2. 1. Journeys Sonia Boyce: From Tarzan to Rambo 1987 British Afro-Caribbean artist, living and working in London. Her early work addresses issues of race, ethnicity and contemporary urban experience expressed in large pastel drawings and photographic collages, questioning racial stereotypes in the media and in day-to-day life. Her more recent work incorporates a variety of media that combines photographs, collages, films, prints, drawings, installation and sound. 

3. YinkaShonibare MBE

4. YinkaShonibare MBE addressees issues pertinent to today’s society in his art. The complexities of contemporary identity, dislocation, multiculturalism, global food production, corporate power and revolution His work shows how Shonibare has framed these concerns within a historical context, investigating the shaping role of the British Empire and the colonial past. His signature material is a dutch wax produced African cloth.

5. George Segal 2. Transform GEORGE SEGALAmerican, 1924 - 2000Girl Resting, 1970Plaster and gauze In 1960, George Segal made his first direct sculpture casts from live models with plaster-soaked bandages. The idea of exhibiting an unpainted body cast as a finished work was revolutionary and catapulted figurative sculpture into a new expressive dimension. Representing form through artistic media could be seen as an act of transformation, especially, perhaps, when the softness of the human form is translated into hard substances of plaster or stone.

6. Juan Gris

7. 3. Stencils

8. 4. Fusion • Artists, craftspeople and designers are sometimes inspired by the fusion of art forms. Contemporary artist Pierre Huyghe creates work that combines film, sculpture, sound and the still image. Robert Rauschenberg combined painted, printed and sculptural forms in his work. The architect David Chipperfield fused old and new elements in the ‘Neues museum’, Berlin. • Research relevant sources and create your own work, in any appropriate media, in response to ‘Fusion’

9. Pierre Huyghe Video installation with sound, 00:07:00, Edition 5/6, dimensions vary with installation. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, One Million Kingdoms, 2001, is one of a series of animated films in which a Japanese anime character, the brooding young girl AnnLee, is inserted into various dramas. Here she is dropped into a lunar landscape that is mapped out and developed in correspondence with the rises and falls of the narrator's voice - digitally derived from a recording of Neil Armstrong. The stories of the first moon landing, in 1969, and of Jules Verne's 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth have been conflated here in a conspiracy theory of the faked and the fantastic. Armstrong's first words - It's a lie - prompt AnnLee, as she moves from place to Pierre Huyghe «One Million Kingdoms» 2001. http://www.orbit.zkm.de/?q=node/100 http://youtu.be/6SiSu4peR6o

10. Bed Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925–2008) 1955. Oil and pencil on pillow, quilt, and sheet on wood supports Robert Rauschenberg Bed is one of Robert Rauschenberg's first Combines, works in which he affixed cast-off items, such as tires or old furniture, to a traditional support pillow, sheet, and quilt, scribbled. Here he framed a well-worn on them with pencil, and splashed them with paint in a style reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism. These bedclothes, legend has it, were Rauschenberg’s own, and the work is thus as personal as a self-portrait, or more so. "Painting relates to both art and life," Rauschenberg said. "(I try to act in that gap between the two.)" Rebus Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925–2008) http://www.moma.org/

11. David Chipperfield Winner of the prestigious Mies van der Rohe 2011 Award, The Neues Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island was originally designed by Friedrich August Stüler and built between 1841 and 1859.  In 1997, David Chipperfield Architects won the international competition for the rebuilding of the Neues Museum in collaboration with Julian Harrap.  The design focused on repairing and restoring the original volume, respecting the historical structure.  Both the restoration and repair of the existing is driven by the idea that the original structure should be emphasized in its spatial context and original materiality – the new reflects the lost without imitating it. http://youtu.be/0_9g63ialoM http://www.davidchipperfield.co.uk/

12. 5. Art & Words • Artists, craftspeople and designers are sometimes inspired by written sources. Narrative artist Sarah Fishburn creates mixed media graphic illustration combining image and quotation whilst Imants Tillers uses words and images to tell the story of Australian history. Textile artist Val Jackson makes garments embroidered with stories from her childhood and youth. Sculptor Jaume Plensa is inspired by literature. • Investigate relevant sources and produce your own work, in any appropriate media, based upon ONE of the following: • EITHER a) a poem, quotation or lyric • OR b) a story, legend or fable.

18. 6. Close-up • Viewing subjects close up has provided inspiration for many artists, designers and craftspeople. The Boyle Family are known for their close-up studies of surfaces. Photographer Andreas Feininger studied the structure of natural objects. Craftsperson Heather Knight makes ceramic artwork inspired by the textures of natural forms and Georgia O'Keeffe painted close-up images of flora • Research appropriate sources and produce your own response to ‘Close-up’

19. The Boyle Family have worked together for more than 30 years producing an art that scrutinises and replicates fragments ofreality.

