 Activity: 

We would like you to undertake an art work and research of an artist.  

1: Produce a detailed A3 drawing of a natural form or surface.  

This could be something such as; a dried flower, a cut open vegetable such as a cabbage, bark, peeling paint, old piece of wood, rusty metal. Close-up is best. You may wish to do just part of the subject so that it is quite abstract. Focus on delicate line and rich contrast of tone.  

Research and look at the work of two of these artists. Or any others you choose: 

• Anita Chowdry 
• Lucy Shires

2: Produce a 5-page PowerPoint on an artist of your choice you have seen first at an exhibition

You may choose an artist from the list above or choose your own. Your PowerPoint should  include: 

What is the artist saying through their work? 

Limited biographical detail. 

Any Art critic articles or reviews of exhibitions. 

An in-depth analysis of a particular work. 

Your own response to their work. A small study is fine
