Now that you have had some time to consider your own ideas for this project and investigated what responses to your chosen theme look like, you need to develop your understanding of some of the techniques you could use when creating your response to the theme.
To do this, you need to research the work of other artists and create your own responses to their work using the same techniques as they do. It is important to look closely at the work of the artist in our research (not just including a biography of their life) because it is the work that we wish to be influenced by and therefore that should be main the focus of your page. Remember to include images on your page as well as writing, you should aim for at least 3 or 4 images. |
Task 1:
Take a look at your mood boards/mind map and decide on one piece of work which you would like to influence your ideas as you move forward with this project. Task 2: a) Add a spacer and a divider under your previous work. b) Add a title '(the name of your artist)' in bold. Task 3: Create an artist research page |
