Exhibition

You will select a sample of resolved work and reflect on what makes these effective pieces for exhibition, particularly in response to your own clearly stated intentions and the messages you wanted to communicate about your artwork.
You will submit for assessment
|
This should be your best work. It can and should be in your best media. While you may include work in a variety of media, you need to remember examiners are looking at how your exibition presents a COHERENT body of work. So don't include something if it doesn't "fit" or if it is not technically your best work.
Take photos of your work as you go, don't save this until the end! Examiners will zoom in to see your work.
The Exhibition Text is a very essential component, what you say about your work matters. Be sure to acknowledge artists that have inspired your work. Look back through your PP to find what influenced you as you went.
Every school sets up their Exhibition differently. Here are some ways that other schools do it:

Every school sets up their Exhibition differently. Here are some ways that other schools do it:
- As an open day within the school in March (in the Hallway, in the Canteen, in the Drama Studio)
- Students have individual 1 day exhibitions within the school for assessment, and a celebratory exhibition for parents
- Build walls within a large space to display, build plinths, and other artwork specific display
Resolved Artworks
The selected pieces should show evidence of
NOTE: Any resolved works submitted as part of the PP cannot be re-submitted in the Exhibition. Preliminary work as studies for resolved work in the exhibition is of course encouraged in the PP.
- your technical accomplishment
- an understanding of the use of materials, ideas and practices appropriate to visual communication

- soft even lighting
- 2D work should be flat against a surface so the edges are aligned
- 3D work should include an overall photo, plus supporting photos or short video as appropriate
- re-position
- crop
- adjust for brightness, colour, etc
