Unit 4 – OutlineUnit 4: Studio Practice and Art Industry Contexts

Area of Study One: Production and presentation of artworks

Folio of Artworks – Outcome 1 (SAT)

“Present at least two finished artworks based on selected and evaluated potential directions developed through the studio process, which demonstrate refinement and application of materials and techniques, and that realizes and communicate the student’s ideas expressed in the exploration proposal.” – Study Design

Learning Tasks

1. Review your Exploration Proposal and Studio Process (Unit 3 SAT) clearly identify at least SIX to 15 potential directions. This may involve taking photographs of folio pages, photocopying/scanning, sorting, writing notes, highlighting and/or annotating.

2. Write summaries and EVALUATIONS of potential directions which may be developed into finished artworks. You should include at least 6 summaries and evaluations, from which you will develop at least 2 into finished artworks. Your evaluated potential directions should be supported by visual evidence from your Design Process (Unit 3 SAT). Note, finished artworks may be developed from a combination of potential directions.

Studio Art Potential DirectionsIn Studio Art unit three I have three potential directions that I could explore further and use for my final end of year artwork. One of these potential directions I have explored and completely immersed myself in all aspects of capturing the artwork. I have set myself goals and planned out many more potential directions and explorations I can get from this one direction. The other two directions I explored and documented were both very promising and interesting, but had a few aspects that put me off going further into the exploration process with them. Last year I did water droplet photography and really enjoyed being able to have a constant setup in my house that I could work with at all hours of the day.

Last years Studio Art

I want to continue with this style of working, but unlike last year, learn more about the individual components of the setup and how they work and affect each other. For all of my studio art work I am basing my art around photography. Even though I am specifically sticking to photography I incorporate many other mediums and techniques.

My first potential direction is based around the idea of losing gravity or flipping gravity on earth and photographing objects and scenes as the gravity change takes effect. Photographing this was great fun. I chose locations that had objects that I was able to throw into the air and photograph to get the impression they were floating away. For my first test I chose a room that had very even lighting and no shadows that would cause problems in editing. The room was large and I threw tables and chairs with the help of some friends. I captured multiple images of each object in the air and then cut all of the chairs and tables out of the background in Adobe Photoshop with layer masks and merged them all onto an image of the room but empty of all objects. The final image was very pleasing and did show the effect that the gravity had been shifted. The only negative of the image was that there were no shadows cast by the tables and chairs. It did make it a lot easier to edit and put together the photo in Photoshop, but without shadow it lost most of its depth causing the image to not be as realistic as it could have been.

First No Gravity Test No Shadows

I chose to do a second test that would use shadows and create that depth and polish the image to make it 100% realistic. For the second test I decided on going small scale and using my desk and books, pens and other desk objects. I used the

same process as from the first test, but brushed the shadow back into the image with layer masks after everything was aligned and masked. Making the shadows look consistent throughout the image and not interfere with the other objects was a lot harder and took a lot longer to complete. The final image was good, but lacked the consistency of the shadows throughout the image. Overall I really want to continue with this idea, but it is too time consuming, boring to edit, hard to capture the single images and I would need other people to help me to either take the photos or throw the objects, which is not ideal.

Second No Gravity Test With Shadows

My second potential direction is whole new set of challenges that in the end are a little more boring. I chose to try out landscape photography, specifically panoramas and photos of buildings or the city at night. I had the opportunity to go out to a location that looked down upon the city and was perfect to test out some bokeh ideas I had thought of. I changed the focus half way through an exposure to create bokeh over the image. I also moved the camera up or down to position the bokeh or in focus city where I wanted it in the frame. The final photos where interesting and showed that the process worked and had potential, but getting to locations and late nights in the cold aren’t very fun.

Panorama and Focus Shift

For my third potential direction and the one that I am continuing on with to create a final piece I am using sound to create paint sculptures. I am using a speaker with a membrane over the top that transmits the sound and change of air pressure into movement that makes the paint jump and dance. Every photo is different and every combination of colours makes a different patterns. Creating paint sculptures is amazing fun but incredibly difficult. There are so many variables that have to be considered before a single photo is taken. Some of the variables include: sound: hertz, harmonics, amplitude, duration; the speaker: size, maximum decibel, ohm, watts, amp, maximum and minimum air pressure; speaker membrane: size, thickness, colour, translucency; paint mixture: dilution, position on speaker, colour, paint position, layers of paint; lighting: flash duration, position, delay, amount of flashes, light intensity, diffusion, ambient light; background, colour, placement; camera settings: aperture, shutter speed, iso, focal length, sensor size and then how to control all of the flying paint and mess. All of these have a large effect on how the photo will turn out. The photos turn out very surreal in the way that the scale of the paint is lost.

