During your lessons at school you will be choosing a third artist whose work you would like to be inspired by and create a response to their work. 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 (artist 3). 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.

You do not need to plan this shoot, however, you should still try to be as accurate as possible when recreating their style.
