Complete these tasks to help improve your marks and/or get ahead for next year!
Human Figure Checklist
1. Is everything annotated? If not, go back and explain each photoshoot, link to artists, review your edits etc. 2. Do you use technical terms in your annotations? If not, look back at your glossary and try to add a few key words in each piece of writing. 3. Does everything have a clear title? We want to make it as easy as we can for the examiner! 4. How clear are your links to your two artists? Can you make the links clearer with extra closer linked photoshoots or extra edits? 5. Do your experiments show progress? Do they clearly link from one to the next and get better each time? If not, maybe you need to rearrange the lay out? Or you need to plan for/complete an extra experiment to fill a gap? 6. Can you do extra experiments from home? Ideally use photoshop (use the link on the home page), or alternatively, whatever software you have access to is better than nothing! 7. In September we will revisit each project to do final experiments and a final piece. Take 3 sets of photographs linked to your ideas for this project so that you can have less homework in year 11! Go to a different place for each photoshoot and try to use different people (or at least get them to wear different clothes!) in each one! 8. Want extra marks? Find a third artist! This is only an option if you are prepared to do the work that goes with it: - an extra paragraph to analyse the new artist - an extra photoshoot or two to link to their style - photoshoot/edits to link this artist to your previous two - further editing to develop your ideas with this artist along with the first two artist. - everything uploaded and annotated. |

How clear are your links to your first artist? Can you make the links clearer with extra closer linked photoshoots or extra edits? 5. Do your experiments so far show progress? Do they clearly link from one to the next and get better each time? If not, maybe you need to rearrange the lay out? Or you need to plan for/complete an extra experiment to fill a gap? 6. In September we will revisit each project to do final experiments and a final piece. Take 3 sets of photographs linked to your ideas for this project so that you can have less homework in year 11! Go to a different place for each photoshoot and try to use different lighting and different people/objects (or at least get them to wear different clothes!) in each one! 7. If you want to prepare for your next set of experiments, explore more photographers and identify one or two that you might like to use as the next artist for this project. Analyse their work, do a photoshoot linked to them, and start editing if you can! |
This task requires a bit of luck... but it should be fun, and will develop your skills either way.
We don't know what will be on your exam paper next year. BUT... we can still start taking photos that could potentially be used on your exam project.
Take your camera everywhere you go over summer. Take LOTS of photographs of EVERYTHING and ANYTHING!
As with a bit of luck, you'll be able to use some of them, and this will take some of the pressure off you during the exam preparation period, as you might need to take less photos.
