You are advised to read through the entire paper, as helpful starting points may be found outside your chosen endorsement. If you are entered for an endorsed specification, you should produce work predominantly in your chosen discipline for the Externally Set Assignment. If you are entered for the unendorsed specification, you may have been working in two or more different disciplines in Unit 3. For the Externally Set Assignment, you may choose to produce work in one discipline only. The starting points in each section will help you generate ideas. You may follow them closely, use them as background information or develop your own interpretation of the theme. Read the whole paper as any section may provide the inspiration for your focus. You should provide evidence that all of the four Assessment Objectives have been addressed. It is anticipated that A2 candidates will show in the Externally Set Assignment how their knowledge, skills and understanding have developed through their work in Unit 3. The Assessment Objectives require you to: Develop your ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. Experiment with and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining your ideas as your work develops. Record in visual and/or other forms ideas, observations and insights relevant to your intentions, demonstrating your ability to reflect on your work and progress. Present a personal, informed and meaningful response demonstrating critical understanding, realising intentions and, where appropriate, making connections between visual, oral or other elements. 2 M37507A 37507A_GCE_Art_Design_Unit_4_Feb2 2 15/11/2010 14:20:35 Preparatory Studies Your preparatory studies may include sketchbooks, notebooks, worksheets, design sheets, large-scale rough studies, samples, swatches, test pieces, maquettes, digital material… everything that fully shows your progress towards your outcomes. Preparatory studies should show: • your development of a personal focus based on the theme • a synthesis of ideas • evidence of your development and control of visual language skills • critical review and reflection, recording your thoughts, decisions and development of ideas • a breadth and depth of your research from appropriate primary and contextual sources • relevant selection with visual and/or written analyses rather than descriptive copying or listing processes. Timed Examination Your preparatory studies will be used to produce an outcome(s) under examination conditions in twelve hours. 3 M37507A Turn over 37507A_GCE_Art_Design_Unit_4_Feb3 3 15/11/2010 14:20:36 The Theme: Exploration and Discovery Artists in the 16th century were often required to create illustrations of exotic foreign creatures from their descriptions alone, as recounted by the explorers who had actual experience of them. Fantastic illustrations of rhinoceros, giraffe and elephant were reconstructed from the emotive observations of the travellers. Albrecht Durer’s engraving of a rhinoceros is one of many classic examples of this. Holidays, social events, visiting distant relatives, sports fixtures, gallery and museum trips and new friends bombard our senses with fresh visual information. A simple motorway journey can whisk you through major contrasts in architecture and landscape, especially in Great Britain where changes occur over relatively short distances. Exploration into the microscopic world beneath our feet can transport us to an alien environment of fantastic organisms with endless shapes and forms. A tiny drop of stagnant water from any city gutter will often contain a multitude of strange creatures. Dissection of the human body reveals the incredible complexity of its mechanics and systems. Dr Gunther von Hagen’s Bodyworlds exhibition displays this fragile beauty. Deserted buildings, castles and industrial sites can trigger powerful emotions. The scars and traces on the fabric of the structures provide testimony to the bustle and energy of the former inhabitants and tangible evidence of their existence. As you run your fingers over the ancient graffiti, worn banisters, fragments of posters and abandoned tools your imagination can create vivid pictures of the lives of past occupants. Time spent chatting to elderly relatives can mentally transfer you to distant and lost worlds and give great insight into their treasured possessions. The significance of these artefacts prior to the discussion may have been a complete mystery. The tarnished medals and trophies, chrome teasmades, vinyl albums and valve radios provide a physical record of that person’s unique history. Discovering and reading a new book can create accurate pictures of entire communities, environments and individuals in your imagination. It is interesting to see how the film version of a book often creates a feeling of disappointment. This may be because it is the director’s visualisation of characters and places rather than your own. Here are some suggestions generated by the theme that may inspire your journey: • Climbing, caving, bird-watching, canoeing, gliding, hiking • Experiments, dissection, dismantling, deconstructing • Exotic food, music, literature • Rock pools, areas underneath stones, dead wood and metal sheets • Zoological gardens, theme parks, fun fairs, museums, libraries • Scrap-yards, exposed rock strata • Derelict gardens, cemeteries • Official trips to coal and slate mines • Snorkelling and metal detecting • Magnifying lenses, telescopes, binoculars 4 M37507A 37507A_GCE_Art_Design_Unit_4_Feb4 4 15/11/2010 14:20:36 Fine Art Optional disciplines: • Painting and drawing • Printmaking • Sculpture • Alternative media Optional starting points: • The exploration and discovery of the self has been a constant theme in modern art. Surrealists, such as Delvaux, De Chirico and Ernst, relied heavily on the psychological speculations of Sigmund Freud, who sought to uncover the mysteries of the unconscious. Kandinsky aspired to unlock ‘the spiritual’ in art by developing ways of working that were not directed by rational thought, proceeding instead from his ‘inner self’. More recently, Jenny Saville’s work is a self-conscious exploration of her own persona. • 17th century Dutch artists celebrated national triumphs of commerce and conquest achieved through naval exploration and navigational exploits. These ideas were shown in art in the form of maps, exotic fabrics, costumes and foodstuffs. At the same time, Dutch scientists expanded their knowledge of optical instruments, and their work had repercussions on some of the ways in which artists worked. For instance, Vermeer, who is known to have used a camera obscura for his paintings, was a neighbour of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the ‘father of microbiology’. Vermeer’s paintings The Geographer and The Astronomer are believed to be portraits of Leeuwenhoek. Contemporary artist Steven N Meyers uses x-rays to produce remarkable images of the delicate structures of plants and flowers. • Pop art and Op art were breakthroughs in discovering and exploring non-traditional subjects and styles. They were seen as new and shocking. They made people see things differently, and they overturned previous artistic values. Bridget Riley explores optical themes. Peter Blake celebrates ordinary life and popular culture. Such subjects would have been considered unsuitable for ‘high art’ in earlier times. • Art is often concerned with exploring and discovering the properties of materials and the potential of techniques. In former times, traditions in the use of tools and media were passed on from teachers to pupils, but now the explosion of modern media and techniques (such as acrylic paint and fibreglass casting) coupled with the breakdown of traditions and the growth of individualism, have enabled artists to use materials in previously unimagined ways. Caro’s sculptures could be thought of as structural experiments and Rauschenberg’s combinations of found

