Wanda
Study Project:
A couple of weeks ago Wanda was contacted by
a school in England that was interested in using
her as a project for their students. Here is an
excerpt from their communications:
"
We are in the early stages of the theme, pupils
homework was to research and find information
about you and your work. The course requires
pupils to have a very strong understanding of
context and this must be shown through their
final outcomes. I have been speaking to our IT
specialist and it may be possible to connect you
to our internet study centre named 'study wiz'
(this is new to us this year), that would allow
discussion groups to be formed, which would be
fantastic! We would love to have some form of
contact with you in that way, also you would be
able to view pupils work and their personal
responses. We would appreciate any input you
are willing to give. At the moment pupils are
studying primary and secondary sources, they
will then explore media and study your
techniques, we are hoping to combine the nature
that has inspired them with some of your
techniques. All pupils have a personal response,
we believe very strongly in the individual as an
artist, therefore some may even branch into
weaving, or 3D or creative textiles. Their
personal journey is important to us and vital in
their development as artists." Katharine, South
Chadderton School, near Manchester, England  
"I have included some images of the pupils work
for you to view. Its shows the various stages of
the creative journey. Pupils started with
researching your work and your style in their
sketchbooks, they then went on to using a variety
of media to record nature, producing graffitti stick
drawings, rubbings and various printing
techniques. From these studies they will look
closely at your application of paint, use a view
finder to select an interesting composition and
begin their painting. The pupils are really
enjoying the project and I will keep you up to
date. Next week I am planning to open a
discussion about your work and discover
questions that they want to ask you.
