““Action Research”Action Research”

Action Research: (essentially interventionist, employing Participant observation).

-The management of group art projects. -Shop Front ‘commissioned’ by school stakeholders. -The formulation of projects and project briefs.-Creative design work and the immediate relevance of REV of dealing with large scale work. -The place of judging panel and proposals, students pitching their work etc. -Visual Culture/ Popular Culture Content.

““Brief & Gathering Data”Brief & Gathering Data”Brief-Shop Front: This brief came about when I was approached by the schools stakeholders to help refurbish the school gym/hall. The hall is also the canteen at break and lunchtime where students get to order their lunch and sit and eat it. It was decided as a group that something should be done to highlight this so students are getting the chance to design a shop front along with holding a competition for the whole school to come up with a name for it.

Brainstorming: Students were instructed of the brief & project, they were then broken up into groups to brainstorm and come up with ideas.Presentations: When the students were finished brainstorming and had come up with their ideas. Each group was given the chance to present their ideas to the rest of the class and principal. Votes were cast for best layout and shop name.Note Taking & Drawings: Students and myself to keep a clear and accurate depiction of events, problems, tasks to be done etc.Photography: A number of cameras were made available to the students so that they could each have a go at documenting the work being done.Video Camera: Students learned how to use a video camera with a number of students documenting the work as it was being created.Voicethread: A voicethread was created so that students and myself could comment on the project as a whole.

““Key Points”Key Points”• To research different types of artistic/professional briefs and to look at the work that was completed from these briefs. Then to discuss were the key points met??? What worked well??? Relevant??? etc.

• To design a brief that communicates clearly the task in hand to students.Also presentations and research of media/ imagery suitable to the task at hand.Presentations of group proposals- students have the chance to pitch their plans and ideas. Research on how to deliver a clear and accurate presentation using all resources available.

• To manage and maintain the groups progress and creative designing of murals and shop front. (Times, Deadlines, Student allocated jobs, etc). Student participation was key here. Deadline: VEC Awards Night.

• To demonstrate to students how to use and work different forms of computer related software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, PowerPoint, CAD and Voicethread. Also on the practical side to work safely with tools and machinery from the Woodwork Room- Bench Saw, Jigsaw, Drills etc.
