Work for Monday lesson

Email before the lesson or bring your work on a memory stick to present your research.  I have booked the computers out for Thursday as I will not be in.  Please bring your money/consent form for the trip and hand into the finance office on Monday.

You are to look through the artists exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery from Pangaea and Abstract America Today.  Find one artist from each exhibition and write about them. Read through the info booklet I emailed you on Pangaea for ideas of which artist you’d like to write about.

Collages and more for Wednesday lesson

A quick reminder regarding the work for Wednesday's lesson -
1. Create a number of collages which combine either a single image or perhaps two images with text - one word or short sentences.  I made 9 collages in the 1 hour session!

2. Choose something from your list of tasks to complete e.g. annotate your PowerPoint with notes about your ideas and thought process in choosing the artists/ images for your presentation. 

Azura and Sandy please come and find me tomorrow to discuss the work you missed today.
