The document summarizes an induction project for developing study skills. It includes tasks on researching optical art and De Stijl art movements, generating poster ideas, planning and creating a poster, and evaluating the project process and final product. For task 2, the student and group proposed posters on De Stijl using squares as text boxes and an op art poster with black and white illusions and text boxes. The student created a poster with vibrant colors and irregular shapes as text boxes to convey information on De Stijl. Feedback was given to change the font and colors to better match the art style.

8. Task 2b – Action Plan/Schedule
3.1
• Mood board – This is the kind of poser ill be going for but with more
information on about the movement.

9. Task 2c – Planning
3.2
This is how my poster came
along, using the shape tool to
draw different sized shapes but
making it look irregular on
purpose to give it an abstract
look, I used vibrant colours to
catch attention.
The poster is simplistic but looks
complicated, I chose the black
between all the other colours to
make them stand out and pop
more

10. Task 2c – Planning
3.2
Used the squares as different text
boxes, trying to space text about to
keep the eyes wondering round the art
and taking it all in for the information.
I chose to put only the main
information on, for example I chose a
date time and location to put on, a title,
what kind of art and where its from and
also just a short description of the art,

16. Task 5 – Evaluation – Active Engagement
• Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to
meaningfully talk and listen, write, read, and reflect on the content,
