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

Hand in dates:

• 6 May: Ancient Egypt, China, Greek, Rome, Byzantine and Middle Ages
• 2 August: Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo and Neo Classicism
• future dates and periods to be confirmed

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?

Thank you for your feed back. It is a large project, and once you get into it, it will seem less daunting. Also by working with the hand-in dates you will find it more manageable.

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!
