Architecture Checklist

Leah Foulds - Digital Collage

So to recap on what you should have before you embark on development/realisation of your project outcomes:

• A selection of photos from the College Architecture, print contact sheets of your shoot and include the best shots printed out at A4 or A5 scale.
• At least one full page sustained careful pencil tonal drawing from your College photos (this should represent at least 3 hours work). 
• Minimum of one full page precise linear drawing using fine liner. 
• A set of timed expressive drawings.
• Photocopier experiments with your drawings (inverts, blueprints).
• A Gold Card print based on your College photos.
• At least 4 pages of research into 2 contemporary Architects (see the project brief below for names). Include background information and analysis of some specific buildings/projects. Discuss materials, aesthetics (form) and function. Include good reproductions of the Architect's work and take care over presentation.
• Contact sheets of your London Photographs.
• A range of your best London shots at A5 or A4 included in your sketchbook.
• At least one A4/A3 sustained and detailed monoprint based on a London photograph.
• A detailed A3 Gold Card based on London, cut and printed.
• An A4 carbon print from a complex London image.
• Research into at least one Artist who uses paper engineering in their work, references here http://weburbanist.com/2008/12/02/papercraft-creative-paper-art-design-sculpture/
• "Paper City" photos - include contact sheets and larger versions of your best shots.
• Produce a range of mixed media Collages (4-6) making use of the bank of Architecture based printing, drawing and photography you have accumulated and adding paint, coloured papers, acetate overlays, text etc.
• 2 pages of research into one Collage/mixed media Artist (see post below for names).
