This document provides instructions for a Year 9 art project on creating an artist board researching artists that use natural forms in their work. Students will experiment with different media like pencil, paint, and print, and research three artists - one who works primarily with paint, another in monochrome, and a third in printmaking. For each artist, students will find information, images, and create a transcription as well as adding their opinions on the artist's work.
