Sharing a set of work from Academic Year 2020-21(Online teaching&learning) : Year 9 (Grade 9) introducing to the style of prep work IGCSE

Dear all,

Today, I will share a set of samples from my talented student, Nyla, when she was in Year 9. Now she is Year 10 student, and she is taking Art & Design IGCSE 0400. Glad she made the right decision! :)

She is talented and very teachable. All the work attached here were guided through online classes. When I look back on all her pieces, I am amazed by her efforts, dedication, and commitment to completing all the given tasks. 

I'll brief the task set by set. 

Term 1. Sept-Dec2020
'A person tighten up the shoelace'
(Painting and related media)




Term 1. Sept-Dec2020
'A person tighten up the shoelace'
(Painting and related media)

For the above planning, I could foresee that we won't conduct face-to-face at school for the entire term. I was extra careful when I planned this task. I chose past year questions from Art & Design IGCSE 0400 old syllabus. We always have pretty tight school weeks and in the calendar, guiding through the screen is not as easy as face-to-face learning. So I decided to focus on 2 preps and 1 Final Piece. I planned the Scheme of Work for Year 8 (but I don't teach this grade), and I only teach Year 9 onwards. We are proud to give them as much as they need for the basic foundation in art skills. E.g drawing, painting, mixing colours and all the required foundation. When the students come to me, Year 9, I'll train them on producing supporting studies and the Final Piece - depending on the academic weeks for the term. 
In this task, students explored and experimented with various dry media, wet media, and coffee painting. Introducing them to how we prep IGCSE work is essential at this level, be it they are taking Art Igcse in the upcoming year or not, early exposure is necessary. The reference artist up there was from a local established artist, Amron Omar. Also, the students must use first-hand studies for the subject matter pictures. They submitted to me about 6 subject matter pictures of them tighten the shoelace. 

Requirement Term I:
First-hand studies (subject matter pictures)
Artist Reference printed picture
Prep 1
Prep 2
Final Piece
Art Assignment - Worksheet on Artist's painting interpretation (screenshot as below)






**********

Term II. Jan-March2021
Design: Front cover magazine design titled 'TiS Cafe' based on food or juice.
(Graphic Communication : Design 2D task)





Term II. Jan-March2021
Design: Front cover magazine design titled 'TiS Cafe' based on food or juice.
(Graphic Communication : Design 2D task)


For Term II, I decided to introduce them to Design type of work. Since we continue the online learning I planned, they can quickly gather and get first-hand studies (subject matter pictures) at home. So I decided to plan the Front Cover Magazine for our school, TiS Cafe (Tanarata International School), based on food or juice they eat and drink at home. The students need to submit to me the food or juice photos. No internet pictures are allowed. For Prep 1, the students print and paste the subject matter pictures. When we discuss the layout and such, the students will continue to research the Front Cover Design, and for this, they can submit to me the various front cover magazines they like from the internet. Prep 2, more on Font Studies and Tagline exploration and draw and paint another subject matter picture. 
We don't have much time because I need to pace my guidance with the online teaching and learning, so I decided not to request the Final Piece. I guided the students for the 2 Idea Development at Prep 3. Not only that, I also planned for them to design and produce a mind-mapping as part of art assignment for this term. 

Requirement Term II:
First-hand studies (subject matter pictures)
Front cover magazines from internet printed pictures
Design 1
Design 2
Art Assignment - Mind mapping on Design Elements (below is Nyla's mind-mapping)




***********

Term III. April-July 2021 
(for the Art lesson, only until end of June)
'Running Water'
(Painting and related media)



Term III. April-July 2021 
'Running Water'
(Painting and related media)


In this Term III, I decided to continue with the Painting and related media type of work. Again, I chose a question from the past year IGCSE paper. The students, as usual, need to submit to me their first-hand studies pictures. They need to find and interesting objects as they explore the photoshoot with the running water at home. They learned Surrealism Art and the input that they had in that era. You can see the recopy of artist reference painting up there. Then, they took any elements or inspiration from Dali's work to the first subject matter studies exploration. At Prep 2, the draw/paint/apply mixed media adds another inspiration 'from Galatea of the Spheres'. Their outcome should show the surrealism elements. 

Other studies at Prep 2 were to recall the Elements and Principle of Art and take the animal patterns from the internet and apply the contour line drawing based on another subject matter study. 

We had concise weeks in this term, and as I said earlier, I need to pace my plan and lesson because doing art online can be challenging. I don't want students to suffer too. We took time in all weekly classes and tasks. 

Requirement Term I:
First-hand studies (subject matter pictures)
Artist Reference printed picture
Prep 1
Prep 2
No Final Piece and Assignment given in this term. Focused more on the art techniques and Surrealism inspiration outcomes.

