Mounting and Presenting Students Work

Join us for a session on developing a great sketchbook with Nicky Simpson. Student sketchbooks will demonstrate their creative process, showing initial ideas, links to artists/designers to development of ideas.

How can your students ‘demonstrate the ability to construct a sustained line of reasoning, which is coherent, relevant, substantiated and logically structured’, in their sketchbook.
How can a student present ‘all their knowledge, skills, understanding and activities relevant to their creative journey’.
The sketchbook should demonstrate a ‘substantive, focused project, a progression of ideas rather than a series of disjointed tasks, and work should evidence all the Assessment Objectives holistically as well as cover the chosen areas of study’.

• What is the best way to mount and present students work?
• How can students work independently in their sketchbooks
• Where and how to present annotation
• How to cover all the assessment objectives
• How to make connections to artists and designers, primary, mark making and developed work.
