Hi cool cats,
Hope you are all well and coping at home and managing to complete work.
I know a few of you have not been in touch with your tutors recently, please can you email them and let them know how you are getting on.
I am missing teaching so much, I have been training up my cat Lexie to paint.....you can take the teacher out of school but you can't take school out of the teacher!
So far she's finished 3 paintings and has 4 more on the way!
We have been getting lots of work from most of you which is fantastic. James, Erin and myself are really impressed with what you have been producing at home and very excited about your ideas and how you have taken on board our advice and shown real independence, which will put you in good stead for University and working life.
Whilst we are still waiting for clarification from the exam board about your work and marking, we feel that you need to submit everything to your mock piece, so we can mark it up to this point. Everything you have produced, will be marked!
The plan for your Art Foundation work over the next 2 weeks is as follows;-
This week you will need to focus a mock piece (some of you are working on your final, will continue to do so, as you have already done a mock). You will have until Monday am to do this.
If you are unable (for example 3d design) to actually produce a mock piece as you don't have the equipment/facilities to do so you will not be penalised. You will produce a thorough design sheet with a detail drawing from front and above elevations, scale measurements, materials list (hand or digital) and an explanation.
You will then need to evaluate and explain what you would intent to change and produce for your final. A drawing of this will help too.
*This will then also be copied into your last box on your exam board statement of intent form....Which will then be completed.*
I don't think you will need to produce a final piece for this unit, but you can still do this if you are able, for professional development. It will also be good to carry your project through to completion, if you are able too.
By Tuesday 28/4/2020 1pm you will need to send your tutor the following by One drive or Wetransfer to mark,
1-Photographs of all your previous sketchbook and sheet work.
2-Any design sheets/journal/electronic work since remote learning up to mock piece and evaluation.
3-Exam board paperwork statement of intention completed.
****This is really important as it will form the basis of your Art Foundation grade this year***
If we hear anything new/different from the exam board, we will let you know asap.
Looking forward to marking your work.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact myself, James or Erin and we will give you any further guidance or help.
