It emphasizes using a sketchbook to work things out rather than producing only finished artwork, and it provides guidance on presentation quality, format, and reflective note-taking. The unit explains sketchbook functions such as idea recording, rough sketches, thumbnails, drawing and planning, then sets tasks including two self-portraits (dry and wet media), timed thumbnail composition exploration, and inside/outside space page drawings with perspective, depth, distance, and belonging as key aims.","Year 12  \nBridging Unit  \nWhat:  \nReaffirm the idea of a sketchbook as a tool for figuring things out.  \nPresent your artwork in a good quality sketchbook preferably A5 .  \nHow:  \nRead through the slides which discuss the practice of keeping a sketchbook, and give examples by well known artists.  \nComplete the tasks on slides 8, 9, and 10.  \nThe practice of ‘sketch-booking’…  \nKeeping a sketchbook is a widely adopted art practice. You might associate sketchbooks with something that is meticulously kept and presented (there is a tendency todo that at GCSE) however in reality working artists use sketchbooks very differently.  \nSketchbooks can be used for noting down ideas, rough sketches, collecting scrap bits of paper, thumbnail designs, drawing and planning. They rarely include finished pieces of work.  \nWe want you to keep this bridging unit sketchbook in a similar fashion, emulating a practicing artist and departing from the “perfect scrap book” sketchbook format you might be familiar with.  \nTake a look at the following exemplars of artists’sketchbooks to get an idea of how to keep yours …  \nFrida Kahlo  \nFrida Kahlo's life was expressed through her work. A chronological look at her artwork provides an understanding of the events that changed her life: her passions, motivations, disappointments, and desires. Painting was cathartic for her, however, writing and keeping a diary also helped her to establish a relationship with herself, and to find away of expressing her afflictions during the final 10 years of her life.  \nKahlo found that writing, as well as painting, was useful not just for communicating with her family and friends—and also as a way of connecting with her own feelings, conveying her ideas on her artistic practice, and expressing her worries and pains, both physical and emotional.  \nChandler O’Leary  \nGuillermo Del Toro  \nJesus Cisneros  \nSelf Portrait  \nSelf-portraits continue to be a recurring, fundamental theme in many artists’ practice. Why do you think this might be? Is it because artists are narcissistic? Or are the reasons for self-portrait’s popularity far more practical?  \nI want you to create two self-portraits, one using a dry medium and one in wet medium. Before you get started on drawing/ painting you need to watch the video (in full) and use its tips to go forward i.e. set up, thumbnail sketches.  \nReflect on anything new that you might have picked up from the video, excerpts and article from Art Pedagogy, and list how you have applied this in practice. This can take form of a quick informal note underneath/ next to your drawings.  \nWatch in full and follow tips:  \n[https://www.youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com)[ ](https://www.youtube.com)[/watch?v=MKL-57HexCk](/watch?v=MKL-57HexCk)  \nRead and reflect on the questions in this article:  \nPart 1:  \n[https://www.artpedagogy](https://www.artpedagogy). com/self-portraits-pt1-  \nabout-face.html Part 2:  \n[https://www.artpedagogy](https://www.artpedagogy). com/self-portraits-pt2-more-than-just-a-prettyface.html  \nSuccess criteria:  \n- Watched Video & Read Articles (40 minutes)  \n- Drawing space set up with mirror (you don’t need a stand if you don’t have one, make do with what you have on hand)  \n- Create 4 pencil thumbnail sketches exploring different compositions in sketchbook (10 minutes)  \n- Dry Medium drawing i.e. coloured pencil, oil pastel (40mins)  \n- Wet medium drawing [i.e. ink](i.e. ink), watercolour (refer to Art pedagogy for colour tips) (40mins)  \n- Short written reflections in sketchbook  \nA suggestion of laying out your pages/ spreading the work:  \nPage 1) preface  \nPage 2) Thumbnails/ about self portrait Page 3 + 4) Self Portraits and notes  \n\n| \u003Cbr>2 | | Page 1\u003Cbr>Inside |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |\n\nPage 2  \nOutside  \nFill two sketchbook pages:  \nThe first, dedicated to “inside” spaces. The second, to outside spaces. These can be drawn out of the window.  \nAim to spend around 1h on each page.  \nYou can either do one big drawing","cbCaiuraVTc3tAB2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuraVTc3tAB2","pdf",3182959,1,10,"English","en",105,"# Year 12 Bridging Unit\n## Sketchbook purpose and approach\n## Key tasks and success criteria\n## Page layout and inside/outside drawings","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the bridging unit sketchbook?\",\"answer\":\"To reaffirm the sketchbook as a tool for figuring things out and working like a practicing artist, not as a “perfect scrap book” containing mostly finished pieces.\"},{\"question\":\"What work do you need to complete for the self-portrait tasks?\",\"answer\":\"Create two self-portraits: one using a dry medium and one using a wet medium, after watching the full video and using its tips such as setup and thumbnail sketches.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the success criteria and time expectations?\",\"answer\":\"Watch the video and read the articles (about 40 minutes), set up a drawing space with a mirror, complete four pencil thumbnail sketches (10 minutes), produce both dry and wet medium drawings (about 40 minutes each), and add short written reflections in the sketchbook.\"}]","Year 12 Bridging Unit -
