1. Enriched Art 10 Independent projects 2013

2. This project is based on the idea that students will explore personal development through their own artwork. Students are to choose a topic or subject that they feel they would like to explore further, more personally.

3. Once students have chosen a topic for their art portfolio, they will write a proposal for this independent project. This will outline the topic they have chosen and how they will represent, or express what they have learned through their art work. Students can choose any media (art materials) they wish to complete this project.

4. Different media include: ► Pencil ► Charcoal ► Pastels ► Chalk ► Pencil crayon ► Water colour pencils ► Water colour paints

5. ► Acrylic paints ► Tempera paints ► Oil paints ► Paper Mache ► Clay Other?..........

6. *If there is a media that interests you, or even other art forms, but you cannot find it here, please discuss it with me and we will see if it might possibly be used. * Any media that the school does not normally carry must be supplied by the student. *All learning will be self directed, and independent, however the teacher will assist where s/he can.

7. The final requirements of this project will be: The initial independent project proposal. Due : November 18th th 2013 (Value 10) A minimum of 2 complete works of art, each corresponding to what was outlined in the student’s initial proposal.

8. The Proposal: Your proposal should include a written description of your chosen subject, why you decided to choose this topic, and how you plan to explore it further. It should also include a written description of your chosen media, and why you decided on this media. If your chosen media is something new to you, or something we do not have at school, you need to include in your write up how you plan to obtain the materials you need, and how you plan to learn how to use them.
