Graphics lesson, 6th March

Today you will need to work on your responses independently, ensuring that all responses are complete by the end of the lesson.  If you have finished all three, you will need to devise your own development task in order to further your ideas.  Some examples of these could be:

• Refine a response (re-shoot photos, improve use of materials, use primary images)
• Sketch a series of idea developments stemming from your response work
• Combine artist ideas from your different responses to create a new piece of work
• Brainstorm a specific area of interest
• Anything else you can think of!

You also need to make sure all relevant work from your recent masterclasses is in your book.
