This document provides instructions and guidance for a GCSE art and design project on creating large-scale graphical collages based on the work of selected artists. Students are asked to study the styles of artists like Michael Craig Martin, Patrick Caulfield, and Julian Opie who work in a graphical style, and incorporate those styles into their own collages made from colored papers, fine liners, and markers. The document provides examples of selected artists' works and techniques, and advises students to create planning sketches in their sketchbooks before developing a final piece of A2 size or larger for assessment.
