DEVELOP YOUR IDEAS…

  • Select two artists that relate to your idea and you find inspirational – this can be from the presentation or from your own research.​
  • For each artist present your research across two A4 pages (a double page spread). Think about what information is relevant – e.g. where they went to school is not very relevant to their work. You also need to include at least 4 large images of their work.​
  • Make sure you analyse at least 1 x key image / work and identify what about their work you find inspirational or interesting.​
  • We are more interested in your interpretation of their work and your analysis of the formal elements in their work. If you need a bit of help with this, have a look at this link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9kmhyc
