 * RESEARCH PROJECT**


 * __Process.__ **

This is a group project. You can choose between two or three people to work with. All teams must work together closely, contributing equally and with enthusiasm. Many hands make light work! All research needs to be shared and recorded in every group member’s investigation workbooks


 * __Knowledge and Understanding (Criteria A)__ **


 * //Brainstorm.// **

Initially, ‘Global Issues’ is a broad topic and will need to be refined. Your final idea needs to be specific, manageable and above all, relevant. The best way to identify an area of interest is to brainstorm/mind map. While working on an appropriate theme you should be also be thinking about possible ways of expressing it artistically. Every idea is good, no matter how ambitious or over the top it may seem at first. Your mind map is on-going, you can build on as your project matures.


 * //Investigation// **


 * What do you really know about your theme? **All too often students take the easy option of investigating a theme on a superficial level. This usually leads to fairly ordinary artworks. Students that really research their topic in depth will arrive at ideas that will have far more punch and achieve greater audience admiration and attention.

Think locally. How does your issue fit into YOUR life. A topic that is achievable is one that you can easily access, read about, record and is relevant to you. Topics that are in the media spotlight are going to provide you with a far greater means of uncovering the truth and may or may not support your own beliefs. Research, READ and find that issue!

The research is not just about writing. It should also have pictures that you have taken, observational sketches that you have drawn, artifacts that you find interesting and a variety of designs that explore style, media, technique, theme and composition. In fact written information should simply be in the form of annotations that support your artistic decision making. Annotations should be concise and target a specific thought or concept.


 * //Presentation.// **

The presentation will be delivered using either PowerPoint, Prezi or any other presentation program.

It will be //exactly five minutes long //. Everyone in the group must participate.

In your presentation you will need address a number of aspects of your artwork, such as:

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">1. Outlining your theme. This needs to be very specific. Tell the audience why it’s important. Consider how it relates to them.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">2. Describe how your group is going to turn this idea into a work of art, Consider such things as:

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Materials (Why?)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Significant artist or artworks. Make sure the artists you select are //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">important and recognizable //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> and discuss how how they will influence you Art. It is OK to steal ideas from artists you’ve looked at, just don’t do a complete imitation.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Size (Why?)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Location- consider carefully about how the potential space is going to be used most effectively. How will it complement your artwork?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Highlight potential obstacles and difficulties, then talk about solutions

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">· Time limitations.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Things to think about when making your artwork: > >
 * 1) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;">Use your research to drive your artwork.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;">Keep asking yourself questions. Is what I am doing significant/relevant in telling the story?
 * 3) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;">Work with materials that you are familiar with and are readily accessible.

 * 5) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #868686; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;">While the artwork may symbolize some thing ugly or upsetting it should also have beauty about it.
