Arts and culturual education (ACE)
Last year you dipped your toes into the pool of arts and culture. This year you are going to use those experiences to create a product which you will present to the class and teacher at the end of the year.
Assignment:
Assignment:
You are going to let yourself be inspired by a song from the country that you are going to visit for your international internship. This song forms the groundworks for the practical assignment you will choose.
At school you will start by doing research. Only when the research is complete and you have a finished plan that has been accepted by the teacher, may you start on making the product.
Most of the time you will be working in school for this assignment. But ofcourse it could be that certain things have to be done at home.
Logbook
Logbook
For this assignment you will keep a logbook. This is a document which you will use to keep track of your progress during this project. In your logbook you will record your (group) discussions, ideas, plans and take pictures of your process. Make sure to write in your log at the end of every lesson! Your log will be checked frequently! And yes, your logbook will be graded.
On the right, you can see a wonderful example of a logbook!

Make a logbook document which every group member can access.
Choose lyrics or a piece of music / song (optionally with corresponding artist or band). The song that you choose, the artist that you choose, or the land where the video of the song has been filmed, must have a connection with the land that you are going to visit this year for your international internship.
Watch different video clips which are relevant (take notes of what you see, and write this down in a log)
Dont forget to update your logbook!
Week 2 - 4
Choose a practical assignment from the list above
Orientate in the design area with which you are going to work with
Make a design and a plan
Decide on which materials and locations you will be needing etc.

Get a "GO" for you plans (see below)
How to get a "GO" for your plans? Logbook must include:
What assignment have you chosen?
Who is in the group? Do you need extra help from someone else?
What song have you chosen and how do the song, product and international intership connect?
What material/locations etc. do you need? (try and think outside of the box material-wise)
sketches, plans, examples.
A scheduled planning of when, what, where, who
Week 5 and further…
Carry out your plan
Let me know if you need help
Write in your logbook every week!!
Practical Assignments you can choose from
Practical Assignments you can choose from
- Clothing
You’re going to design a costume which fits the lyrics that you chose (or the performing artist). You will be working with common (fabric/leather) and uncommon materials (plastic, paper, metal etc.). This can be done on a mannequin, this can be a male or a female: so on scale. You DON’T have to be able to sew: you can use pins on the mannequin and you can use common and uncommon connections (gluing, stapling etc.). Mind you; the number of mannequins is limited.
- Accessory
You’re going to design a bag, hat or piece of jewelry/ornament which will fit the lyrics you chose (or the artist you chose). You will be using common and uncommon materials.
- Set
You’re going to design a set in which a video clip can be recorded of the song that you chose. This can be done digitally, with photography, with drawing or by making a maquette (or a combination of these techniques).
- Arrangement
You will write or make up an arrangement on the song that you chose and you will develop this. Perform this song yourself or make a version on the computer.
- Clip
You will design a clip of your own to go with the chosen lyrics. You can do this by filming, making use of animation or by making a storyboard ( = comic-like sequence of scenes which you draw or photograph). Mind you, if you want to do this by means of animation or filming; it is a lot of work and you can only do this if you have filmed before or if you have designed with the computer before.
- Photo shoot
You will make a photo reportage which will fit the ambiance of the song – and possibly the performing artist – that you chose. Make a clear plan before you start and try to describe as well as you can how the photo’s should be looking. Make a motivated choice for color, black and white or sepia. Take note of image construction and composition and take a look at /read the book which former student Thomas made for his profile piece about photography.
- Other
If you come up with another way to mix various art disciplines in order to bring about a qualitative end product, discuss your idea with the teacher.
