Week nine leading into week 10 -workshopping with the teacher and Peer critique online

Kia ora koutou

Last week you all have the opportunity to spread your work onto your panel one and see it as it will potentially look at the end of the year.

In some cases that meant that i went into your sketch book and pulled out work you didn't realise would be eligible for the folio standard.

Keep in mind that your first series of works should be an introductory statement - like in an essay.

Alayna has structured hers across the top of panel one. the strong elements of shadow, and dark contrast, with the red lettered words, would be things I would expect to see her continue to use and evolve as her folio progresses. even if it is not the same as her original plan. It is better to have the best work over the 'right' work. Art should evolve.

Olivia has larger pieces that she hasn't formatted to fit properly yet. her water colour pieces would need a few more layers and line work based on her artist models. I would expect her to use her less successful pieces on the left to trial these ideas out. Trimming her work up and figuring out how they would sit when glued down is also a consideration to make.

In both cases, filling up the board, making sure your 'why' is visible, and producing work systematically (not randomly with no connection) is important in achieving the standard. 

Your instructions were to post these photos following feedback from me onto your own school blog:
- Title your post
- Use Art as a label
- Spell check with me if needed
- PUBLISH the post

Following this, I placed an expectation on you to peer assess each other on your blogs. I notice that many of you didn't have the blog post in place to be able to do that, As this is going to be something we do ongoingly, you will need to adapt and manage your blog posting better n a lot of cases.
