Students develop skills in selecting and using some of the conventions and procedures of the art making practice and approaches to design from the Art Nouveau period. Students make artworks ranging from digital works to a serious of lino prints building on their understanding of the Structural and subjective frames. Students will explore the notion of personal taste and consider wether taste is influenced or simply inate!
CRITERIA A
After textbook and library research; select an Art Nouveau artwork . Imagine you are standing in front of this artwork at a gallery.
What is your initial response to the work, how does it make you feel, does it remind you of a place, time or event?(Subjective frame)
Think about how the work has been physically composed and constructed. Discuss how the artist chose to depict the subject matter. What signs or symbols are evident?(Structural Frame, Materials, techniques, size, form etc.)
What is the style or period or art movement that this artwork references? Discuss the objectives and design philosophy of the movement, linking it to the unit question- (Conceptual framework)
Is taste a result of education and awareness to elite cultural values?
CRITERIA B
Students will create a Photoshop image resembling art works from the Art Nouveau period, this image will be utilised as reference for their lino cut print. Students must consider the printing meduim when designing their images for effective final presentation.
C.Students are to display and document their experimentation with 2D forms in their VAPD. Examples of this experimentation should be included and comments relating to the procedures of this experimentation should also be noted in an appropriate manner as outlined by VAPD structures

You should critically reflect on your artistic development in your work. Your regular VAPD entries should be dated and clearly reflect your journey through evaluation on your strengths and weaknesses, problems and solutions. You should evaluate the choices that you make and the thoughts behind these. Did your receive any feedback from your teacher or other students which has shaped your choices and directions? The use of annotation and speech boxes aroundexamples, images and sketches is an effective use of space. Attention to clarity, turning points in understanding, and discoveries are more important than exhaustive length and wordy paragraphs of text. Use high lighters and colours in your VAPD to promote important ideas.At the conclusion of the unit reflect on the unit question with a paragraph which draws on knowledge you have gained throughout the unit ofinquiry. Any new understandings which you have on this topic are to be linked to the unit questions components.CRITERIA D
Students are required to produce a series of stylized Art Nouveau lino cut prints, demonstrating their understanding of materials and techniques. An individualized response should be evident through a conceptual depth in your artworks composition and subject matter.Your ability to determine appropriate usage of your media for conceptual and technical strength will be assessed. Completion, resolution and presentation is important to succeed in this task.
