Materials & Processes

Assessment Criteria 1.1 Critically compare a range of materials and processes used in art and design through experimental application. 1.1 Experiment with different materials in different ways and document them in your sketchbook using photos and annotation (plaster, water-colour, machine embroidery, paper engineering , wire, wood and metal, mod-roc, clay)

Assessment Criteria 1.2 Apply understanding of materials and processes to support own art and design activities 1.2 Use the materials in test sessions in your own final outcomes based on your Uphill trip

Assessment Criteria 1.3 Apply understanding of technical skills to support own art and design activities 1.3 Use skills taught in taster sessions and from line, tone and colour in your final outcome based on the trip to Uphill

Assessment Criteria 1.4 Evaluate the use of materials, processes and technical skills to support own art and design activities 1.4 Annotate key images and designs within your sketchbook analysing taster sessions, development of your final outcome and your actual final piece.

Jackson Pollock, No. 1 - 1948

"Pollock danced some of the most beautiful paintings in the world "Pollock danced some of the most beautiful paintings in the world." In this photograph we see that action which made for the name "Action Painting": As he himself said, "The problem isn't painting, its what to do when you aren't painting." Jackson Pollock too often used his important hands to hit people. Once, when a fellow artist hit him back, Pollock, smiled and said "Thank you, but not so hard, not so hard." I think he was desperate to have someone honestly criticize him.

Task Create a Pollock inspired image based upon and Image from Uphill using plaster and paint.
