Researching your artist:• Choose a selection of photos from your artist that interest you. Print out on good
quality paper, at school you can use cartridge paper in the laser printers rather than photo paper (see Mrs Hill for this). • You will need a short biography that includes birth/death?, place of residence,
career.• You need to start to look at how they have produced their photos, is there anything
special about that. What are they best known for? For painters materials and techniques.• What do you like about their work? What is it like that you may have seen before?
Could you recreate it?• Have a go at recreating it! Produce a selection of photos or drawing and painting
that have been influenced by the artists work.
• Now you have created a selection of photos and artwork inspired by your chosen artist, evaluate how well you have done?• Have you used different techniques to get a similar effect. What are
they?• What is different about your outcomes from the artists?• What else could you do to develop your images further?
