Transcript of IB Unit 2 Cardboard Fantastic
Corrugated board is a material that can be easily recycled over and over again. I see it as an endless supply source that I
purge from my trash and neighborhood, reusing it towards my creations.

RESEARCH
CULTURE/CONTEXTAnalysis and thoughtful comparison of
Art from different cultures and times, carefully considering its function
and significance
TECHNICAL/PROCESSDemonstration of a range of effective
skills, techniques and processes when making and analysing images and
artifacts
INVESTIGATIONDemonstrate coherent, focused and individual investigative strategies into
visual qualities, ideas and their context, a range of different approaches
towards their study and informed connections between them
DEPTH/BREADTHDemonstrate depth and breadth
through the successful development and synthesis of ideas and the well-explained connections between the
work and that of others
PRESENTATIONVOCABULARY
Demonstrate effective and accurate use of visual arts specialist vocabulary
ACKNOWLEDGE SOURCESThe use of a range of appropriate sources, which are acknowledged
properly
PRESENTATIONThe effective and creative presentation of work that demonstrates thoughtful,
critical observation, reflection and discrimination
INTEGRATIONThe presentation of a clear relationship between investigation and studio work
Investigate three different artists (contemporary & from different cultures) who have created Cardboard Art. Compare and contrast their work, identifying links and making connections between their work. Written information should be in your own words. Write 2-3 pages on each artist. Your entries should include both the facts you uncovered and your feelings and thoughts – what ideas do they give you? How can you use (or reject) the information you gather and why? What’s its function/significance?

Document your experiments with cardboard construction techniques with a camera. Research the knowledge needed to use this media well. What terms are associated with the media? What techniques? Research practitioners famous for using this media. Aim for five pages of media experiments.
Produce an in-depth investigation of one or more artworks relating to Cardboard Art. Evidence that you have considered the work’s visual, technical, historical, aesthetic and intellectual values. The more you investigate, probe and explore the more you will begin to develop your own individual approach to creating Cardboard Art. This development, and the way that it manifests itself in your work is crucial to a mature, sophisticated and evolved body of art.
Plan an exhibition on Cardboard Art. Select three other artists and their work - plan how to display their work and discuss why they were chosen. Then write up a catalogue for the exhibition which features a carefully written entry about what these artists have in common as well as the specific ways in which their work impacts upon this form of Art and its ideology. This should be about 3 pages long.
The presentation criteria should be evident within your research criteria pages. They should include evidence of:
• correct terminology and specialist vocabulary when writing as part of your research, investigation and experimentation.
• a wide range of resources such as books, journals, periodicals, art galleries, internet sources as part of your research. All sources should be cited properly using the MLA format. Use Easybib or Zotero to help you correctly cite sources.
• ideas should be presented effectively and creatively. Thoughtful observation and discrimination, both written and visual, should be evident.
• pages which link directly to your studio work. Documentation of studio work experiments which are developed further in the IWB.
In your Investigation Work Book, complete the following tasks:
UNDERSTANDINGDisplay an excellent understanding of the ideas and techniques that underpin artistic expression
RELEVANCEDemonstrate consistently the production of personally relevant artwork that shows excellent exploration of ideas reflecting cultural and historical awareness and artistic qualities
DEVELOPMENTDemonstrate thoughtful development of ideas and strategies for expression
SENSITIVITYDisplay a sensitivity to materials and their use, the work having been reviewed, modified and refined to an accomplished resolution of ideas and medium
TECHNIQUEDemonstrate excellent technical competence
CONFIDENCEDemonstrates confidence and inventiveness
INDEPENDENCEShows self-direction and informed, reflective judgement that challenges and extends personal boundaries
STUDIO CRITERIA
Cardboard Heaven by Nina Lindgren; Suit of Armour by Mark O’Brien; Lambretta by Chris Gilmour
Create an original piece of artwork using a single piece of cardboard. Your artwork should be informed by your investigation into the qualities of the material.
You should also seek inspiration in the ways other artists have developed their work
and how they have manipulated the medium to create textures, structures
and sculptural forms.
In your Studio Work:
Things to consider when developing your studio work:UnderstandingAre the ideas behind your studio work well suited to the techniques and media you have chosen? Can you explain the personal, cultural, visual meaning, purpose of your studio work?RelevanceHow are the ideas in your studio work connected to your own life and cultural background? Have you created strong, powerful pieces of Art which really mean something to you?DevelopmentHow much personal growth and improvement have you shown through your artwork? How have you developed as an artist? Can you distinguish the difference between your good and your weaker ideas?Sensitivity & TechniqueWhat visual effects do I want to create? How effective is the medium you have chosen at creating these techniques? Would it be better to use something else? Are you using your chosen medium with high levels of skill?Confidence & IndependenceHave you truly explored your ideas to create interesting, adventurous studio work or have you settled for the safe and obvious? Have you used any unusual or unexpected combinations of ideas and/or materials in your studio work? Does your work show truly independent research, or have you only researched the artists given to you by your teacher?
