5. Identify the pictorial issues relevant to the drawing as you initiate it, and in reference to the process/method and artist reference selected. These are some of the elements of composition Some will be more important than others in a work. WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY PICTORIAL ELEMENTS AND HOW ARE THEY USED TO MAKE A UNIQUE WORK? The organization of these elements makes up what is known as the COMPOSITION of an artwork. When analyzing the composition or the PICTORIAL ISSUES in an Artwork you need to identify the particular elements evident in the work and the way the artist uses them. All artists work with a personal vocabulary. The vocabulary of an artist consists of pictorial elements, and the particular combination of elements that an artist employs contributes to their personal style. In the process of selecting subject matter for study, the potential of the subject in terms of providing pictorial issues for development in the students own work should be identified. PICTORIAL ISSUES Using Drawing to present a practical study of the selected tradition, identify the subject & the pictorial issues relevant. Drawing is the CENTRAL means of generating, analyzing, clarifying & regenerating ideas derived from the research or in depth study from the selected tradition. Demonstrate a depth &range of ideas & use a systematic & critical approach. Show purpose & understanding.

6. TASK 1 Select from ONE of the SUBJECT or THEMATIC categories as listed. Consider carefully & make sure that the subject or theme chosen is manageable, accessible & relevant, & of sufficient interest to sustain a years work RESEARCH the treatment of your subject within a historical & a contemporary context. Write an overview & provide examples to illustrate your comments. (Time frame One week) TASK 2 Select TWO ARTISTS & study ONE work from each. Comment on each work in depth & compare & contrast the way the two artists treat the subject. (To be recorded in the diary/workbook) (Time frame One week) TASK 3 Select a New Zealand artist & identify the tradition of the work selected (description & context) List the concepts & ideas in selected works & comment on how these relate to other work by the same artist. Discuss the LINKS between the identified tradition & the influences on the New Zealand artist studied. (Time frame One week) TASK 4 Produce a Portfolio of FIVE drawings & painting studies (Time frame for the drawing sequence: Two weeks) Use ONE of your selected artists AS A MODEL for the drawing portfolio. (The artist selected MUST represent relevant & contemporary practice) Critically analyse & discuss your own work & demonstrate through the practical investigation your understanding of the links between the selected tradition and relevant recent New Zealand and/or international practice. (Time frame One week) In the practical investigation you must work from the theme or SUBJECT MATTER selected for your research Record all the research information in your art diary including the practical investigation. Label & identify each task. Use your own words & identify any quotes with footnotes & acknowledge all source material Provide a BIBLIOGRAPHY for all tasks including web sites & internet addresses.
