Area of Study 2
Focus, Reflection and Evaluation
This area of study requires students to reflect on their folio and produce an evaluation of the finished
artworks. Students provide visual and written documentation of the selected potential directions that
were used as the basis for the final artworks in Unit 4 Area of Study 1. The documentation must
identify the refined focus of the production of the folio, including the reasons why specific potential
directions, developed in the design process in Unit 3, have been selected to produce the folio in Unit 4.
At the completion of the folio, students examine and reflect on the communication of ideas, the use of
materials and techniques, the resolution of aesthetics and the relationships that have been formed in
the cohesive folio. They document how the artworks will be presented to support the communication
refined throughout the individual design process. They may explain any refocusing and provide visual
support materials that demonstrate the refinement of skills and techniques employed in the folio.
