slant images on the page.
§  sponge, glitter and double mount.
§  print out others’ opinions and presenting them as your own.
§  try to make the presentation so busy that the written text is illegible - this is not what is required.
§  download information on artists and stick this into your sketchbook. Instant referral!

Minimum Submission Requirements:

·      15 x A3/A4 sides of  your  existing design diary documenting 3 artists\designers on the list below.   This should include at least 6, in all,  sustained visual responses to the artists/ designers you have looked at.

·      Evidence within your sketchbook that you have made the effort to go up to London and visit a National Exhibition i.e. notes, postcards, leaflets, tickets, photography, etc with comments and annotations and 3 visual responses to this show.

 Submission Deadline:           

First day back at College when books will be submitted for marking, you will be expected to talk about your efforts within a group crit. and discuss your ideas.  Make sure you allow yourself enough time to complete this project.  Start it early, don’t leave it until the last minute.
