ARTIST REFERENCE RESEARCHTASK ONE:

Your task is to complete 2 Artist Analysis for your recent 2D and 3D artist

which you have been reproducing in lesson.

It is critical that you are able to find basic information online, therefore

you need to know the artists name- this can be found on the reference

sheets you were provided when beginning the reproduction. (You will

need to contact your teacher if you are unable to find this information).

You need to access the Artist Analysis from the online curriculum – see

the next slide for detailed instructions on where to find the guidance

sheet.

You should type this up into a word document. You must ensure you

SAVE your work so that you are able to access this in weeks to come.

ENSURE YOU COMPLETE ALL 5 SECTIONS OF THE WORKSHEET TO THE

BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

TASK TWO:

If you are able you should complete your recent 2D and 3D artist reproductions,

ready for your return to school. Remember these still need to be completed to the

highest standard.

GCSE COURSEWORK PORTFOLIOCOURSEWORK AMMENDMENTS:

It is critical that you continue to improve your GCSE coursework

portfolio where possible. If you need more guidance please

email your teacher with a clear questions/description – you

could take photos of your work to aid us in helping you.

This is also a good opportunity to expand your portfolio;

additional drawings, additional artist studies, additional research

boards, additional photographs and digital edits…

The slide that follow is an exemplar portfolio from a current YR10

student. You should use this as a guideline for the standard and

amount of work that you all need to achieve.
