Graphics Week 8- Individual experimentation


P2 M2 D2 use graphic media, techniques and technology to meet a design brief (coherently & independently)

Experimentation for poster design

LESSON 1

Research preparation for experimentation
Which material, techniques do you like the best? 
How can you combine techniques to create a unique approach for distinction grade outcomes?

Research each of the following artists. Present examples of their work and a description of the their techniques and the materials they use. How might they inspire your own work?

Additional artist reference:
Andrea Jospeph- illustration
Miles Donovan- digital
Denise Fiedler- collage
Rob Ryan- paper cutting
Sanna Annukka- colour print
Stina Persson- illustration
Andrea Bricco- photography 
Patrick Hruby- blocks of colour

Independently driven experimentation & design work
You will complete a minimum of 2x A4 experiments (A5 if Rob Ryan) inspired by the work of the artists you've researched.
1. Complete A4 experiments to explore a range of graphic materials and techniques.
2. Combine materials and techniques to explore further and create your own effects.
3. Annotate, annotate, annotate!!!

Extension activity Further experimentation combining techniques as guided by the teacher.

Homework
1. Complete a 3rd A4 experiment.
2. Present your work so far in your sketchbook. Annotate each experiment to explain which materials, processes and medias you used and how successful it was.
3. Importantly for merit and distinction criteria:
Merit- Compare your use of graphics materials, techniques and technology in your own work and the artists that inspired you.
