Artist studies.

Choose an artist. (Lowry in this case)

• Use their work to inspire ideas.

• Use their work to study techniques.

You could copy small sections to learn new techniques.

• Write about what YOU like about the work.

“Include minimal biographical information. Name, dates, art movement are usually enough”.

• Evaluate any of YOUR work. What went well and what needs improving, show how you are going to make the improvements.
