1. Use this presentation template to summarise your
Place in Question assignment 2015
The template also introduces most of the units you’ll cover this year through selected criteria.
Up-load the finished PowerPoint to your block via SlideShare.
Each page asks you to reflect upon and evaluate your work since the beginning of
term, for each stage in the project.
Write careful explanations for each outcome (text between 14 & 20 points), and show
how you have covered the parts of the units listed on the page.
Include photos of each outcome to help this process.
Do not describe what you’ve done. Explain it, justify it and make links between
research, experiment and final outcomes.

2. Location studies
Unit 12 (Fine Art)
a. recording of experiences
or information to develop
intentions
What approaches did you use
to examine and record your
location? Representing the
space; details; light etc. How
did you decide and which
worked the best? Why?
b use of materials,
processes and technology
or a combination of
materials, processes and
technology to develop
ideas
What did you learn through
your initial enquiries?
Experiments and techniques,
use of an experimental process
to generate new ideas,
suitability of some rather than
others?
a)
I used many different approaches to
try and record different aspects of
light, space and texture. One of the
best examples is in my initial
sketches where I used a fine liner to
record different textures and use of
light in small scenes. These were
good as they were quick yet
effective ways of recording the
mood of the image as well as vital
details.
b)I learnt that using different media
to represent the same space can
make you see your subject in a very
different way. I learnt this as I was
examining my charcoal piece as I
found it captured a more complex
form and understanding of light
compared to my pencil sketches.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketchbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

3. Location studies
SketchUp and Movie
Multimedia
b) Developing multimedia ideas
by combining the use of
technology processes.

4. Making and
developmental work -
(Large drawing, 3D, print)
Unit 12 (Fine Art)
a. recording of experiences
or information to develop
intentions
What approaches did you use to
examine and record your
location? Representing the
space; details; light etc. How did
you decide and which worked
the best? Why?
b use of materials,
processes and technology or
a combination of materials,
processes and technology to
develop ideas
What did you learn through your
initial enquiries? Experiments
and techniques, use of an
experimental process to
generate new ideas, suitability
of some rather than others?
a)I used 3D to help record the
general shape and form of my area
by creating a card model. By using
simplified objects to represent the
different areas of my zone it
allowed me to gain greater
understanding of the space in the
place in question.
b)I learnt that different tools for the
same media can result in very
different results. I discovered this as
I was experimenting with using ink
for my large illustration. I found that
using a smaller bamboo stick you
drastically effect the qualities of a
line compared to that of a paint
brush or cut wood.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketchbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

5. Using historical and
contemporary
research
Unit 9
Contextual References
a research into
historical and
contemporary work,
showing understanding of
the contexts which
influenced the work .
What have you learned about
the influences on other’s work?
B recording and
presenting information
explaining the use of
visual language in others’
work. Where have you
analysed examples? What did
you learn?
c use of contextual
references in own work
How have you used
references? What impact did
they have on your ideas?
• A)I have learn that many great styles
of illustration feed of each other as in
the case of the Japanese prints and
Chinese paintings as they are
influenced by each other, both
containing a obscure understanding
of distance and scale.
B) I have analysed examples of different
styles of drawing and explained how
each on is unique. From this I learnt
that different styles of drawing are
useful for conveying different
messages and explaining different
scenes
• C)An artist that inspired and directly
related to my work was that of
Lorenzo Ghiberti and his work on the
gates of paradise. My final outcome
was an plaster imitation of his carving
style with certain qualities that I
implemented myself.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

