Project Brief

• Consider how Matisse and Picasso line drawings/litographs could influence my own work
• Explore/develop life drawings done in Block 1 and privately
• Possibly do more drawings from life
• Work through drawings cropping/stylyising etc and consider suitability for print
• Consider using digital media/converting image to giclee print
• Lino print or drypoint on A3 if possible at least one but possibly two different ideas
• Experiment with coloured ground/lines
• Possible tie in with Context assignment in Block 1
