This document provides guidance for a student to summarize their work from Units 1 and 2 of an art and design course. It instructs the student to create a PowerPoint presentation with 10-12 slides showcasing their work and how it meets the assessment criteria. These include using primary and secondary sources, examples of formal elements, techniques used with materials, and health and safety practices. The final slide involves an evaluation of the project and suggestions for improvement if the project was repeated.

1. Equivalents Unit Coverage: Unit 1 & Unit 2
This project is about working from direct observation, thinking and exploring the
world around us. You have used drawing to analyse, develop skills and to
communicate ideas.
You have used a wide range of two and three dimensional materials and
processes. Through using an experimental approach you are learning the
creative process to generate new ideas
The following slides are a template to use in order to summarise your work, which
should include information and images of your work produced for this
assignment.
Present the Powerpoint slides on your blog using ‘Slideshare’.
Information of how to embed Slideshare in your blog can be found in the toolkit
on the Art & design website. Here is the link
https://college.esher.ac.uk/subjects/Art_Design/Pages/Embed-SlideShare.aspx
**Use the following slides (nos. 3-12) to summarise the work you have produced -
show how you have met the assessment criteria**

2. Equivalents Unit Coverage: Unit 1 & Unit 2
The assignment is designed to produced opportunities to produce evidence for these units
Unit 1:
2D 3D Visual Language
You need to produce work, which
demonstrates development of skills and
creativity in using visual language
The work should be organised and
annotated to show your evaluative skills
and development over time. Also
experimentation with mark-making and
object-making techniques, formal
elements and sources.
Evidence should be from contextual
studies, developmental and/or final
project work
Unit 2:
Materials, Techniques and Processes
Produce work, which
demonstrates your understanding
of skills in using media, materials,
techniques, processes and
associated technology. This should
include; samples, trials, notes,
records and exploratory project
work

4. Slide 2 – Primary and Secondary sources
Assessment criteria:
Examples of ‘primary and
secondary sources with a
description of how others
have used visual language
in their work’
This is an example of a
still life that I did a
drawing from. This is a
primary source because
I drew straight from the
objects in front of me.
This normally means
one can create a more
accurate study if the
still life as opposed to
copying from a
photograph or another
persons work.
This photo is from a
page of artist research
in my book of J.M.W.
Turner. At the top of
the page is his original
work of a landscape, I
have done a study of
that work and copied
his landscape making
it a secondary source.

5. Slide 3 – Examples of formal elements in my work
This print is a good example of re-creating
texture because we had
to look at various objects and
materials and the texture they
have to try and make them
similar to the original still life.
This sculpture shows the formal elements in the way
of shape and 3D form. I made this sculpture based
on my print and focused on the shapes and how
they could be made 3D again rather than the
texture of the objects. I did later, however, do
another sculpture in card board which combine the
formal elements of 3D shape and texture together.

6. Slide 4 - add your own title here
Assessment criteria: An example and
commentary of how you have used visual
language in your work and how it has been
influenced by others’ work.
Examples: Homework research and studies
produced such as ‘in the style of…painting,
collage work, sculpture research and
development, cubism, photography
The drawings on this page
are from a secondary source
because the original is
already a drawing from
observation. Durer has used
the visual language of
smooth tones and textures
to reflect the surface of the
skin and the light that would
be on it.

7. Slide 5 – Techniques
Assessment criteria: Examples where you have
worked with a range of techniques with
information describing the characteristics of
materials you have used
Examples: Use of mixed media, use of colour,
painting, collage, models, 3D experiments in the
workshop. Homework studies

8. Slide 6 – Health and safety
In the workshop there are various machines and setups that can be potentially very dangerous. The main
rules of the workshop is to wear an apron and goggles when using most of the machinery, there is also no
running eating or drinking allowed. There is also other precautions that should be taken before starting to use
some of the machines around the workshop. For instance the spot soldering iron machine requires you to war
gloves so you aren’t at risk of burning yourself. You must also be careful using sanding machines and keep
whatever you are sanding flat so it does not get caught and fly out your hand.
There are also health and safety rules around the art room. For example the printing press, you have to be
careful not to turn it too much so the table does not fall out of the press. It is also important not to get your
fingers caught in the press because it will crush them. There is also basic safety like clearing up spilt paints or
water and not wasting any of the resources provided by the art room.

9. Evaluation
This project was to try lots of different techniques of creating similar objects of
still life. I feel the general project went well but it was definitely difficult and
more work than I expected because of the move from GCSE to A-level. I think if I
did this project again I wold be more organised in the way I approached it with
better recording of what I have done and more experiments of what I might do.
My use of language was influenced positively when looking at other artists work,
making studies od their work and doing research. However, some if the visual
language used in my other pieces could be improved, for example my print that I
did from making a printing plate. I fell this print and printing plate was too
inaccurate to the still life it was based on and the textures especially were to
different and irregular.
I enjoyed the varied use of materials throughout my project and I feel they
showed I good variety of skill and potential. On the other hand, works like my
paper sculpture and my acrylic paintings based on still life could be improved
and done with more care, they were rushed and not as god as I would have like
and if I was to re-do my paper sculpture then I would vase it of I different part of
my print or different objects from still life.
Overall, I think I could do better in the next project and if I re-did the project I
could improve it a lot by taking a different approach and making my pieces more
accurate.
