Year 10

Your Coursework starts here

This is the beginning of your controlled coursework which will be assessed in year 11 and will form 60% of your final grade.

The emphasis this year is on developing your own ideas through research of artists/genres, taking your own photographs in response to your research, experimenting with different techniques and starting to link these together to create a series of final pieces.

In Pairs, choose a piece of coursework to analyse. Can you identify the good practice in these pieces of work? Download the worksheet, screenshot it and place in your sketchbook.

STEP FIVE: Skills workshops
CHOOSE YOUR FIRST 6-8  ARTISTS TO RESEARCH AND RESPOND TO

  • Choose two images that really inspire you from the pinterest board and mood board, research the artists who created them and create a research page on both artists/campaigns depending on the images you have chosen.

  • Plan your first photoshoot and make a list of all the things you will need, props, costume, make up, location etc.

  • If you are stuck, use the workshops below to help you get started. Choose the ones that link to and develop your ideas.

  • You should aim for one workshop per lesson.

Here are some suggestions for you to start you off.

Attempt one workshop each lesson. This can be from your own artist research or from my workshops below. This should consist of a page of artists research, a photoshoot and a series of edits using the artists techniques.

Consider how the objects, colours and patterns are symbolic of the person or environment they are in.
