Design Brief

§  Your client has not had exposure to the culture you are investigating.  They want to know a few things (listed above), and are wondering what art inspired by your chosen culture might look like.

§  Your client would like to see three final pieces of quality art.  They also want to see how you have made connections between this art and your chosen culture; also how you progressed from your first attempt to your final submission.

§  They want to see a range of techniques used within the final artworks.

§  Your client wants to see evidence from the approaches seen within your classroom:

Problem solving (List solutions, predict, design a better... etc.)

Creative thinking (How is... different to ...? Invent a game, a story, about... etc.)

Critical thinking (Decide, compare, Contrast, calculate, etc.)

§  Things to consider are:

Medium of both the final portfolio and the artwork (Photography, painting, sketching, mixed media, scrapbooking, ICT, printmaking, rubbings, collage).

Influence/style: Tessellations, abstract, portrait, artists, modern/traditional.

Use of colour.

Making connections between words and art in the portfolio.

What information to include in the portfolio.

Reflecting on and justifying the art.

Meaning (of your own art and of the symbols within the target culture).

Present as a portfolio.

Due date 25^th September