THE USE OF OLD CORRUGATED BOARD IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY WHITE PAPERS by Rene' H. Kapik A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for The Bachelor of Science Degree Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December, 1983 ABSTRACT Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/ hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper. The papers produced had almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured,:. bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents. Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended due to its inferior brightness and cleanliness.

Parameters investigated included the molar ratio of succinic anhydride/anhydroglucose units in cellulose in a range from 2:1 to 14:1, reaction time (from 30 to 160 min), and reaction temperature (between 60 and 110 °C). The succinylated cellulosic derivatives were prepared with a low degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.071 to 0.22. The results showed that the increase of reaction temperature, molar ratio of SA/AGU in cellulose, and reaction time led to an increase in DS of cellulose samples. The products were characterized by FT-IR and solid-state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis.

  • Papermaking and Ink Chemistry of the “United States
    Papermaking and Ink Chemistry of the “United States Three-Cent Bank Note Issue” Matej Pekarovic1, Alexandra Pekarovicova1, Jan Pekarovic1 and John Barwis2 Keywords: stamp, fiber length, paper porosity, bending index, color difference Abstract U.S. three-cent green postage stamps manufactured under governmental contracts with three different private bank note companies were studied concerning paper properties and ink composition. Stamp paper analyses revealed that each of the companies was using paper with different properties. Moreover, through the bending index measurement and calculation of population distribution of bending indices for each stamp manufacturer it was found that National BNC used two discrete types of paper, one with a bending index 85-115 GU/g reaching 52% of total tested samples, the other stiffer with a bending index 115-159 GU/g . The Continental BNC population (88%) had the bending index in the range 69-142 GU/g, the rest was within 142- 192 GU/g bending index. Possibly three different papers were used by the American BNC within the first period (1879), one (20%) with bending index 66-89 GU/g, a second (52%) with bending index 89-113 GU/g , and a third (28%) with bending index in the range of 113-145GU/g. The re-engraved issue (1881) was printed on two different papers, one (70% of population) with bending indices in the range 59-100GU/g, and the other with bending indices in the range of 100-128GU/g. “Green” as recognized by philatelists was found to be different for every manufacturer in terms of CIELAB values. Introduction This article aims to clarify differences in the substrate used to print United States three-cent stamps of the 1870s.

Fraser Paper: Origins and Local Acadian Culture Michael G. Hillard, Ph.D. Fraser Paper Company, located in Madawaska, Maine and Edmundston, New Brunswick, was founded in 1917. It was built and operated for several generations by the descendants of Scottish immigrants from the Fraser, Matheson and Brebner families, who immigrated to Canada from Scotland in the mid 19th century, and came together in the ensuing decades to build a lumber empire. The previous Frasier Company consisted of numerous logging camps and sawmills in New Brunswick and eastern Quebec built in the late 19th century. Subsequently, the founders decided to expand into more lucrative paper manufacturing. These original owners were self-made captains of industry in lumber production, quickly built a professional staff with backgrounds in paper engineering, sales and marketing, and research and development to manage facilities and sales forces, and to set investment strategy.
