Grade:

Level:

Date of Assessment:

Have you shown research of Stuart Davis in your Developmental Workbook (DW)? Have you given a background to him and his style of Art. E.g. Cubism and Pop Art influences. Have you Described, Analyzed, Interpreted and Judged an artwork of his? Have you come to an understanding of how his simple shapes and complex compositions display the sounds of Jazz within a city environment. Have you tested out lines or shapes that reflect the different sounds of their chosen music? Color theory, line and pattern exploration exercises. Does your DW show research of your chosen city. Examples of landmarks, cafes, maps, color associations etc. Have you sketched some of these researched images and transformed them into musically inspired shapes. Students must provide a number of researched objects found within a specific urban environment, such as a night club, caf, highway, theme park, etc. A series HB pencil sketches conveying distorted figures to be produced. Have you reflected and evaluated your progress at regular intervals. E.g on your design experiments and technical trials. Have you documented the color work that you did during the workshop by Benedicte Gimmonet. What you learned etc. Have you planned your composition in your DW through thumbnails etc. See examples below
