Ms. Ognen | 2016
Final due:

Friday the 16th of Sep, 2016

Outcome 1:
On completion of this unit the student should present a cohesive folio of finished artworks, based on selected potential
directions developed through the design process, that demonstrates skilful application of materials and techniques and that
realises and communicates the students ideas. To achieve this outcome the student will draw on key knowledge and key
skills outlined in Area of Study 1.
The folio of artworks relates to Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of School-assessed Task 2.
To achieve this outcome the student will draw on key knowledge and key skills outlined in Area of Study 1.
Key knowledge
This knowledge includes:
ways of presenting objectives of the folio focus;
materials and techniques appropriate to particular art form/s;
the depiction of subject matter in artworks;
the resolution of aesthetic qualities in artworks;
methods for the realisation and communication of ideas in artworks;
techniques for the production and presentation of artworks appropriate to the students ideas and the selected art form/s;
ways to create relationships between artworks to present a cohesive folio.

Key skills
These skills include the ability to:
articulate the focus of the folio;
use selected potential directions to support the production of artworks;
apply materials and techniques appropriate to particular art form/s and utilise their inherent characteristics;
depict subject matter;
resolve aesthetic qualities;
realise and communicate ideas in artworks;
create relationships between artworks.

Nature of the Task:

A cohesive folio of finished artworks, which demonstrates the refinement and resolution of themes, concepts, ideas,
techniques and aesthetics explored and developed in the design process. The artworks should be presented in a manner
appropriate to the art form/s.
Finished artworks in the folio demonstrate:
Realisation and communication of individual ideas.
A connection of ideas between finished artworks.
Application of materials, techniques and processes to support the resolution of ideas and aesthetic qualities.

 An understanding of the inherent characteristics of materials, techniques and processes and their relationship to the depiction of
subject matter.
Use of aesthetic qualities that contribute towards an interpretation of subject matter and communicate ideas in the finished artworks.
An application of art elements that contribute towards the development and resolution of aesthetic qualities.
Understanding and appropriate use of materials, techniques, processes and methods of presentation that demonstrates an
understanding of the students selected artform/s.

What to do:
You will need to complete a minimum of 2 artworks from 2 different potential directions. These can be made using
different materials and look quite different to each other but they must be connected by the themes set out in your
exploration proposal.
It is really important at this time to reflect on your exploration proposal and consult your work plan to remind yourself of
your initial ideas.
The Informal Presentation Tasks (SAT 2, Outcome 2) will help inform your cohesive folio of finished artworks.
