A2 Art and Design

Holiday Homework for September

 

It is essential that you complete the following work for when you return:

 

1. Collect relevant imagery for your subject area (this must be a balance of drawings and photographs not photo heavy). You should easily be able to fill half or more of your book with these images.

 

2. Ensure that the work from before the end of term is completed, annotated and analysed.

 

3. Collect resources (objects, materials, locations, etc) that you can use when you come back.

 

You will be expected to present your work to the group so make sure you know where you are going with it AND make sure you have it all with you on your FIRST day back.

 

 The Personal Study

This is in the form of an illustrated dissertation of between 2000 and 3000 words. This is where you start your coursework. You will work on this outside of lessons and do practical work in lessons that will inform your written work. Use the essay writing frame to help you with the structure
