The document provides instructions for a GCSE art project asking students to incorporate a graphical element by focusing on one of four artists: Michael Craig Martin, Patrick Caulfield, Julian Opi, or Andy Warhol. Students are asked to create a double page on their chosen artist including information, opinions, good quality images of their work, and at least one transcription. Brief biographies are provided on each artist's style, such as Martin's use of ordinary household items and bold colors, Caulfield's simple figurative paintings with flat colors and black outlines, Opie's diverse influences, and Warhol's iconic consumer images from the 1960s using techniques from commercial design.
