We are learning to show slides which should include: Artist name, and pictures of his work,
We are learning to write an analysis using questions on our slides
We are learning to make our own response to the work using pencils, pencil crayons and felt tips
We are learning to reflect on the work of Michael Craig Martin and how he has used still-life.’

Research
On the internet students find examples of the work of
Michael Craig Martin

Choose two images by this artist, one you like and one you do not like.

Students answer the following questions and display visually:
'Why do you like the first image?
Why do you not like the second image?
What bit in each photo do you look at first?"

Students Choose one image to analyze and to use as the basis for their own drawing – the one students are asked to copy. Students evaluate:
“What do you like about this artwork?
Which section do you look at first?
How are you going to copy this artwork (remember its your own version it, not a perfect copy)”
