BTEC PHOTO Project: Photographic Collages

LESSON AIMS

1. Use handmade photographic media, techniques and technology in manipulating own media to create 3 separate collages using 3 different techniques over 3 lessons,
2. Know about the characteristics and properties of photographic materials through discovery
3. Explain own use by recording processes, using correct terms to list and describe, analyse and evaluate them in detail in sketchbooks

Starter: 10MINS

Sketchbooks handed back by teacher and learners complete self/peer assessment to be placed in backs of books.  Teacher to remind learners of importance of getting books right for interim review 3^rd March

Teacher to communicate importance of explain own use of technical processes by recording using correct terms to list and describe, analyse and evaluate them in detail in sketchbooks

Main Task: Time based workshops: 35MINS

Complete a range of collage experiments based on holiday homework of a journey and a range of socially and culturally varied artists and designers. 

Learners to split into 3 groups and using the materials supplied create a collage based on the inspiration help sheets. Groups to rotate for next lesson: STRETCH AND CHALLENGE – discuss the use of materials – of extending collages with techniques used in other parts of the project

Use the artists inspiration in front of you to complete:

1 X Paper collage inspired by the work of: Kurt Schwitters / Hannah Hoch

1 x Painted Collage inspired by the work of: Robert Rauschenberg

1 X Photographed collage inspired by the work of: Fiona Watson

Plenary: Class exhibition 10MINS

Leaners to show work, feedback experiences and discuss the skills used, comparing techniques with leaners in rotation discussing:

List the characteristics and properties of photographic material

Describe the characteristics and properties of a diverse range of photographic materials

Describe in detail with correct terminology, the characteristics and properties of a comprehensive range of photographic materials

Discuss own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

Analyse own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

Evaluate own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

HOMEWORK: 3 HOUR

Hand in: 5th March

Teacher to set homework for week of comparing a range of photographic collage processes and communicate importance of recording ideas and teacher to use questioning to promote higher order thinking and dicussion on gaining higher marks by:

List the characteristics and properties of photographic material

Describe the characteristics and properties of a diverse range of photographic materials

Describe in detail with correct terminology, the characteristics and properties of a comprehensive range of photographic materials

Discuss own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

Analyse own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

Evaluate own use of photographic media, techniques and technology.

PHOTO Project wk: 4

This is your chance to catch up

You should have the following in your sketchbooks:

TITLE PAGE

1 x page on health and safety - annotated

1 x page on 14 day photo challenge

2 x double page: Chemigrams (with Pierre Cordier research)

2 x double page: Photograms (with Man Ray research)

1 x page: Photograms reversals

2 x page: Layering found photographs and words

2 x page: Vignetting

Please use this lesson to stick in all your darkroom material.  Your books MUST be collected at the end of the lesson for marking for Friday

HOMEWORK: for next Wednesday

Use your own images from 14 day photo challenge and notes made in previous lessons to write a 2 page visual analysis called: 

'William Eggleston and I: recording the everyday

PHOTO Project wk: 4 Masking and Vignetting

Lesson aims:

1. Investigate photographic media, techniques and technology by being introduced to vignetting – making connections to own personal ideas
2. Use photographic media, techniques and technology safely by making final photogram – for presentation on mounted sheets – using vignetting techniques to refine ideas
3. Know about the characteristics and properties of photographic materials and understand own use of photographic media, techniques and technology by recording vignetting techniques, processes and timings in sketchbooks in evaluative plenary

Starter 10mins: Group exhibition on past prints – discussing groups previous understanding and learning.

promoting inclusion by shwocasing and celebrating groups work

TASK 1 5mins:

Teacher to display examples of vignette and leave on board for learners to discuss as a group the techniques and process used.

TASK 2 10mins:

Learners to take learning into recording quick ideas on A5 compositional sheets – to be placed in sketchbooks later.

TASK 3 30mins 

Learners to cut 1 simple vignette  - based on ideas, inspiration from board and tracings from previous experiments and 14day photo challenge to create 3 to 4 vignette prints that uses all of the skills they have learnt over the cameraless elements of first 3 weeks of unit

EXTENSION:Learners coherent use of materials will be judged on effectiveness of vignette

Learners innovative use of materials will be judge on skillful, personal, effective vignettes that clearly answers the brief

Plenary 10mins
To discuss progress and each individual to set targets for second part of lesson and feed in to HOMEWORK task

HOMEWORK: 2hours for 8^th Feb

Complete a review of darkroom practice to investigate uses of techniques, showing understanding of photographic terms, know about the characteristics and properties of photographic materials and own uses, analysis of this for high marks and evaluating it for top marks

LESSON:2

STARTER

Teacher to discuss health and safety in the darkroom

TASK 1 45mins 

Learners to discover uses of vignette in darkroom practice task that use photographic media, techniques and technology safely; integrating inspiration and ideas developed from group discussion and targets set in previous lessons

Learners to evaluate progress half way through task, discuss best prints, best practice in process and how to refine further

Learners to continue to discover uses of vignettes, refining ideas and developing skills further to complete 3 professionally printed outcomes that use photographic media, techniques and technology safely

EXTENSION:

Leaners to use vignettes and press printing combined to create multi layered prints that answer a brief but show distinction criteria in using innovatively, a comprehensive range of photographic media, techniques and technology safety

TASK: 2 5mins 

Clean up – making sure darkroom is left as a safe and clean environment

Plenary 10mins:

To evaluate progress.  Have we achieved what we individually set out to do?  Have we extended our learning? Have we discovered further and refined more than we expected? To be recorded for use in HOMEWORK
