Student Instruction Sheet
________________________________________________________________________
There are 4 tasks within this assessment that will help you to generate and develop ideas
for a large scale ‘Cut-out’ sculpture. You will use a study of the artworks by various artists
– William Morris, Peter Callesen, Chris Natrop - to clarify your ideas using techniques and
conventions appropriate to sculpture. You will need to provide evidence showing how this
has been done through drawings, annotations, Marquette making and your final sculpture
– submit in your A3 Clearfile.
Task A:
Artist Model Research
Task B:
New Zealand Native Bush Research
Task C:
Development of Ideas – (including Marquette making)
Task D:
Sculpture Construction

Your Teacher will introduce you to Sculptors who use ‘paper’ as the main medium for their
sculpture work and an artist who creates textile and wallpaper designs using birds and
plants. The artists you will be introduced to are William Morris, Peter Callesen and Chris
Natrop. You teacher will introduce these artists in class using a power-point presentation.
You will then be expected to research these artists (online) and collate a range of images
from their work which you think will be inspirational for your own ‘cut-out’ sculpture.
Remember: to label the artwork imagery with the Artist, title and date of the work.
1 x A3 page
Task B: New Zealand Native Bush Research
Situation: You have been asked to create your own ‘cut-out’ sculpture using the New
Zealand Native bush as the basis for the design. To begin you will need to decide on two
native trees and a New Zealand bird to create an interesting ‘cut-out’ sculpture. Using the
internet, books provided and Native plants found at school (or at home), collate at least 1 x
A4 page of images of your chosen Native bush elements. Try to find images which show a
range of aspects of your chosen objects e.g. whole views, close ups, leaves, feathers,
different angles etc. If you are using the internet as a source, make sure the images are of
good quality (high resolution). Using these images you will be required to complete 4 x
pencil drawings of different aspects of your chosen elements (1 x A3 pg)
1 x A4 page
1 x A3 page
Task C: Development of Ideas
Positive/Negative space studies:
Now that you have an understanding of ‘cut-out’ sculpture and have chosen your New
Zealand Native bush elements, you will now complete at least 2 x A3 studies looking at
how your objects work in both positive and negative space. You will complete these using
black and white paper. This information will be used to help you to develop ideas about
your ‘cut-out’ and will influence your final sculpture. (Refer: exemplar)
2 x A3 pages
Sculpture Concepts:
Using the knowledge you have gained from all of the above tasks, you will now complete
6 x cut-out sculpture concepts. These will be drawn on 1 x A3 page and you should
consider the following: (you may notate around your drawings)
- How will you incorporate both your own and your chosen sculptor models ideas?
- How will your ‘cut-out’ look once completed?
- Portrait/Landscape format?
- Will the positive or negative space be the focus?
- Black/white paper? (you will be given the choice of A1 sized black or white paper)

Cut-out Marquettes:
Choose two of your sculpture concepts (the ones you think would make the best final
sculptures). Using A4 paper – create 2 x marquettes (a small preliminary model of a
sculpture) of your sculpture. Include all of the details. This is like a ‘testing’ stage – an
opportunity to find problems/solutions with your sculpture before you start the final work.
If your Marquette is particularly 3 dimensional you will need to take photos of how it would
look and include these with your marquettes in your clearfile.
2 x A3 pages
Task D: Sculpture Construction
Using the knowledge you have gained from Task C you will now complete an A1 sized
final cut-out sculpture. You will be given the choice between black or white paper.
Your work will either be hung or laid flat on a plain surface. Your work will be
photographed at different angles and - due to the fragile nature of this type of sculpture these photos will be the main record of your work. Include a range of these photos on an
A3 page in your clearfile.
Once completed you will complete a short evaluation of your work - this process is
important and will help you to understand the purpose of your work, the choices you have
made, and why the work looks the way it does. You will be developing your ability to
understand your work critically, and this will help you when making decisions in future
assignments.
Answer these questions in detail…
1. What worked well with your sculpture?
2. What did not work so successfully?
3. What artist models are evident in this work? Why did you choose each – concepts?
techniques?
4. Would you change anything with your final sculpture?
1 x A3 page
(minimum)
Submit all of your work (except the final sculpture) in your A3 Clearfile for marking.
