C. VAPD
Your Visual Arts Process diary in is a very important record of your choices, reasons for decisions, and directions in material usage, and docment of theory work. You need to keep this up to date with class work and handouts give to you in class. Date all pages and have a creative approach to each page. This Diary is a key to the success of your overall Visual Arts progress.
Criteria C
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 around examples, 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 of inquiry. Any new understandings which you have on this topic are to be linked to the unit questions components.
