AOI: Human Ingenuity Description of the Task: Students will: Research the paintings of American artist, Stuart Davis and come to an understanding of how his simple shapes and complex compositions display the sounds of Jazz within a city environment. Colour theory, line and pattern exploration exercises. Students must provide a number of researched objects found within a specific urban environment, such as a night club, caf, highway, theme park, etc. A series HB pencil sketches conveying distorted figures to be produced. Students create a number of drawings whilst listening to jazz pieces using only line and shape to express the rhythms. Through the developmental process, a number of trialled compositions which evolve into a refined designed are provided. Present examples of colour schemes. Exercises in 1 and 2 point perspective. Exercise exploring a variety of cameras angles/compositions. The use of presentation skills should be evident through the use of titles, dates, mediums listed, and notations within the DW. A framed completed artwork will be submitted. Submit a descriptive essay assessing the use of the Art Elements within an abstract paint. Criterion to be Assessed: Criterion A- Knowledge and understanding. Criterion B- Application Criterion C-Reflection and evaluation. Criterion D- Personal reflection

Tasks Title: Unit 1, Collage, coloured card or gouache paint. Practical; Based on the Art of Stuart Davis Unit question: Jazz Art! What does it look like?
The task includes images and technical experiments produced for the Developmental Process found within the Developmental Workbook where the student works towards a final design. Description of the task: the Developmental Workbook Students will display visual images that show an understanding of the following concepts in Visual Art: 1. The control of linear effects and shape. 2. The pictorial understanding of 2 or 3 areas of a picture plane. 3. The creation and function of a focal point/s. 4. Understanding the difference between an open and/or closed composition. 5. A pictorial understanding of the Art Elements, shape, proportion, line and pattern. 6. Descriptive suggestion of one point perspective. 7. The visual research of personal images to describe an urban location. 8. The planning and effective organization to define desired visual concepts, set goals, and make decisions. Criterion B. Application.

Parent Signature__________________________________________ Criterion C. Reflection and Evaluation. Tasks Title: A Reflection and Evaluation of the Developmental processes. The student produces written responses that reflect upon technical skills, concepts and the use of feed back and discussion to produce images that lead the framed collage/painting. Description of the task Students will display written responses illustrating an ability to reflect and evaluate on: 1. The visual effects and technical skills found within the DW. 2. The creative development of the concept. 3. The use of verbal and written feed back and discussion on images, techniques and the painting/collage. 4. Assessment and appraisal of concepts displayed. 5. Use of artistic language in written responses.
Level of Achievement 0 12 34 Descriptor The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below The students use of feed back and reflection upon techniques is minimal. The student has completed a rudimentary evaluation of his/her skills. The student finds it difficult to take feed back where-by improvements suggested by the teacher have not been considered. The student provides an evaluation of his/her skill development. Themes and concepts have been evaluated but some aspects may be unrealistic or incomplete. The student reflects on the concepts and takes feed back into account when working. The student provides an evaluation of his/her development as well as evaluating the concept/s. Some aspects of the evaluation may be unrealistic or incomplete.
