Include a small picture, large interpretation. 3)      Evaluation and analysis is important because it demonstrates why you have made your choices.

WK 2 Mon 16th Jan	1)      2nd artist/contextual study – same requirements as in the 1st study. Ensure you choose someone or something that can give you something to take from it. You need to be able to re-use the style or technique in your own development. (If there is nothing from the artist or investigation that you can take, don’t choose it!) ANNOTATION.
