TIME TO COMPLETE THESE OVER THE FIRST 2 WEEKS.

2. TASK 1 :FRAGMENT
DRAWINGS/PAINTINGS
Agnes Toth

3. TASK 2: MIRIAM DION

4. SERGIO ALBIAC
Sergio Albiac seeks to challenge that
notion through a new generative art
work called “You Are Not In the
News”. The artist explains that his
work “revolves around the interior
worlds we create in our minds, and
the tensions that arise when
confronted with our realities. The
illusion of control in a world much
governed by randomness and the
elusive nature of emotions are also
recurring ideas in my work.”

5. TASK 3 :POLYSTYRENE
PRINTING Copy an image of a
cross section of a
tree onto
polystyrene.

6. PRINT ONTO PAPER AND
ADD STORIES FROM
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Try to keep early memories in
the centre and your most
recent on the outer rings

7. TASK 4: INGRID CALAME
Calame generates abstract
forms by tracing the contours
of stains such as graffiti and
paint spills directly from city
streets and other locations. She
then constructs overlapping
arrangements of these tracings
into what she terms as
"constellations"
Walk around school with a
piece of tracing paper and
trace areas of the floor that
have been marked in some
way over time. Collect as
many as you can
overlapping each drawing.
Bring back to class and
paint each section onto
paper/card in flat colour.

8. TASK 5
Today’s top of the line technology will soon be the relics of the
past… and it all happens so quick. Your brand-new iPhone will be
miles behind in 3 short years, if its fragile design even allows it to last
that long. Christopher Locke’s project explores this societal fact by
greatly accelerating time in his series Modern Fossils. Here we see
the cutting-edge tech of the not-so-distant past transformed into
rock-encased objects: from a PlayStation Dual Shock controller, to a
truly obsolete 8-track tape
Create your own fossil in clay. Collect images of an old object that
is now obsolete or not used by us anymore. An Ipod , an old
cassette tape, a telephone box on the street etc. are all good
examples of this. If you have an object at home, bring it in to help
you create your sculpture in the style of Christopher Locke.
First take a lump of clay and create textures in the surface of this.
You may need to take impressions from rocks /concrete .
Then take your old object and press into a section of your clay
carefully leaving a clear impression. Leave to dry.
Next make some detailed drawings of 2 different objects in class
using different materials.

9. APOCOLYPTIC POSTCARDS
Work on top of
photocopies of
landscape scenes
of London to
recreate the end of
the world! Use
pens/paint/collage!
In their series “The World of
The Last of Us“, inspired by
the world of the video game,
the two artist from New
Zealand John Walters and
Peter Baustdaeter have
imagined what might look
like the ruins of the famous
places in a post apocalyptic
universe, from Paris to
Amsterdam via London or
Rome…

11. HOMEWORK: COMPLETE 3 STRANDS
In your book create three stands (3 pages) from your initial
mind-map. These are your most preferred starting points for
your project.
Each strand must have collected images and an
observational drawing connected to its theme!
