Progress Checklist and Research Work (FOR PAUL'S GROUP)

By the end of Wednesday 9th September the practical work for the Tools project you should have completed is:

• At least 1 sustained pencil drawing of your tool completed from direct observation.
• A series of thoughtfully lit and composed photographs of your tool, best ones printed out at A5/A4 and put in sketchbook, also have some (3-5) good shots printed and kept loose at A4 scale as we will need these for basing prints on.
• 2 or more other drawings of your tool in your sketchbook, these could be in pencil/biro/fineliner.
• Expressive large scale stick and ink drawings.
• A3 chalk and charcoal drawing onto midtoned paper.

For homework you should also be starting work on the following research, which should be completed by Monday 14th September:

Two pages of research into the Tool drawings of Jim Dine and the same for the mixed media collage work of Florian Nicolle - find good reproductions of their work, give a brief bit of background information about each Artist, provide some analysis and personal opinion on at least 2 specific images by each of them and make at least one visual response of your own to each Artist's work (this should be an interpretation of your tool in the style of each Artist).
