It is good to see such a wide range of final ideas, studies and possibilities beginning to take shape. 

To complement your final piece you need to compile 2 pages of research into an Artist/Designer whose work is closely associated with the approach taken in your final piece - so this could be a Fashion Designer, Fine Artist, Illustrator or Graphic Designer for example. 

There are a variety of potential research sources illustrated above (and included in previous posts and list within the project brief). If none of these feel like a good fit with your own creative direction then find your own.

As usual with research pay attention to visual presentation/layout. Get a range of good reproductions of the Artist's work, keep pages busy, but in sympathy with the style of the work you are studying.

Written content is important, engage your brain, don't just lift from the internet. 

You should make sure you do the following within at least 500 words, more would be good:

• Provide brief background biographical information on this artist, outline their journey to acknowledgement within their field; why have they been so  successful, what have they done that has been well received? 
• Analyse at least 2 specific works in detail.
• Dissect these and their use of visual language to describe what is going on within the compositions and what you are drawn to. 
• Offer your own opinions and analysis of these pieces and explain why you hold them. 
• Discuss aspects of images such as technique, scale, colour, process and composition; what it is that intrigues you about these pieces and make sure you say how the Artist/Designer selected relates to your own ideas and work.  

This will complete your research for this project, in total you should have looked at: 2 Modern Architects, 1 Paper Engineering Artist,( we have yet to produce the practical for this) 1 Mixed Media/Collage Artist or Illustrator and 1 Artist specific to your Final Piece.  Please make sure you are up to date with this.
