CHECKLIST FOR EASTER- PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE COMPLETED EVERYTHING !

CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO BE DONE OVER EASTER 

• Research into Roald Dahl (1 page is fine)
• Research into Quentin Blake's illustrations for Dahl's books, include reproductions of his work, background information, analysis of his style and at least one visual response. (2 pages)
• Research into 2 films inspired by the works of Roald Dahl, some background information, justified personal opinion and images from the films (1 page for each film).
• At least 3 pages of storyboarding for your photo shoot, this should be a mix of quick sketches and annotation. Sketches should explore potential compositions for photos; annotation should include quotes from the book that you are illustrating and lists of requirements (models, postures, expressions, locations, props, costume, make up, lighting etc.). 
• 1 artist research on storyboarding ( 1 page minimum) showing some good examples of existing storyboards, with brief analysis.
• Contact sheets of prints from your studio, and location photoshoots. 
• Larger prints (A4/A5) of a range of your best shots.
• Research into one narrative photographer with fantastical elements - e.g. Annie Liebovitz, Ruven Afanador, Viona Ielegems, Tim Walker. 2 pages with imagery, background and some of your own analysis of a couple of specific shots, consider what practical steps went into creating the image we see. So discuss location, models, postures, costume, props, make up, composition, lighting, camera angle, post-production.
• At least 2 sustained full page careful observational drawings from your photographs, use different media for each of these - e.g. one tonal image in pencil, and one piece in biro. Fine liners or coloured pencils might be other media to consider using for these controlled pieces.
• 4 or more quick expressive drawings.
• 2 Carbon prints
• Research into 2 narrative illustrators, these MUST be one historical and one contemporary practitioner. In this research it is important to give background biographical information on each illustrator, analyse some specific images in terms of content, technique and media and justify your own opinions on the work. You also need to compare the illustrators from different eras and describe how you feel illustration has changed over time. This research is set to meet the requirements of the Narrative Illustration Unit, so MUST be done well. 
• Using your own photographs as inspiration produce 2 interpretations of your images in the style of each illustrator you have researched - that is 4 illustrations in total. Take time over these and do your best to really replicate the style and use appropriate media.
• Research into 2 Collage artists ( 1 page per artist minimum)
• At least 1 Gold Card plate cut with a range of prints taken from them, one of these should be an ambitiously scaled piece (A3).
• At least 1  or more good pieces of monoprinting.
• 6 well resolved mixed media Collage images integrating the best of your drawing and printing along with other elements and text.

And now breathe.....😊😊
