Grades 7-9
Don't just use one media but a range of materials like you see in the video link below. Think about the use of fine liner, the bright application of water colour and acrylic, the control of colour pencil. Each media has a benefit for being used in the image,

Grades 4-6
Over the next month you are to make an entry for every day into your journal. This can be a photograph, a daily writing, a drawing, a poem, doodles or any other creative form of 'reflection' you can think of.
Each page should be relaxing to produce and if possible at the same time every day.
It can be anything you want about anything you want, so it should be a freeing and enjoyable exercise.
Grades 7-9
Continue this journal on beyond the 15 minutes a day, beyond the month or beyond the confines of the pages. Push your artistic reflections into other new, exciting and original forms to produce an aesthetically beautiful artefact.

Research

Grades 4-6
Create a Mind Map, Mood Board, and page of Quotes, Synonyms and Definitions to being your project. Each one should take up an A3 page in your sketchbook. The pages should be presented well and have annotations to any images shown.

Grades 7-9
For each of these pages they should look like works of art in themselves, try thinking of interesting and exciting ways to present them. Can you do a double page spread for each? Can you annotate in depth your mood board? Can you add more imagery to you mind map?

# data[].attributes.body
Grades 4-6
You should have a double page spread in your sketch book showing your understanding of the proportions of the human face. This should show both visual and written understanding of this with examples of your sketching and own studies.

Grades 7-9
Produce an A3 self portrait using what you have learnt about the human face to help you. This can be done in any media you choose.

Grades 4-6
Using either Alice through the Looking Glass or Snow White as your inspiration, use the apples, bottles and cakes respectively to create an interesting composition.
Take photos of these.
Then using the printed out texts to create an interesting surface, produce a detailed study of your composition.

Grades 7-9
Use the text creatively within the composition to create a mixture of both words and images.
Don't just stop once your composition is completed, how else can you build into your 'literacy research' for this theme? What other objects can you photograph and create studies of?
