Yr 10 BTEC Brief: Supersized

This is your Yr 10 BTEC Art and Design brief entitled Supersized. You can assess your progress whilst researching a variety of Food and Drink and responding to the work of  Claes Oldenburg and Ralph Goings.

Puppet Project

The puppet project we deliver in Key Stage 3 develops our learners understanding of Portraiture, Distortion, Caricature, Scale, 3D Construction and Modelling techniques. We use the completed puppets to develop story telling skills and performances that cover whole school themes e.g. Anti-bullying and School Code of Conduct. We also use them to muck about and simply entertain!

Student Blog: Surfaces and Nava Lubelski

This entry was written by Abbey who is currently studying Art and Design and Textiles in year 13

The idea of using stains as a theme for the surfaces project came accidentally when I lifted up my cup to see a ring stain left on a piece of cloth. I started to create and develop stains investigating how they reacted with different materials and surfaces e.g. paper, large wooded areas and fabric.

To extend the stains experiments further I introduced photographic chemicals and the Photogram/Raygram process inspired by Man Ray introducing a series of drips and exploring the positive and negative space.

I was very pleased with how the ring stains on the photogram turned out and decided to experiment with these pictures using ICT, scanning them onto photoshop and manipulating the colours.

From there I moved into 3D and relief casting as I wanted to explore the outcome of lifting the stains looking at the height and depth while using the same colour scheme from my ICT experiments.

Recently I have been experimenting with ‘accidental’ stains e.g where a cup of tea was thrown at a white dress, whilst maintaining the colour scheme from previous works.  I’ve  stitched around the stains to enhance them which is influenced by Nava Lubelski who stitches around stains on table cloths, canvas, paper and sheets to expose the beautiful, colourful abstract movement of the stain.

Vladimir Tatlin

Vladimir Tatlin’s Tower formed the blueprint for avant -guarde architectural design for the twentieth century.

We have used the Russian Constructivist aesthetic using a set of architectural forms and introducing Surface, Pattern and Graphical techniques to create our own versions.
