External Brief - Kingsmead School

After some initial discussions and meetings it has been agreed for me to attend Kingsmead School, Hednesford, to complete my external brief working on a voluntary basis within the Art Department. I will primarily engage with a student named Tom to aid him in completing  his Double Art Award. Here is a brief description of the Project Brief. 

Project Brief for Unit 4/5

Unit 4 – Working in 2D

Unit 5 – Working in 3D

GCE Applied Year -  Double Award

Overview

This unit will enable you to develop 2D skills through one or more specialist areas of your choice. These specialist areas share many media and techniques in common, but tend to differ in the purposes for which images are used. Specialisms may include Painting and drawing, fine-art printmaking, experimental photography, moving images, mixed media, fashion or textiles. 

You will develop a body of work based on the theme of ‘Groups and Gatherings’. This may be crowds and congregations of people, coming together for purpose.

Artists, designers and craft workers use investigation as part of the creative process in order to help develop their ideas and produce outcomes. This investigative work will inform your ideas. Artists, designers and craft workers can use a wide range of media, materials, tools and equipment to develop and create their work. To help develop your ideas you will need to explore the appropriate 2D mark-making or 3D techniques. You need to develop skills in, and explore the potential and limitations of the media, materials and processes in your chosen area of study.
