Elaborations
- • Elaboration preparing artworks for display within the school environment; for example, measuring and making frames or stands for artworks, using repurposed/recycled materials, measuring artworks and spaces between so that, for example, they have an identical height from the floor and are spaced at equal distances; writing and positioning written labels for each artwork with information about the work and the artist; and considering the best way to arrange the space to engage the audience
- • Elaboration exploring digital methods of encoding information in artworks to share with audiences; for example, by using image coding software or QR codes
- • Elaboration working collaboratively to create an online exhibition of student work; for example, on a school learning management system.
- • Elaboration exploring options for sharing work in public spaces; for example, in café galleries, public exhibition spaces or through community arts events
- • Elaboration selecting and arranging evidence of their learning from their investigations, experiments and reflections in a way that communicates the development of their ideas and understandings, and sharing this with their teacher
- • Elaboration considering artworks that represent a spatial awareness in digital or physical forms; for example, experimenting with Augmented Reality to place collage, objects or forms in space as a layer over what we see as “reality” digitally, or by arranging objects in physical space with transparent attachments, and producing a short moving image work to map how the visual assets change depending on point of view of the audience
- • Elaboration creating a set of art labels to accompany artworks in a class exhibition of student work; for example, labels that inform audiences about the artist and their intentions, an exhibition introduction, advertising material and reviews