Grade B Component 1 (Coursework) June2020 samples Art & Design IGCSE 0400.

Dear visitors,

Here is the Grade B Component 1 (Coursework) set for the Art & Design IGCSE 0400, June2020. It was a considerable challenge as half of it we're doing during face-to-face classes, and half of it was during the pandemic (online sessions). 

The student managed to complete the work, and I am so proud of her work!

Sharing the guideline of Component 2 (Externally Set Assignment ESA) Art & Design IGCSE 0400

Dear art educators, art students and parents,


I hope you are fine and safe wherever you are.

Thank you again for visiting my blog.

I hope my sharing here helps you prepare the work for the Art & Design IGCSE 0400 subjects.

I need to emphasize again that I don't teach As or A-Level IGCSE, and so sorry I can't help you much with that syllabus. You can always go to the Facebook page of Cambridge Art / Design AS/ A 9704, 9479 & IGCSE 0400 For Educators <-- many experienced teachers can help you there. 


*

Here, I would like to share my guideline on HOW TO PROCEED WITH 'PAINTING AND RELATED MEDIA' art style for the COMPONENT 2 - EXTERNALLY SET ASSIGNMENT (ESA) (again, for the syllabus Art & Design IGCSE 0400 / syllabus 2020-2022).


If you are taking the June Exam, the ESA test paper will be uploaded at the Caie website on the 1st of January, and the October/November Exam will be on 1st July.


I will use the samples for my former student's work as I share how I guide my students for this component. I also will attach the suggestion for the layout that might help you to plan for your work.


*********************


PREP 1











Above are the few samples that you could guide your students in preparing the layout for Prep 1. I always request my students to share with me at least two potential drafts of Prep 1 layout. Alongside the draft, I will ask them to select the Subject Matter (SM) pictures they want to paste (as part of First-hand studies) as evidence. For which SM pictures they want to start for the Subject Matter studies (SM Studies) for most, I want them to explore the basic foundation first; experiment with various dry media in it. A lot of discussions is happening even for the early prep. This including which Artist Reference (AR) they want to select and research. I'll brief them during class about 'Artist Research' and 'How to select and choose relatable Artist Research'. Also, I'll give them the freedom to choose to attach the AR at Prep 1 or Prep 2. There is no specific fix layout of where they need to stick the AR exploration. 



PREP 2



The same process with Prep 1 I shared earlier. Even so, Prep 2, I'll request the students to propose to me 2 potential layouts, and the discussion shall include the best SM pictures, SM Studies, and what possible media and techniques suit the selected pictures. The students will present a complete draft with what type of papers they plan to choose for the mixed media exploration. For Prep 2 onwards, I will emphasize more on experiment and exploration in various media. The media includes wet and dry media. It could be a combination of (any type) paint and charcoal. You can always plan with your students and ask them to think more about how to present the work in a pleasant and neat layout and the media used for each study. 


PREP 3



The same process with Prep 2 I shared earlier. For the Prep 3 I'll request the students to propose to me 2 potential layouts, and the discussion shall include the best SM pictures, SM Studies, and what possible media and techniques suit the selected pictures. The students will present a complete draft with what type of papers they plan to choose for the mixed media exploration. 

In Prep 3 (or any prep), the students can think of a creative arrangement to attach their SM pictures. Some can cut them according to their shape. Always encourage your students to think more about presenting the layout and not only think of the media used for each study. They can surprise you with the various creative arrangements, and I always love to discuss with each of them, even minor structures, because each process is for the learning process. Always pay attention to the ideas presented by your students. 


PREP 4





Prep 4 is to focus more on what the students what combination of SM studies and media used towards the Final Piece. The students can redraw some of earlier studies and enlarge them accordingly for this layout. They also can experiment on media used in earlier exploration. The students also can sketch in an outline method to show what and how they want to combine the selected SM pictures or studies for the Final Piece. One of the ideas here will be the Final Piece selection later on. 


FINAL PIECE

The final Piece arrangement can be slightly different from the Prep 4 selection. However, I won't encourage you to do another image from Prep 4. Remember, the work should show the flow of the development from the beginning to the end. For the Final Piece, with the 8 hours exam time frame, you can always do a prototype with your students, perhaps, a week before the exam dates. Discuss the media selection and give them tips for how long they should spend on the drawing before focusing on the details and finishing. 






Annotation

I'll encourage my students to annotation the work but not be too wordy with the explanation. About 10-20% of the annotation at each prep will do. Do encourage your students to choose art terms in the annotation. 

Artist Reference

For the ESA paper, I encourage students to do 1-2 artist(s) because they only present 4 preps (2 pages) so to me, 1-2 artist(s) will do. 

**************

That's all from me today. I hope this sharing help you in guiding your students for the ESA paper. 

If you have any questions, email me, or share them at the chatbox on your right side.
