Virtual Exhibition: KS4 Assured Art and Design in Action
Over two years, students explore four Modules. Cabinets of Curiosity: assemblage art, Art of Paper: using paper to communicate, and Futurescapes: reimagining the urban landscape through illustration.
Cabinets of Curiosity: Understanding assemblage art and the ready-made.
Students must research various artists creating assemblage artworks using found objects and ready-mades as their medium and then create personal responses to this research using the theme of ‘Cabinets of Curiosity’. Students should explore symbolism and visual metaphor to communicate connections between objects in a personal and conceptual response presented as their final piece.
The Art of Paper: Exploring the potential of paper to communicate a concept.
Students must research various artists and artworks using paper and performance art/video as mediums and then create personal responses to this research using the theme of ‘narrative’. In this way, students should explore the potential of paper to communicate a concept in a personal and conceptual response presented as their final piece.
Futurescapes: Reimagining the urban landscape through illustration.
Students must research various artists and artworks and create personal responses to this research using the theme ‘Futurescapes: reimagining the urban landscape through illustration’. Students produce a research presentation, essay and portfolio of experiments. Students will use their research, exploration, and analysis to then explore ideas for an individual and unique response to the theme by producing a final piece.
