Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4:Consolidate, present and conserve Area of Study Outcome Assessment On completion of this unit the student should be able to refine and resolve at least one finished artwork in a specific art form and document the materials, techniques and processes used in art making. School- assessed Task Area of Study 1 Consolidate refine and resolve On completion of this unit the student should be able to plan and display at least one finished artwork in a specific art form, and present a critique. Area of Study 2 Present plan and critique On completion of this unit the student should understand the presentation, conservation and care of artworks, including the conservation and care of their own artworks. School- assessed Coursework Area of Study 3 Conserve present and care
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Finished artworks In Unit 4 students make connections to the artworks they have made in Unit 3, consolidating and extending their ideas and art making to further refine and resolve artworks in specific art forms. The progressive resolution of these artworks is documented in the student s Visual Arts journal, demonstrating their developing technical skills in a specific art form as well as their refinement and resolution of subject matter, ideas, visual language, aesthetic qualities and style. Throughout the unit students demonstrate their ability to communicate to others about their artworks. Students articulate the development of subject matter, ideas, visual language, their choice of materials, their understanding of the inherent characteristics and properties of the material, their use of techniques and processes, and aesthetic qualities. Acting on their critique from Unit 3, students further develop their ideas and broaden their thinking to make new artworks.
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Visual Journal The Visual Arts journal in Unit 4 includes: the continued development of the student s own art making in a specific art form evaluation of art making in a specific art form the visual documentation of the processes used for finalising artworks annotations to support visual documentation research into the connections between specific artists and artworks and the student s own artworks research about the presentation of artworks in exhibitions research undertaken for conservation and care of artworks research about the selection of artworks for display and the planning of exhibitions written and visual research to make connections with specific artists and artwork.

Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 1 Assessment Students make at least one finished artwork in a specific art form that expands on the artworks that they completed in Unit 3. At least one finished artwork must: demonstrate the refinement of materials, techniques and processes explored in Unit 3, in a specific art form demonstrate the extension and resolution of subject matter and ideas from Unit 3 demonstrate the resolution of visual language in the finished artwork. Students present the documentation used to inform art making in a Visual Arts journal, including reflection on and evaluation of the resolution and refinement of at least one finished artwork.

Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Teaching and Learning Ideas Plan for the display of one artwork for a specific exhibition space that the students has visited or hypothetical based upon knowledge and understanding of exhibition spaces. Document the planning of the display in the Visual Arts Journal Write a short statement that provides an overview of at least one finished artwork that defines the student s intentions and the artwork s didactic information. Document the overview in the Visual Arts Journal and use this information as a starting point to prepare a presentation for the critique. Explain and illustrate how at least one finished artwork should be displayed, packed for transport and correctly stored. Provide detailed explanations and use step by step instructions, illustrations and images to show how the artworks should be, packed and unpacked prior to and after display. Explain and discuss the presentation of at least one finished artwork and include reference to any of the following considerations- artwork dimensions, cases or cabinets, framing, floor treatment, hang height, lighting, plinths, wall colour, relationship to the exhibition space and other artworks. During the critique, the Art Making and Exhibiting class can ask questions to the student presenting, to support reflection and explain the decisions they made while making artworks.
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Detailed learning example Presenting Illustrate, explain and discuss the presentation of at least one finished artwork and include reference to any of the following considerations: artwork dimensions cases or cabinets framing floor treatment hang height lighting plinths wall colour relationship to the exhibition space and other artworks Vitrines
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Detailed learning example Finding a hypothetical gallery space to display the artwork 1. Collect images of empty gallery spaces from the Internet. 2. Use images that are higher in resolution and can be imported into an image editing program such as Photoshop. 3. Import selected images of the empty gallery space into the image editing program and place photographs of at least one finished artwork into the selected spaces to demonstrate how the artwork should be presented in a gallery. Display Considerations - Lighting 1. Consider how lighting will affect the display of at least one finished artwork. 2. What lighting improves the appearance of the artwork and what type of lighting will create distractions? 3. How will the lighting temperature also affect the display of the artwork? 4. Record and document the ideal type of lighting that will complement the display of at least one finished artwork in the Visual Arts Journal.
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Detailed learning example Extension Activity Use the images of hypothetical exhibition space to make a maquette using foam- core or cardboard. Place the image of the finished artwork in the model to demonstrate how it will be displayed in space. Consider including images of artworks made during Unit 3 alongside images of artworks selected for study in Unit 3 Outcome 1 to create a model of an exhibition, alongside artworks that influenced the finished artworks. Document the maquette using photographs and place the images in the Visual Arts Journal.
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 1 and 2 Assessment
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Assessment Students present a display and critique of at least one finished artwork to their peers or another group. For the task they: document the planning for the display of at least one finished artwork display at least one finished artwork, considering the specific exhibition space discuss their art making discuss the representation of subject matter and ideas and communication of meaning in at least one finished artwork reflect on written or verbal feedback from the critique.
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Assessment Example Presenting Illustrate, explain and discuss the presentation of at least one finished artwork and include reference to any of the following considerations: artwork dimensions cases or cabinets framing floor treatment hang height lighting plinths wall colour relationship to the exhibition space and other artworks Vitrines
Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 2 Assessment Example Critique Prepare a presentation that will support the delivery of a critique that explains the student s thinking and art making. The presentation needs to address the following: Development of ideas Use of visual language Presentation of artwork Resolution and refinement of at least one finished artwork. Conservation and care Identify the properties and characteristics of materials used to make at least one finished artwork. Record these observations using written and visual material in the Visual Arts Journal to explain: the conditions required to display, transport and store these objects the changes that will occur to materials over time and in specific conditions the measures and processes used to delay and minimise changes to materials over time. Present the findings in a report with the presentation of the artwork.