Paint Sculpture Setup

I am aiming to capture a series of photos some that don’t show the size of the images with a very clean perfect look and others that have been taken at locations with a wide view showing parts of the setup as well as the landscape around. I will do this through a similar process as to creating a HDR (high dynamic range) image and use of shadows and light cutting. Another photo that I want to capture is of a person holding a large speaker of 12” or bigger size. The photo will be of the person holding the speaker with a large paint sculpture exploding up in front with the person watching the paint.

One of my First Paint Sculptures

The reason I have chosen this direction is because it enables me not to just learn new photography techniques but also sound engineering techniques and technologies, paint viscosities, colours and lots of other things. This potential direction is not just one direction, but many; I have already had hundreds of potential directions that I could choose to follow to make new and interesting artworks by using paint sculptures.

3. Produce a cohesive folio of finished artworks developed from your selected potential directions. The folio must consist of no fewer than TWO finished artworks; however the number of artworks will be determined by the nature, the scale and complexity of works undertaken. The completed folio should demonstrate a cohesive relationship between the final artworks. Production of artworks should be comprehensively documented with annotated visual material.

Assessment Task: Submission of completed SAT for Unit 3 and 4 (Outcome 1 and 2 for each

Unit). The SAT for Unit 3 and 4 will contribute 60 % of your study score for Studio Arts. You should refer to the criteria detailed on the assessment sheets, and previous SAT reports on the VCAA website. Your work will be progressively authenticated by your teacher.

Area of Study Two:

Evaluation – Outcome 2 (SAT)

“Provide visual and written documentation that identifies and evaluates the extent to which the artworks reflect the selected potential directions, and effectively demonstrate a cohesive relationship between the works.”

Learning Tasks

Develop and write a comprehensive Evaluation. This is a written piece that needs to be typed on a word

document with photos of your final work and potential directions from Unit 3. It is basically an analysis of your own artworks.

Begin by taking photographs of your potential directions from Unit 3 which your cohesive folio of art works are based on (you probably already have photos, which you used in Unit 4 Outcome 1). Discuss how and why those directions were selected and how they have been refined and developed into an artwork.

Outline and discuss your ideas from Unit 3 and the theme of your work.

Discuss comprehensively each artwork in terms of, concepts, ideas, subject matter, aesthetics, materials, techniques, presentation and relationships with each work.

Discuss how your works have been developed and refined in order to communicate your ideas.

Evaluate the presentation of your artworks.

Essentially, the Evaluation displays your processes of developing the artworks from ideas into potential directions and then into artworks.

Evaluation – from the Study Design In this area of study students reflect on the selection of potential directions that form the basis, development and presentation of artworks. Students provide visual and written documentation of the selected potential directions that are the basis for the final artworks in Unit 4 Area of Study 1. The documentation identifies any development, refinement and production of artworks.When the artworks have been completed, students examine and reflect on the communication of ideas, the use of materials and techniques, the resolution of aesthetics and the relationships that have been formed through the presentation of artworks. They may explain any refocusing and provide visual support materials that demonstrate the refinement of techniques and processes employed in the artworks.

On completion of this unit the student should be able to provide visual and written documentation that identifies and evaluates the extent to which the artworks reflect the selected potential directions, and effectively demonstrates a cohesive relationship between the works.To achieve this outcome the student will draw on key knowledge and key skills outlined in Area of Study 2.

Key knowledge

• ways in which themes are expressed in the artworks presented;• appropriate methods for reflection and evaluation;

• ways in which potential directions contribute to the production of artworks;• ways in which the artworks relate to each other;• the methods of applying materials and techniques;• aesthetic qualities of finished artworks;• ways in which ideas are communicated in artworks;• methods relevant to the refinement of the presented artworks;• types of visual and written evidence used to support the potential directions which led to the development of finished artworks;

Key skills

• identify and describe the focus and subject matter of the artworks;• explain the ways in which potential directions contributed to the development and refinement of artworks;• provide visual evidence of selected potential directions used to develop the artworks;• explain any further refinement to the potential directions in order to develop the artworks;• reflect on the effectiveness of finished artworks to communicate ideas;• analyse how the finished artworks realise the communication of ideas;• discuss how relationships are established between finished artworks;• explain how materials and techniques were applied in the finished artworks;• explain how aesthetic qualities were resolved in the finished artworks;• discuss the refinement and presentation or artworks, and evaluate the presentation of artworks.
