​YOUR FOLIO MUST INCLUDE

1. EVIDENCE OF STARTING POINTS FOR VISUAL THINKING
The first part of your folio needs to be dedicated to idea generation. You need to ask yourself some questions...

What possible themes could I use for my major pieces? (15 TO 20 MINUTE GROUP TASK)
What am I passionate about and could represent in an artwork? (15 MINUTE INDIVIDUAL TASK + HOMEWORK)
What media and techniques am I good at / or would like to learn to use in my artworks? (15 MINUTE INDIVIDUAL TASK).

Provide evidence of this in your folio with mind maps, brainstorming lists and collections of source materials such as photographs, photocopied pages from books, articles from newspapers, magazines and/or the Internet, Internet downloads and screen shots of videos from sites such as You Tube.

examples of starting points for visual thinking below
Ask me  about this example of how the student used problem solving skills to make the artwork more creative and how that evidence was provided in her folio.

2. EVIDENCE OF YOUR 
CREATIVE THINKING & PROBLEM SOLVING

DOCUMENTATION OF CREATIVE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING NEEDS TO BE EVIDENT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF CREATING YOUR MAJOR PRACTICAL PIECES. THIS IS WHERE YOUR FOLIO BECOMES A JOURNAL AND IT IS VITAL YOU DOCUMENT EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME OF WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT. IT NEEDS TO BE FRESH IN YOUR MIND AND NOT LEFT UNTIL THE END WHEN YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL THE IMPORTANT SPECIFIC DETAILS.

3. EVIDENCE OF YOUR SOURCES OF INSPIRATION AND INFLUENCE

PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF INSPIRATION AND INFLUENCE CAN START WITH THE SACE ART SHOW AND VIEWING PREVIOUS MARK OLIPHANT COLLEGE STUDENT WORK HERE.


https://www.sace.sa.edu.au/news/events/sace-art-show#title#section8

 SOURCES OF INSPIRATION AND INFLUENCE need to INCLUDE:

YOU NEED TO DEDICATE PAGES THROUGHOUT YOUR FOLIO TO DOCUMENT AND ANALYSE OTHER ARTWORKS THAT YOU HAVE DISCOVERED AND USED AS INSPIRATION AND/OR INFLUENCE IN SOME ASPECT OF YOUR ARTWORK INCLUDING THEME, SUBJECT MATTER, TECHNIQUE, STYLE OR SKILL.

4. analysing and comparing works of art

This is where you need to ask yourself and document what artists have done to make their work successful. Analyse their works, compare artists find and document the connections and how they influence your work. This leads onto the what is below.

5. The development of alternative ideas and concepts

Creating an artwork is a journey and you will come up with alternative ideas and concepts all the time. It is ok to change direction and your mind as you go to make your work more creative and visually interesting. It is really important you document these ideas and the process you go through. If you don't do this the moderator won't know how much work you have actually done to create the final piece. YOU MUST DOCUMENT EVERYTHING YOU THINK OF AND DO! IT ALSO MUST BE DONE IN THE MOMENT! Students that leave this documenting and do it at the end are not as successful. This leads to the next thing which is....

6. The evaluation and review of ideas and progress and 7. annotated comment to clarify thinking

practitioners statement

You must prepare two written practitioner’s statements for both of the two resolved practical works you have created.
A practitioner’s statement for your work must include:
·   a description of starting points and influences
·   an explanation of the intended meaning or message of the practical work 
·   an evaluation of your own practical work or works and connections with other practitioners’ work
·   the communication of beliefs, values, or a philosophy about a personal art aesthetic.

what is the moderator looking for in practitioners statements

  • Does your artworks have a personal connection? and/or is it imaginative?
  • Is it evident in your practitioner statement you have really engaged with the idea?
  • Have you got high technical ability? (more evident in actual artworks)
  • Have you really considered the aesthetic of you pieces?

  • Evidence of Conceptualisation
  • Have you written about how you formed your idea?
  • Have you made sophisticated, insightful, judgements on your own work and that of other practitioners?
  • Have you used visual art language to interpret and analyse art from different contexts, to form insightful conclusions?
  • Use Elements of Art and Principles of design to comment on ideas?
  • Have you written about the application and manipulation of the media you have used?
