Criterion C Communicate Ideas and Intentions'

Criterion C of the Process Portfolio focuses on demonstrating the development of ideas and intentions, and how technical skills and media choices further those ideas. An effective Process Portfolio documents both the artistic making process and thinking process, showing how initial ideas trigger artwork, how ideas develop through different stages, and which media best suit the ideas. Students should use concept maps, diagrams, and visual journals to record their thinking from the beginning of the process in order to meet Criterion C. Teachers can point students towards contemporary art issues and interdisciplinary connections to help trigger explorations of individual ideas.

CRITERION C - ‘COMMUNICATE IDEAS AND INTENTIONS’

…IN THE PROCESS PORTFOLIO

The evolution of an image or idea...


An important part of the Process Portfolio, criterion C is about showing how your ideas and
intentions begin and progress, and how your choice of imagery and techniques/media
communicates these ideas.
 Criterion C: Communication of ideas and intentions
Using the required number of art-making forms from the Art Making Forms
Requirements table, to what extent does the student demonstrate

 how their initial ideas and intentions have been formed and developed?
 how they have assimilated technical skills, chosen media and ideas to develop
their work further?

Your Process Portfolio is a documentation of both your making process and your thinking


process. What triggers an idea for an artwork? How does an idea develop into artwork? 
What medium best suits your idea? What stages does the work go through before finding its
resolved form? Thinking is of course a part of this process but thinking in art happens mainly
through the vehicle of the medium and the physical process of making.
Initial brainstorming 
 Use concept maps/brainstorming diagrams.
 Where did you get that idea? What did you see, read, think that made you want to
develop it into something?
 What techniques do you explore to realize your idea? What technique or media is
most suitable?
 How might a viewer respond to this?
 Keep a record of the development of the work, it can and will change!
Tip: Use the  Visual Journal to record your thinking from the beginning, this will be valuable
source material when assembling PP screens to meet criterion C

Expansive ideas...
Look for ideas that stimulate thinking and open up avenues of inquiry. Teachers can point
students towards these areas of invistigation to help trigger responses that lead to
individual exploration:
Contemporary Art issues, such as presentation affecting meaning, Curatorial
Practice, Collections as an Art Form ,  Artist and Viewer, Titling Work, materials and
meaning, or from  Interdisciplinary Connections with other subjects such as Words as
Art or Nature and Technology .

Theory of Knowldege  (ToK) can also be a valuable source of ideas to


explore...such as challenging artistic or social traditions, Artistic Appropriation , the
responsibilities of the artist in society; Ethical Expression, the relationships between Art vs.
Craft,  and how this relates to their own intentions.

TIPS
USE your creative autonomy to explore your own original ideas and concepts. Better to
choose student-initiated projects that pursue an individual line of inquiry.
DON"T rely on cliche' images, or readily available images from the internet and pop culture
(unless this is part of the cummunicated artistic intentions) resulting in superficial idea
development and a very basic use of imagery and symbolism.
* It is probably a good idea to show the development of ideas and intentions for each piece
in the PP, one screen per art making form. (see recommended number of pieces in Art
Making Forms Requirements )