6. Unit 13 (Design)
a) Resolve the needs of
the brief to develop
intentions
How did you develop the
final brief? What client / end
user is it for? Why?
What constraints and
requirements did you
consider?
What research did you
undertake into your chosen
area of creative enquiry?
b) Develop a range of
ideas in response to the
brief.
How did you develop your
ideas for the final outcome?
What techniques did you use
to generate ideas? What
influenced you in doing this?
Developing your
personal brief
a)I filled out a page that would help me
develop a brief and give me a
understanding of what I would like to
produce. After I decided to create a
piece inspired by Lorenzo Ghiberti I had
to consider what materials to use as I
did not have access to the tools and
materials need to create my piece from
bronze. I decided I needed something
softer as i did not have any electronic
or power tools to use on anything
tougher. That is why I picked to use
plaster as I could scratch, stain an carve
with the simple tools at my disposal.
b) I developed ideas for how i would
transfer the patterns and textures from
my pervious work into 3D by
experimenting with drawing different
shapes and aspects of my area and
using a watercolour felt to distinguish
between the high and low areas of the
carve.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketchbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

7. Unit 11 Develop & Produce
Own Ideas
a) Create and develop ideas in
response to the brief.
How did you interpret your
brief? What different
approaches to the same theme
did you explore? What
decisions did you make to
refine your ideas?
b) Plan and produce final
outcome using specialist
working methods and
processes.
How did you decide on the final
outcome? Why was this the
best approach? How did you
choos the techniques you’ve
used? Did they work
effectively?
Developing your
personal brief
a)I approached my idea directly
developing it in its different stages
of production. This allowed me to
run through different potential
adjustments and consideration for
the next step as I create the piece.
b)I decided to create my final
piece the way I did because I was
confident in my ability to replicate
the ideas presented in my plan. I
had also seen and used many of
the technical processes required
to produce such a piece.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketchbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

8. Applying Professional;
practice in your work
Unit 10
Professional Practice
a investigate and analyse
professional practice
Where have you looked at the
working methods and
approaches of others in this
project?
b apply and develop
professional practice in own
work
How did you adopt an approach
from researching the above?
c investigate and apply
health and safety and legal
requirements.
What health & safety risks have
you avoided? How?
d appropriate standards
of professional working
approach
How did you refine and present
your work to a professional
• a)I looked at and artist that inspired me when
painting my self portrait and explored what
different ways he approached his career. I also
researched what path this took him and how
his debates and opinions helped him become
the president of the society of portrait
painters.
• c)During the project I have used many
dangerous appliances such as the bandsaw
fro creating the mould for the plaster brick,
the printing press for creating my print and
the scalpel and guillotine fro constructing my
card model. I also made a animation in after
effects to instruct people of some band saw
safety features.
• d) I have use some different techniques of
displaying my pieces. One such example is in
my video where I use music an different
camera shots, angles and use of shadow to
present my Google sketch up model of my
place in question.
Illustrate (photo’s from sketchbook) and fully explain one example for each criteria. Explain how you have covered the criteria.

9. Unit 8
Personal, Portfolio
Development &
Progression
a personal presentation
and communication skills
b portfolio presentation
techniques How have you
presented your work?
Did you make particular use of
photography or presentation
boards?
How have you considered
clarity of information in your
sketchbooks and boards?
c identifying and
pursuing progression goals
What evidence do you have of
research into progression?
Photos of open days, website
research? What have you
learned so far?
• B) I presented my work
and the steps I took to
produce my work by
showing many pictures of
the pieces in production
complete with annotation
and visual aids. I also
presented my complete
pieces on separate pages
with images of different
areas of the piece taking
into consideration
background and lighting.

10. Evaluation
I have mixed feelings about this project, as when I began I did
not feel overly attached to my subject matter that I was
appointed. Although this later got better as I found different
ways I could portray my place in question and depict areas
using different media and techniques. I enjoyed working on
these pieces and found presenting the processes I when
about to creating to be quite enjoyable as well. Although I did
not enjoy the researching portions of the project I found that
the styles and artists that I did found I took great inspiration
from. I f I where to do this project again I would probably
research a few more artists as I researched quite a few styles
of illustration and drawing but did not fully explore many
sculptors or personally known design practitioners.
Furthermore although I felt quite satisfied with the final
result of my brief I could have considered a few more ways of
presenting this in form of initial ideas or variants.