20. Alison Watt does “fabric painting.” She paints on canvas but her subject matter is cloth.

21. Andreas Feininger Design is a funny, marvellous, occasionally unsettling thing — especially when evolution itself is the designer. Take these 60-year-old pictures of skulls and bones. Seen in a certain light, and photographed for LIFE by the great Andreas Feininger — a craftsman with the eye of a scientist and the heart of an artist — the bones of creatures as varied in size, behaviour and temperament as fish, bats, elephants, hummingbirds and humans are eloquent totems, raising questions about life, death and what we ultimately leave behind. In the end, perhaps the way that humans and our fellow creatures appear when seen at the most elemental level — in other words, how we look when stripped to the very bone — says more about us than we’d like to admit. But even as these pictures summon thoughts both morbid and exalted, one thing remains strikingly clear: in the right hands, bones can be incredibly, mind-bendingly cool. http://life.time.com/culture/lovely-bones-photos-of-animal-skulls-and-skeletons/#1

22. Robert Cottingham is a photo realist painter. In his work he shows fragments of neon signs, storefront marquees, railroad boxcars, letter forms, and more recently, cameras and typewriters.

24. Heather Knight http://www.heatherknightceramics.com/index.html

25. Sarah Parker-Eaton SarahParker-Eaton is a jeweller working with precious metals. Sarah is inspired by a diverse selection of varied marine fauna and plankton,. This has led her to make strange stalked creatures that could have emerged from mud flats and spiky beasts that would be more at home on rocky shores. Her work begins on paper as a series of sketches mainly done in the Natural History Museum library in London. These are re-drawn repeatedly until a particular design emerges.

26. Georgia O’Keeffe http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/ Georgia O’KeeffeLight Iris1924Oil http://coachhall.com/?p=384 Red Hills and Bones, 1941 http://www.georgiaokeeffe.net/red-hills-and-bones.jsp

27. Chuck Close Chuck Close installing the Walker exhibition Close Portraits , 1980Photo: Walker Art Center Archives In 1988 a spinal blood clot left Close almost completely paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. A brush-holding device strapped to his wrist and forearm, however, allowed him to continue working. In the 1990s he replaced the minute detail of his earlier paintings with a grid of tiles daubed with colourful elliptical and ovoid shapes. Viewed up close, each tile was in itself an abstract painting; when seen from a distance, the tiles came together to form a dynamic deconstruction of the human face.

28. 7. Movement • You should make connections with appropriate sources when developing your personal response to ONE of the following suggestions: • A) Develop your own interpretation of the starting point ‘Movement’ • B) You might produce designs which emphasise movement, to be used in promotional material for dance or a sporting event • C) You could develop a series of studies to capture movement in nature

29. Photos of Movement • Use a slow shutter speed/long exposure to capture movement • Try drawing in light • Move the camera whilst taking a picture • Use a motor drive to capture a series of images • Create stop frame animation http://gadgetphotoreview.com/camera-shutter-speed-is-limited-movement-photography/.html

33. Tony Ashton: Figures in Movement 2006. “I've always been fascinated by Marcel Duchamp's 'Nude descending a staircase'. I carried out my own experiments in movement, and these are the results. One of my favourite sculptors, Boccioni, was a futurist and he also has inspired me in this work”.

34. Dance Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Dance at Bougival Matisse – La Danse 1909-10 Gillian Wearing – Dancing in Peckham

35. Collections

36. Lisa Milroy first gained recognition in the 1980s for her object paintings, a series of highly stylised inanimate objects set against white backgrounds. In these, rows of patent leather shoes exuded a sultry, polished newness; ugly charity-shop vases were painted with the dull lustre of clay; and light bulbs were neatly arranged as if laid out on the table of a hardware shop. 

37. Jean Shin is nationally recognized for her monumental installations that transform everyday objects into elegant expressions of identity and community.

38. Tony Cragg uses recycled materials to create his sculptures. For example, one takes the shape of a British flag, but up close there are colorful and individual shapes that are made from things like toothbrushes and metal washers, all painted. 

39. Cornell was not a sculptor, a draftsman, or a painter. This internationally renowned modern artist never had professional training. He was first and foremost a collector. He loved to scour old book shops and secondhand stores of new York looking for souvenirs, theatrical memorabilia, old prints and photographs, music scores, and French literature.

41. Damien Hirst's work has divided opinion since he came to public attention in the 1980s.It seems that with increased success, wealth, and notoriety comes intense public scrutiny. He has achieved the fame of richest artist ever. 

42. Zac Freeman: “The artworks are made entirely out of collected junk, found objects, and general trash. I glue the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, usually faces, which only can be seen at a distance.”
