PP CONTENT

A. WRITING TIPS

Anchor 1

1. Create a Narrative for your PP

Consider how each work can lead onto the next work
At the end of Work, you can include in the Reflection :
- Eg. I felt that I could have explored with making my own paper for print-making, which will lead onto my next work which I explore
- Eg. After exploring the concept of ..., I wanted to dive more into …. in my next work.

2. PP is not a Recipe Book

PP is not a step by step instruction book to make your work
- It’s a Reflective Process portfolio (like a journal that documents your art-making process)
Make it engaging for your marker to read
Constantly elaborate on your thought process & considerations at every step
- Eg. After considering …., I choose this material as ….
- Eg. I felt that (the concept of …) is not as present in the first idea, thus …..
- Eg. After experimenting with … , I decided ….

C. SAMPLE FORMAT

Note that this is a rough Sample format from my own art-making process, & everyone has their approaches when it comes to art-making, so feel free to or not reference it! Feel free to also rearrange the sequencing of the slides too!

SAMPLE ART-MAKING PROCESS

IDEATION

Coming up with the Concept & Ideas

EXECUTION

Making of Final work
How it is exhibited

RESEARCH

Primary or Secondary research

ART REFERENCE

Reference to Art movement or Artis

EXPERIMENTATION

Experimenting with different techniques/ mediums/composition
Include Reflection along the way

EXPLORATION

Exploring different mediums, ideas etc.
Can be considered Primary Research

EXAMINE

Narrowing down your concepts & Ideas
"Conceptual Experimentation"
Include Reflection

SLIDE 1 : IDEATION & ARTIST REFERENCES

Conceptual Development
- How you came up with the concept and the ideas for the work
  - Eg. Choice of medium
Doing some primary research or secondary research into it
- Primary Research :
  - Eg. On site sketches/study, Interviews
- Secondary Research :
  - Eg. Articles, Wikipedia, Books
Artist References (At least half of slide)
- When referencing, talk about the aspects of the work that applicable to yours

SLIDE 2 : EXPLORATION & EXPERIMENTATION

Exploring & Experimenting with Mediums/Compositions etc.
Include some Early Sketches
- Sketches also helps to show your skills in understanding your subject & looks good visually

SLIDE 3 : EXPERIMENTATION + REFLECTION

Technical Experimentations
- Eg. Show the failures eg. Trail 1, Trail 2, trail 3
- Reflect along the way on why Trial 1 & 2 did not work which led to Trial 3 working

SLIDE 4 : EXPERIMENTATION & EXECUTION + REFLECTION

Technical Execution (Making of the final work)
Make sure to have Reflection along the way

SLIDE 5 : EXECUTION + REFLECTION

Technical Execution (Making the final work)
Show the Final Work (Optional)
Show how you choose to exhibit it (Optional)
- Elaborate on your thought process
Can Include Reflection on the work & how knowing this can led to the next work
