Unit:
English and Maths: This project will include functional skills in English and Maths. Please bear in mind your industry requires eloquent use of
English and accurate use of figures, to which end, the continuing development of these skills are firmly embedded inside all your work.
Note on copyright and plagiarism: This process will require independent research. Copying from the internet and additional sources is not
appropriate and violates copyright and will be classed as plagiarism unless fully annotated and credited. You must make your work your own. We
need to see that you have an understanding of the areas that you have researched. Copying work directly from ANY source will not be tolerated. If
you quote ANY existing material you must put it in quotation marks and in brackets, attribute the source / author. For example: Copying is
cheating (Robbie McGovan, 2013, Miskin Theatre)
THE BRIEF
Throughout this year you will be introduced to various techniques and processes using a variety of media and materials. These will be within the
sub-categories Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, Printmaking and Sculpture. As a professional artist from your second year onwards, you will want
to have a diverse range of skills in different areas so that you are able to most effectively convey your concept to the viewer. Therefore, you will
need to log the materials, techniques and processes you learn as you learn them.
You are being asked to create a website blog which will act as a technique file which you will always be able to refer back to when you are
developing your ideas in the future. You need to log the processes, the health and safety requirements and images of the work you produce in
order to see the effects that can be achieved in different ways.
Professional Practice: Please be aware that you will be putting professional practice into action within Miskin Arts, which is a professional
environment in which you are effectively being given the opportunity to publicly test your skills and gain creditable industrial experience.
