Independent Study Task - Cut Up Technique

Task
Research the 'Cut Up Technique' and present your findings in your sketchbook. 
Look further than Wikipedia.
Your findings should include:

• a comprehension response (explain)  - describe what it is, what is it for and identify key players, show examples
• an analytical response (compare and contrast)  - criticise the technique and judge where you think it could be used to its full potential
• a creative response (use your imagination) - how would you develop this idea? In what other ways could it be used? How can it be explored? 
• a research response (dig deeper)  Have you found other methods that are similar or linked?

It is important that your annotation is well researched, thought out and expressed. It is also vitally important that your pages are presented in a creative and interesting way. Have fun with it.

Deadline: start of lesson Wed 4th of October.

Good and Bad sketchbooks

Reading and note-taking task 1

(Above are two ways of taking notes from a short chapter. The top one takes longer but is much more helpful when attempting to remember and recall information.)

Objective

To give you an overview of the history of - and recent developments of - graphic communication in order to inform your written analysis work.

Task

Read Books Without Words

N.B. Don't be put off, use a dictionary and the web for help. You are entering the world of grown-up reading with big words and concepts — if you don't work at it, you won't get it. Use a dictionary.

Take notes and make drawings in your sketchbook.Get firmly into the habit of drawing whilst you are note taking. Explain visually as well as with writing.

Collect 3 questions about the text for me or the group to answer.

Presentation

Presentation of your work is very important. Your pages should be things of beauty.

What makes a Corita Kent?

Covering your sketchbook.

Objective

As you are a Graphic Communication, you will need to communicate your magic powers to the general public! To do this you will create a beautiful sketchbook cover from stuff you have collected.

Task

Create a Pinboard that is full of stuff you could cover your sketchbook with. Consider stickers, photos, artwork, illustrations, patterns, textures, maps, stamps, labels etc etc.

We will be pasting them into Photoshop and resizing them, so there is no need to print anything off just yet.
