Summer work 2010
Distortion
The theme of your summer project is ‘Distortion’. This is a broad
theme that can be interpreted in many different ways. To help
you develop your initial ideas, attached is some starting pointing
and suggested artists that you may want to look at. This is by no
means an exhaustive list, but aims to introduce you to a range of
genres and art movements
Summer Work – This will be presented when you return to
School.
Mind-Map:
Produce a detailed Mind-Map on the theme ‘Distortion’. Start
with a broad Mind-Map containing a lot of ways the theme can be
interpreted. Develop one or more of your ideas in more detail,
thinking about artists, techniques, materials and subject. Find
images and artists that inspire you and add to your Mind-Map in
relevant places. I want to know what your initial ideas are for
developing the theme.
Artist Research:
Research an artist that is relevant to your ideas. Use the attached
sheet to help you select a relevant artist.
Produce two large studies of the artists work using appropriate
materials and be prepared to explain to the class how the artist
has helped to inspire your ideas.
Produce three good sized observational drawing based on your
chosen starting points and in response to your selected artist.
Please bring the above with you on your first lesson.
