Unit 4 - 1:2 Apply
understanding of materials & processes to support own A&D activities.
This simply means that you demonstrate the use of the correct materials for the job, supported by explanations as to why you've made specific choices.
Additionally you could explore other options, explaining why you might choose a particular material over another. Ideally, whatever processes and materials you're introduced to you should...
1. Use the materials and have examples of them in your sketchbook along with explanations as to how you've used them and their pro's and cons. Write up the work as though you are trying to explain their use to someone trying to learn how and why they are used. Show examples of the work at key stages as it's produced, showing and explaining the intermediate stages.
2. Use the processes and have examples of them explained and described in your sketchbook along with explanations as to how you've used them and their pro's and cons. Write up the work as though you are trying to explain their use to someone trying to learn how and why they are used. Show examples of the work at key stages as it's produced, showing and explaining the intermediate stages.
For example you have already used Pinhole cameras. You could photograph the camera you've used. Explain what the camera is made of (materials). Explain how the camera is loaded and what materials you use in the camera (Photo-paper) what are the properties of these materials and what is the processes required to form an image on the paper. Explanations, examples and diagrams will all gain you higher grades.
