During your lessons at school you have already chosen an artist whose work you would like to be inspired by and researched them. You will also be planning a photoshoot to complete at school and editing the photographs from your shoot into an artist response. For your homework, I would like you to complete an additional artist response shoot at home, to the same artist you have researched in school. This will give you more opportunity to explore their work in detail and understand the variety of techniques which they use within their body of work.
