Planning space

ConceptPaper One is a practical examination. You are required to create a resolved artwork or artworks in response to a concept. Use one or more of the focuses developed from the concept to construct your response.

The concept for 2016 is Excess.

The stimulus materials in this book are organised into three focus areas:

• Focus 1 — Desired

• Focus 2 — Compulsivity

• Focus 3 — Scarcity.

Each focus defines possible artist interpretations and responses to the concept of excess.

Your artwork/s may incorporate two-dimensional or low-relief resources. Your artwork/s may be one or more of the following:

• a literal representation of the concept

• a symbolic interpretation that identifies and depicts representations associated with your experiences relating to the concept

• an abstract and non-representational interpretation that deals with a highly personalised response to the concept

• a metaphoric representation that communicates something about your interpretation of the concept.

1

For your resolved artwork/s you may present visual interpretations of one or more of the following focuses derived from the concept of excess.

Focus 1 — Desired images and objects that visually represent what people perceive as needed, acceptable or desirable.

Focus 2 — Compulsivity to explore what drives people to create images and objects that explore what is obsessive or compelling.

Focus 3 — Scarcity within the context of social issues and cultural concerns of deficiency.

The work may be submitted in the artwork book and/or on A2 art paper. If you wish, you may remove images from this book and incorporate them into your response. Ask the supervisor for another copy of the paper if you need one. Submit your working ideas in the artwork book. You may also provide a rationale for your work, if you wish.

Focus 1 — Desired

Artists interpret what people perceive as necessary for their lives and what is acceptable or desirable by different cultures and societies through their artwork. The following artworks interpret the concept of excess by exploring how compositional arrangements communicate aspects of what is wanted by many but not by all.

Make an artwork that is a literal or abstract interpretation of excess. Use the following artworks as stimulus to create your resolved artwork.
