Case Study # 1: Building Connections

Frank Gehry Practice:

When looking at an artists practice we are thinking about their ideas and actions. It can include:
  • Context
  • Inspiration
  • Beliefs
  • Audience Engagement
  • Modelling
  • Sketching
  • Technology
  • Materials
Here is a video on the Practice of Frank Gehry. You can also see another video by following the links in booklet 3 of Building Connections.

 

Milwaukee Art Museum


Building Connections: MOMA, Tasmania



Building Connections: Guggenheim, Bilbao

As part of Case Study #1 we will be looking at Modernist and Postmodernist architecture. We will be using the resources "Building Connections" developed by the NSW Architects Registration Board and Object: Australian Centre for Design.

The first building we will look at is the Guggenheim, Bilbao designed by Frank Gehry.

And so it begins.....

Term Four marks the beginning of our final year of Visual Arts and the commencement of our Body Of Works. Ideas should be starting to become firm soon and the time for planning, researching and experimenting should begin. Your VAPD should include:

  • brainstorming ideas and concepts
  • research on artists who influence your practice
  • evidence of experimentation in different media
  • document your BOW process
To get some inspiration to begin your planning in your VAPD's take a look at some previous HSC student's VAPD's below. Artexpress 2013 website
