Jewellery History Time-line

Brief
Construct a Historical Time-Line covering all the historical eras and style movements which we cover this year.

• Draw a piece of jewellery, for each period covered, which you have designed yourself
• Refer to the information provided by each research team for your design (blog site available on research blogs page...above)
• Your design is to reflect the essential characteristics of the period
• Plagiarism will not be tolerated
• Draw your design on a A6 page in colour, any medium

Marking Criteria:

• Accuracy
• Does the design show an understanding of the movements by displaying chief characteristics; its it recognisably from that era?
• Effort
• What is the level of involvement and enthusiasm for the project?
• Presentation
• How has the work been executed, choice of materials, neatness, layout etc.?
• Authenticity
• Is there evidence that the design is original, albeit eclectic? That the various components have been put together in a unique way?

Hand In for next batch of Time-line; Arts and Craft, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, De Stijl, and Bauhaus, 
19 September 

Art Deco

Adelaide and Zainab present

Art Nouveau

Christian and Calvin presented art Nouveau

Art Nouveau is an incredibly rich movement which explored all areas of design. This presentation did the movement no justice. I urge everyone to do some of their own research.

Use the template for research, follow all the sections. Available in the course out-line page.

Next Time Line Hand in

Arts and Craft, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, De Stijl, and Bauhaus hand in Monday 29 August All research, up to and including these movements needs to be posted by 22 August.

Problems posting on your blog

If you are experiencing problems posting on your blog:
Do your best to sort it out first,..then ask 4th Year Tutor Megan to help.
If that all fails... my e mail   rautenbachm@cput.ac.za (which is very unreliable)

hand in date for next section of time-line

Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and Realism jewellery to be handed in 18 July

Please post your historical research by 20 June, make sure you have referenced correctly.

time table

Neo Classicism 30 May
Esethu, Lorainne and Carlen
Please attend class on time! Digest and integrate your research, use your own words. Refer to the images, you provide to display your understanding , and the points you are making


The time table has been re arranged. Please check to see if I have left any one off.

Feedback for Time-line project:

• the marks are on the marks page above
• consider presentation ..pieces of paper are still being handed in!!!
• follow the rubric as a guide line
• the aim is for you to show your understanding of the movement (authentic research) and an interpretation that still holds the integrity of the time

Please post your research so that I can mark it, making very clear which is your research. Also if your project is not available  your peers have do extra research for their time-lines. The aim of research teams is that you work together, your input thus benefits all.

Baroque and Rococo

Baroque 16 May
Caitlin, Miles and Luke

Rococo 23 May
Stephan, Prince and Lucinda

Hand In dates

30 May: China, Byzantine and Middle Ages Time Lines
18 July: Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo and Neo Classiscism

Please post your research onto your blogs as soon as possible so that people can get on with their projects.

Time-line

I have posted the marks for the first three periods of the time-line on the 'marks' page. This mark has been broken into the various components of the rubric. Any queries please consult with me.
General feedback: You are training to be Jewellers, presentation/finish is a very important component to your field. The presentation of some of the time-lines are shocking, some outstanding!

Also the first round of marks for the historical periods have been completed and have been posted on the 'marks' page. All future marking of your research and presentations will be done via your blogs.

Mannerism

Carlen, Meera and Anton present their research on Mannerism


Feedback:
As I said in the lecture: the thrust of these research presentations is that you have opportunities to practice and develop proficiency in visual literacy. The aim is that you can talk you audience through your topic, using visual references to illustrate the information you found in your research. 


As research teams you need to work together as a group, complementing and sharing information. The aim of a research team is to economise time and energy by pooling your resources, work smart! Also, at some point this research will be used by all of you to design a piece of jewellery. Keep this in mind! 

Up Date on Time-line hand-in dates

Chrissane, Calvin and Luke need to post their Middle Ages research

Zainab, Esethu and Miles need to post their Byzantine research

History Time-line

How to find the research for your time-lines:

• Go to time-table page
• look up who did research on which time period
• go to blog links page and go to their blog
• Calvin, Chrisanne and Esethu, your blogs are still not linked

Renaissance

Claire, Genevieve and Matseliso present Renaissance


Excellent presentation....well done!

• solid understanding of the socio/political forces
• solid understanding of the different phases and zeitgeist
• jewellery section well covered
• well done for pointing out the beginning of the printed word!

