Hello art educators/teachers/students, I am back to brief you about Design Paper, Art & Design IGCSE 0400 with some samples from my students. _____ Please take note that our school are taking Art & Design IGCSE 0400 for November Series. For our mock exam, I will use the June Series exam questions to prepare my students for the upcoming exams. Above questions were taken from June Series 2016 Examination Referring to the questions above, I worked with my students on selecting the best question for them to do for the mock exam. Please take note (!) Design question requires you to choose what type of product you want to work with and to 'present' from your idea development progress and towards your final piece. You have to use your FIRST-HAND STUDIES when it stated in the question requirement and always encourage your students to expand the research, gathered their pictures, snap the photos, printed out as preparation work references. The truth about the whole set of preparation works and the final piece, I 'DESIGN' MY LAYOUT AND ALL THE SEQUENCES ARE NOT COMING FROM THE CIE OR IGCSE, as a teacher, I think what is the best to meet what the question wants and guide my students towards the aim of each question. As far as my experiences goes, my layout of helping them shows results. Good results. All the results, at the end of the day, based on each of the student ability and capability in presenting their preparation works and final piece. I do a lot of analysis too. Will talk about how to do analysis in next post. _____ I am going to use Reanne, Tian Huey and Yi Ruth art samples to explain further about the progress. Reanne chose question number 4 and spent the time to expand her research about the healthy eating and food. Her idea, at the end of the progress, she is preparing a campaign poster as what the question wants - Grow Cook Eat. (click the picture for a better view) In this prep 1, I always emphasise the important of introduction and the students should write in brief why the choose the question, what is the aim of the whole preparation work and what is their expectation at the end of the final piece. The students will attach some research material in the form of designer's work that inspired them to do the design or any product (as for above - poster) that given them some interesting idea to work with their ideas later on. (click the picture for a better view) These are the details of the First-Hand Studies materials and the drawing/painting of the subject matters ( I think ) should show in first preparation work. LOVE the outcomes by her. (click the picture for a better view) Above shows the close-up of a poster sample, taken from the internet that giving Reanne the inspiration for her upcoming idea development. She used a variety of media to do details on it. E.g, water colour, gel pen, pencil, etc. Reminder (!) Annotation is still important in Design paper as well. Encourage your students to annotate all the process/progress/decision/selection - basically, journal the progress. (click the picture for a better view) Going back to Reanne's Prep 2 - For a poster or front cover book or any printed product, I will encourage my students to study about the font types, the layout templates. From this prep, you can see that Reanne came out with the different type of fonts as well as putting some background and pattern to some of the fonts. She managed to arrange well with the font studies, templates and some studies with the images in it. It is supposed to be a 'technical' studies. (click the picture for a better view) (click the picture for a better view) For the preparation 3 and 4, the students need to combine all the elements they did in prep 1 and 2. The students need to combine the font studies + layout + in co-operate with the subject matter (first -hand studies) You can see, the design paper is very direct and focus. At this prep 3 and 4, encourage your students to re-arrange the idea and emphasise the idea development with an interesting composition, proportion and colour choices. In between the process, we as a teacher, we have to give some design input/knowledge/exposure to help them to learn how to improvise idea from the research and the subject matters.

Adrian Deckbar was born and raised in New Orleans. She earned a BA in Painting and Drawing at the University of Louisiana (now ULL) in 1973. She then earned an MA in Painting and Drawing at San Francisco State University under the renowned photorealist artist Robert Bechtle. Later, at Tulane University, she received an MFA, also in Painting and Drawing. She has taught Painting and Drawing classes at Tulane University, The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and at San Francisco State University. She has also taught workshops including The Bascom in Highlands, NC, The Mississippi Art Colony, The Arkansas Craft School, and The Prince’s Foundation for Rebuilding the Environment in New Orleans, and Sketching in Provence, Umbria, and Northern Italy. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections in the US and abroad. She has received grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Pollack Krasner Foundation, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and the Gottlieb Foundation. In 2008, Deckbar published a book of her work with a grant from Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation, entitled, Continuum: Moving Through A Still Frame. Deckbar is currently working on a new series of paintings titled Movie Stills. These new paintings depict women who are aware that they are objectified, yet mysterious, weary and yet defiant. Her incredible mastery of photo realism, combined with an awareness of the times we live in, and all the emotional weight that carries, finds her in a unique place in the art world.

Dear all, I am so proud to share the work of my students which I graded A* for the June 2020 Art IGCSE. Here we go! First set is from Keesha and for the Coursework (Paper 1) she did 'Changing Times' topic, taking her grandmother (Chinese Peranakan), mother (Indian) and youngest sister (Cindian) as her main subject matters for the creative process through out the Coursework journey. Coursework (Paper 1) 'Changing Times' Final Piece Externally Set Assignment (Paper 2) : 'Rush Hour' Final Piece ************************************** Second set is from Natasha and for the Coursework (Paper 1) she did 'Captured' topic, combining her passion in photography and painting-related media art. She decided to captured things inside her house, considering the Composition and adding in her image and the camera for her subject matters. She doesn't want to do Photography because she wanted to challenge herself in doing Painting-related media for her Coursework. Natasha's Coursework (Paper 1) 'Captured' Final Piece Natasha's Externally Set Assignment (Paper 2) : Front Cover Magazine Design titled 'Construction' Final Piece **************************************** June Series has been crazy with a lot of conflict regarding grades and such. One thing for sure, the pandemic is no joke! I decided to grade both of them an A* because I think they deserved the grade despite pandemic (lockdown/Mco), they both really put an extra effort in all the work, especially for ESA (Paper 2)! We communicate a lot with WhatsApp, online meet and we keep in touch from time to time and I AM SO SO PROUD OF THEM and they did well in both papers. Grade submitted to Cambridge was A* for both. Then, Cambridge lower a grade down for Natasha even without seeing her work! Luckily Cambridge made a U-Turn and agreed with grades submitted by the teacher. I graded Keesha's work slightly higher A* by considering the consistency showed in both papers. Natasha, I graded an A* as well because her ESA paper showed good progress despite she chose to do Design for the paper. ******************************************* I'll share more on Coursework Grade A soon. If you have any question you can email me at [email protected] or [email protected] or you can DM me at my Instagram acc @artandfeeda Thank you! x

Well its back to school time, and in preperation for class I began looking up the topic of identity. This is one of the areas that my senior students must complete. I came accross this site and not only did it provide good ideas on identity projects, it provided many other ideas for art class, it is well worth a look. http://www.pbs.org/art21/education/studentartprojects/index.html#. Have any of you run a scheme of work on identity, if so please share. http://www.vam.ac.uk/school_stdnts/schools/projects/image_identity/image_identity_0607/index.html This site also has some excellent photographs of students art work. I found a great piece for an identity project too. I like the thumb prints/typography projects on this site. http://www.danieleatock.com/project/holley-portraits/ see the picture above.
