For my Grade 9s .... This term, we will be constructing an infographic on the print below. This can be on paper or digital. You will have two lessons for this (and homework!).
Diane Victor "Weighing and Wanting" 2005
LINK to a presentation on this print. You will find all the instructions in this link. LINK to Art for Humanity Read the poetry here for a good indication of the meaning of the piece.
•Videos
are normally already hosted on the cloud – e.g. YouTube
•You
will therefore basically LINK them to your content on your GAFE Drive and to
your blog
•If
you want to play a video in class, then download it first and keep it on the DGHS server – SA bandwidth
is terrible!
This looks like an actual video - but it's not - it's a link to a video. Your learners can view it at home or anywhere that has good Internet download speed. They like to download it at night (cheaper rates; less busy) and watch it the next day.
This particular video is only 21MB, so plays instantly. Check your video size before using.
For my Grade 12s ........ Please use this memo to add any of the South African 'unseens' to your personal collection, as you MUST study 3 examples for each theme. Pay special attention to the comments about exam technique.
For my Grade 12s ............. This post has been updated for you to use while studying at home.

Let's concentrate on our collection of chosen artworks that are good examples for the FIVE themes we have studied in class. Some examples can be used in either of two themes BUT you must explain in your essay why the example is relevant to that theme - i.e. focus on that theme. Dust off your infographics, grab some Post-it notes - we're going for 100% for your upcoming Final theory exam! Optional: Order your CD collection or put the collection on your flash. However, your infographics should already have all the content you need.
Look at the Exemplar and its Memo on the DoE website - it gives you valuable information. This site works for all your subjects - not just Visual Arts.......LINK
Look at the Trials paper Memo - this will also be invaluable for final revision. You also have this link as a QR code on your Trials question paper.......LINK
For my Grade 10s....... Working in 3 dimensions - in real space and with actual 3-D form - is very important in Art. When you start, it is essential that you try baby steps first so that you don't get frustrated. Clay has a mind of its own and you need to learn to work WITH this material and not try to impose your will on it - you will not succeed! We will start off looking at CLOSED forms with an animal theme. Follow this LINK for details.

Checklist: Have you done and documented Activity 1 on Google Slides? Have you shared this with me? Have you researched African ceramic animals and added this to your Slides? Have you drawn your idea showing 3-D semi-closed form?
Your LINK to Andries Botha - Afrikaner c 1600 Here is a LINK to the National Memo where this work was discussed. It is Question 5 and is a good resource!
LINK to your self-evaluation for your Trials Practical Exam. I strongly recommend that you do this and we can print a copy of your marked email return to put into your sourcebook for the moderator to see.
