 You have now seen one students project (Shannon) for the title catastrophe.    Remember that the examiner wants to see development of ideas. You will then have time after the exam to complete a final outcome.

Complete a mindmap use a word cloud, wordle to gather ideas, make a visual mindmap of images-  Find artists that would be appropriate for contextual studies in terms of theme or technique.

Bring to your lesson with
Ms O’Shea at least 2 A3 prep sheets or similar - exploring one of the exam questions in the ways suggested above. Make sure that you are thinking about links to your own work. Prep could be photographic, mixed media, painting etc. 

 For my lesson bring bold images to use for mono printing session.
