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.
