The First Date by Daniel Johnson (Inspired By True Events)
Explore Variations and Similarities in Art and Spaces
1. Variations and Similarities
For example, links may be through pun, theme or visual qualities ( the shoes are red!) etc….
Task 4: Go to exhibitions. You don’t have to necessarily go to something you think closely ties with the theme- go and find
work you enjoy. Check https://newexhibitions.com/exhibitions/region=0 and

Task 1:
Use the exam paper, dictionaries and a thesaurus to help you create a visual brainstorm for the exam title, ‘Variations and
Similarities’. The emphasis is on the visual so text should be kept to a minimum. We expect drawings, artwork by known artists
and found imagery.
Task 2: Variations
Document interior and exterior spaces. Use photography, observational drawing and the written word to, record details, describe
light, space, function and purpose, changes over time and your association with the space. You should look at least three spaces.
Task 3: Similarities
Play yourself at a visual game of word association. Start your game with an object of your choice’ and continue over a least six
stages. Each drawing must be from direct observation and preferably in a different media each time. Fill the page.
