Selecting work for the Exhibition
Choose the strongest, most resolved artworks which show these qualities
• technical competence
• appropriate use of materials, techniques, processes
• work which communicates the stated intentions
• cohesiveness, unity among the works
• breadth and depth
• consideration for the overall experience of the viewer (through exhibition, display or presentation).
(note: students can present work for the exhibition in any medium, having met the requirements for the Process Portfolio of working in a range of art making forms)
Other Requirements
Exhibition Text
For
each piece included students write a brief exhibition text (a few
lines) which states the title, medium, size and a brief outline of the
original intentions.
Exhibition Overview Photos
Students
may include two photographs of the overall exhibition. This is not for
assessment purposes but to help the moderator (who won't see the actual
exhibition) better understand the overall layout and experience.
(note: only include the exhibition artworks submitted for assessment in the photos)
Additional Supporting Photos (optional)
Students
may choose to include up to two additional photographs of each
submitted work. This is intended to provide a sense of scale when
showing large works or for pieces that have more than one viewpoint,
such as sculpture or installation. These extra photos are not necessary
for most studio pieces.
The role of the Visual Arts Journal in the exhibition
Throughout
the course students can use their visual arts journal to make notes of
and reflect on their intentions while making their work, and they can be
encouraged to document the developments of this thought process.
For the Curatorial Rationale students can make selections from and adapt passages from their journal.
The
Visual Journal can also be used to plan the exhibition, consider the
space, the display, the sequencing, the viewers role, and other
curatorial issues.
