Practical Tasks for Exam Project: ‘Order and / or Disorder’
Order and / or Disorder:
What do I need to do to successfully prepare for my exam?...
 Firstly: you need to do research.
 Research into artists, case studies, books, anything that inspires you
or makes you think it links with the theme.
 You can discuss potential ideas with classmates but you must
individually show a process of ideas in your sketchbook which leads to
your final concept. Include lots of samples, samples, SAMPLES!!!
 If you do your own research independently you are more likely to
come up with a final idea which motivates you to complete it.
Make it personal to you, something you are interested in - that is
what art is about. The theme is very open and can be related to many
possibilities, so have fun with it!

never normally be viewed together).

Create either blind contour drawings or continuous
line drawings of objects you feel have an order or
connection to each other: theme, colour, size, shape,
material... (for example round objects, green objects,
shoes, bottles, etc.)
Either: Use string, wire, wool or embroidery thread to
reproduce your drawings either onto fabric or onto
dissolvable fabric to create a hollow installation.
Photograph or present directly into your sketchbook.
Alternatively: Take inspiration from Clare Knox
Bentham and use a melted plastic process by placing
twisted pieces of plastic bag between layers of cling
film and ironing them together. This will bond and
fuse the plastic – make sure you put layers of
newspaper between the iron and the cling film first!