Middle Ages

Chrissanne, Calvin and Luke present research on Middle Ages.


Feedback; this was inadequately researched.


Please Note:
The research you are presenting is to benefit the entire class, you are researching for each other. This will come into full effect when you design your time lines, drawing on the information posted on each others blogs. If a group has researched inadequately, hasn't supplied enough information, images etc., the rest of the class will need to do more research in order to fulfil the time-line brief.


Please post your research onto your blogs as soon as you have done your presentation so that others can get on with their time-lines.


Please remember your first hand in of the Time-line is on 6 May

Byzantine

Zainab, Esethu and Miles presented Byzantium


Feedback

• One of the aims of the research teams is that you have an opportunity to work as a team and pool your resources. This didn't happen today, work on integration, cross referencing and cohesion.
• Use the research template (on the twohistory out-line page). Follow the prompts the the bracketed words, who? when? how? what? where? why? The gist of the lesson is really to convey WHY humans were doing what they were doing then!
• Convey a thorough understanding of political forces, it gives the why.
• In the jewellery section, go into deeper discussion on techniques, materials and symbolism. Also where were materials coming from.
• Through colonising/conquering other cultures, discuss how cultures were influenced and disseminated.
• Marking has become very generous and rather inaccurate!

hand in dates

We will stick to the orginal hand in date for first batch of "Illustarted Time Line" 6 May

Feedback from today's meeting

The following was discussed:

• Groups presenting their research need to set up before 8:30
• Research groups will be notified on their topics well in advance, extending their research time
• A break-down of the topic will be available to the whole class and this becomes the marking criteria
• Research needs to focus on technical information, giving cultural/historical data only if it is relevant
• The whole class need to read up on the topic before the presentation

Other points...on reflection:

The general feedback I am getting is a dissatisfaction with the quality of research. If this is the case, why are the marks that you are awarding reflecting highly competent presentations?

I am yet to receive a comment with your name and blog link (have got one from Gienevieve!)... If I don't get them this week I have nothing to mark.

Poor attendance and late arrival.... deal with it!

Please answer the following questions by Thursday 10 March:

• Define; Learner/learning
• Define;Teacher/teaching
• What motivates you to learn?
• How do you learn?
• How do you know you undestand something?

Please note: Thursday Design Theory 10 March has been swopped with History (Ancient Rome), and next week History 14 March has been swopped with Theory (Carving and Casting)

Ancient Greece

Robyne Cowling, Stephan Engelbrecht and Latiefa Sonday present their research on Ancient Greece

• Solid and comprehensive coverage of the topic
• Flow of single images held attention
• Good understanding of socio/politic
• Competent understanding of the different movements/eras
• Appropriate images used
• Consider talking the class through the images rather than reading from notes. This displays a more integrated and comprehensive understanding of the research. Robyne did this well, and Stephan highly competent 
• Inclusion of maps really helps to contextualise

Next week Caitlin Frewen, Katharina Bath and Prince present their research on The Roman Empire

Ancient China

Next week (Monday 28 February)  Robyne Cowling, Stephan Engelbrecht and Latiefa Sonday present their research on Ancient Greece

Feedback on Ancient China:

• Research showed a good understanding of social/political forces
• Inclusion of maps/geography is helpful 
• Good use of images, though single paged images could be used, and more reference to the images to highlight the points being made
• Focus on the different areas of design and spend more time with them, eg: transport, architecture, clothing, more on jewellery etc.

Ancient Egypt

Claire Sandham, Loraine Spangenberg and Lucinda Dabbs present Ancient Egyptian History


Claire Sandham

Introduction to the course

Small group discussions on following:

• What is History?
• Why do we research?
• How do we research?

Claire Sandham, Loraine Spangenberg and Lucinda Dabbs research and present Ancient Egyptian History on Monday 14th February

Course Outline

Learners will research the following Historical Movements and Styles in small 'research groups'. These groups then present their research to the rest of the class as a multi-media presentation.

The thrust of these presentations is to give a broad over view of a particular culture in a specific time/geographical context; giving a taste and flavour of that particular period and how it manifested in all areas of Design. It is also aimed at how we can find relevance in that time period for contemporary concerns, particularly in Jewellery Design.
