ARCHITECTURE CHECKLIST BEFORE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS...

 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 or more full page precise linear drawing using fine liner. 
• 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.
• A monoprint onto collage image
• An A4 carbon print from a complex London image.
• A set of timed expressive drawings.
• Photocopier experiments with your drawings (inverts, blue prints).
• 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 or more) 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 previous post below for names).
