FINAL OUTCOMES ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

 3D Book Illustration 

Project Outcomes:

As you complete the Collage stage you should start thinking ahead towards planning your project outcome. The format of this is entirely down to you, it just needs to be inspired and visually informed by Modern Architecture.

In the past we've had paintings, large scale mixed media work, sculpture, series of prints, animations, graphic magazines, books of illustrations, garments, jewellery!

It makes sense to produce an outcome in the area you intend to specialise in next year (if you know what this will be) as this will be of more value to your portfolio for application to Higher Education. The piece might be an extension of things we have already tackled in the project (a more ambitious collage or drawing for example) or it might explore an altogether different creative area.

There should be clear planning for your final piece in your sketchbook, so this means both annotation and imagery outlining your intentions. The nature of the imagery will depend on what you are planning, but it could take the form of painted studies, fashion illustrations, trial page layouts, photos of 3D maquettes or many other things.

Everyone should make sure they have the following in their sketchbooks:

• 2 Mood-boards containing:

ideas of things to inspire you - artists' work, things within design that show  techniques and construction methods you aspire to
Information on the techniques that you will need-  colours, swatches, and ideas of techniques and possible processes to use.

You should be aiming to complete this planning (over several sketchbook pages) over the next few lessons, so that we are ready to start working on project outcomes in earnest on Monday. If you have particular material requirements for your final piece (e.g. Canvases, fabric for garments)You will need to speak to technicians then you will need to talk to them today.  Start organizing all  these things now.  It is your responsibility to make sure your project get's off to the easiest, most productive start. 

As you begin work on outcomes next week remember to record your progress so you can include photos and imagery of the creative journey you take with this piece. A diary of make is essential.
