1. Year 12 transition task
ART
2018

2. PRACTICAL TASK: The transition task for the summer will allow you to demonstrate your interests as an artist and give you time to reflect upon which artists inspire you and how you can translate their work yourself. You only need to complete 1 of the practical tasks below so we have given you 3 possible options. There are some visual references on the next page.
WHERE TO START: choose an image to study further by an artist that has inspires you. Make a note of the title and date of the piece of work and find a little out about this artist. Then study this piece of artwork yourself producing a practical piece of work but in a different style or technique.- look at the different examples on the Ppt to guide you but remember you have free choice of materials and techniques and you can determine the size ( no smaller than A3 please). Play to your strengths as an artist and use what you have learnt from GCSE.
Produce a photographic response to your chosen artist image. You may use any photographic techniques but should refer to similar imagery (e.g stairs).
Produce either a 2D or 3D response to your chosen artist image using different materials or techniques. Could you turn a painting into a sculpture?? Could you turn a painting into mixed media study? Could you turn a painting into a detailed drawing with similar imagery?
Produce a response to your chosen artist exploring the techniques but changing the imagery? E.g Same/similar painting techniques but of a landscape instead of stairs?

3. You must choose your own image to respond to.
Please remember the following slides are examples only based on a single artist image.
