G/M150392/Jun06/3202/T 6/6/3202/T2 G/M150392/Jun06/3202/T Your work will be marked according to how well you have shown evidence of: ! recording observations, experiences and ideas in forms that are appropriate to your intentions; ! analysing and evaluating images, objects and artefacts, showing understanding of context; ! developing and exploring ideas, using media, processes and resources, reviewing, modifying and refining your work as it progresses; ! presenting a personal response, realising your intentions and making informed connections with the work of others. Choose one of the following starting points. 1 Surfaces Artists such as Brancusi, Hepworth and Tàpies have been interested in the use of surfaces and the rough or smooth tactile qualities that they could create. Explore examples of art where the surface has a tactile quality. From your research, produce your own ideas for work to be placed in the entrance of a school for children with impaired vision. 2 The Bauhaus Kandinsky and Klee both taught at the Bauhaus. They sometimes developed work inspired by their common interest in music. Explore some of their ideas and use them to develop your own work in response to one of the following themes: (a) pattern; (b) rhythm; (c) improvisation. 3 Every picture tells a story Artists such as Ghiberti, Hogarth and Paula Rego have often used their work to tell a story. This type of work is called narrative art. Look at suitable examples and produce work based on: EITHER (a) a real event in your own life; OR (b) something you have read or written yourself.3 G/M150392/Jun06/3202/T 4 North Africa The work of artists such as Delacroix, Matisse and Bridget Riley has been influenced by the exotic colour and decoration they saw during visits they made to countries in North Africa. Investigate the ways in which the work of artists such as these has been influenced by their experiences. Produce your own work based on the way colour and decoration feature in a North African country. 5 Movement The term Kinetic art was used to describe the work of artists during the 1970s in which there was either actual or suggested movement. It could also be used to describe the work of artists such as Alexander Calder, Rebecca Horn, Takis and Jean Tinguely. From your studies of the work of such artists, produce your own response in which movement is created or suggested. 6 Metamorphosis The shapes of natural forms change as they grow or decay and have inspired artists such as M C Escher, Andy Goldsworthy and Giuseppe Penone. Look at the work of appropriate artists and create your own response to the idea of changing forms. 7 Location Look at the suggestions below based on the starting point Location. You may use one of these suggestions or you could develop your own interpretation. (a) Artists have responded to the environment by producing site-specific work in which they use the materials available in that location. Some have brought materials into a gallery to create an installation which shows aspects of the environment. You could explore either of these approaches based on your local surroundings. (b) Landscape has been a major theme for artists throughout art history. You could explore the work of appropriate artists and produce your response to a landscape in your own locality. (c) Artists have often been commissioned to produce work, such as sculptures, mosaics or murals, for a particular location. You might investigate examples of this type of work and produce ideas and maquettes for work to be sited in your locality.
