• What can you see?What is it made from? What colours, forms and shapes can you see?

• Meaning• What is it about? How does it relate to your project?

• What materials and processes have been used- e.g. feathers, plastics, wire, fabric, paint

• What do you think of it and why? What do you like/dislike?
