Eg The pieces I have created in my folio are linked through subject matter and materials used. My
theme of adolescence and the mass media is evident in each of the pieces. My final folio of works has
achieved a further sense of cohesion by using the one art form, photography. Each artwork is linked
through the use of advertising and the use of photography reflects how society is bombarded by these
images.
8) Discuss how materials and techniques were applied in the final artworks
Here you need to state the materials and techniques used in the finished artworks. You need to present
a detailed description of the process and the application of various materials and techniques. You need
to make sure you use correct art terminology here and refer to the information given to you.
9) Explain how aesthetic qualities were resolved in the final artworks
Here you should write about the art elements and principles you used in your finished artworks and
how resolved you feel these are in your finished works.
Eg Aesthetically, I want my work to convey a sense of disarray and discord for the viewer.
Through the use of harsh lines and juxtaposing images, I believe that I have achieved this in my
images. The harsh and sharp lines are crucial to the overall finish of the work and I used a professional
cutting knife to achieve this.
10) Discuss the final presentation of the cohesive artworks
Here you are required to discuss the way in which you envisage your final works being presented. It is
important that you consider this very carefully as artworks can be presented in a multitude of ways.
You can include drawn plans here of how you see the works displayed in an art show. You need to
consider lighting, positioning and sequencing.
Eg I decided to present my finished works as a series of oil paintings on canvas. (a total of 7 works
on canvas ranging from 15cm to 35 cm squared). I see the works presented as a series from left to right
and that the images would be displayed fairly close to one another so that the viewer is able to make a
connection between the works. Framing is very important to my images as the rococo style of frames
reflects the idea of excess and consumerism a key concept which runs throughout my work.
You must use appropriate art terminology when writing your focus and evaluation statement (refer to
the sheets handed to you in unit 3 on the principles and elements of art).
