Unit 8 Developing an Art and Design Project
This project is designed to provide an opportunity for you
to use the skills, knowledge and understanding developed in the previous units
to respond to the requirements of an art and design project. We have provided the title ‘Cities, People and Places’ and are
planning a trip to London on Friday 28th February to help you gain
primary imagery. For the first few weeks you will work from these photographs
to give you a drawing and mixed media base but then you will be asked to think
up and write your own proposed idea based on your imagery and interests within
this subject matter.

Week 7
and 8 – Finalising outcomes, evaluation and annotation
WEEK 1 -3
In the first week of the project you will be drawing from
photographs of modern architecture around the college before going on a trip to
London to photograph modern architecture, characters and gain a sense of London
as a place. You will be visiting the
skateboard area on the South Bank to capture a sense of people, characters and
the Graffiti area. Take the opportunity to gather interesting viewpoints,
candid shots of people and dynamic sense of place and location. You can take groups of people, modern
architecture, and places of interest.
Once back from your trip you will be generating original 2D
and quick 3D responses to modern architecture from your visit to London. You will develop project outcomes through a
sustained development of imagery gathered from primary sources. You will begin to develop responses using
drawing, painting, collage and quick 3D responses.
Week 4- 8
After a thorough exploration of imagery, you will develop
your investigation further by producing one ambitious outcome. This outcome can
be figurative or abstracted and can be in either 2 or 3 dimensions.
Previous outcomes within this topic have been large scale
paintings, set of prints, fashion garments, illustrations based on lyrics,
graphic posters, 3D models, sculptures, jewellery, photography and
animation. You may wish to use this
opportunity to experiment with the idea of specialist areas you may be
interested in for next year. Throughout the project you will enrich your practical
work with research into relevant modern Architects, and Artists whose work has
been influenced by Architecture
GUIDELINES:
- Ensure you begin the project with a range of high
quality observational drawings. Good line drawings are particularly
valuable as they reproduce well and can be used as a starting point for
more experimental collage and mixed media work.
- Make the most of the trip, it is essential that you
gather a rich and diverse body of imagery from the day. In addition to a
sketchbook and basic drawing materials you will need to bring a camera (if
you do not own one, borrow one or arrange to loan one from college).
- Once you have got your imagery you will need to be
inventive and experimental in developing responses to it. As a group we
will produce some printmaking and collage based images, but we would
encourage you experiment widely with a range of the following
approaches:
Line Drawing
Photocopying
Tonal Drawing
Painting
Integrating Text
Paint Transfer
3D Maquettes
PhotoShop
Photo Montage
Collage
Mixed Media
Acetate Overlays
Monoprinting
Relief (gold card) printing
Film/animation
Sewing
Spray Stencils
Heat transfer
Sewing machine
- Imagery derived from modern Architecture lends
itself towards abstraction, try zooming in on shapes, overlaying them,
repeating and rotating them to develop interesting compositions.
- Be thoughtful in your use of colour, subtle neutral
colours can be very effective, and may be more in keeping with your
Architectural sources.
- Once you find an approach/idea that has potential
you need to explore it thoroughly in a range of studies before attempting
to resolve it in a final piece.
