Reading and note-taking task 1

(Above are two ways of taking notes from a short chapter. The top one takes longer but is much more helpful when attempting to remember and recall information.)

Objective

To give you an overview of the history of - and recent developments of - graphic communication in order to inform your written analysis work.

Task

Read Books Without Words

N.B. Don't be put off, use a dictionary and the web for help. You are entering the world of grown-up reading with big words and concepts — if you don't work at it, you won't get it. Use a dictionary.

Take notes and make drawings in your sketchbook.Get firmly into the habit of drawing whilst you are note taking. Explain visually as well as with writing.

Collect 3 questions about the text for me or the group to answer.

Presentation

Presentation of your work is very important. Your pages should be things of beauty.

Checklist for assessment

Detailed notes

Deadline

Corita Kent Slogan and 3 Rules..

What makes a Corita Kent?

Look through the presentation above to familiarise yourself with her work. 
In your book, create a few pages of research about Corita Kent. Include the following:

• Examples of her work and pics of her.
• A short, interesting and informative introduction to Corita. No copy and paste.
• Use the 'Short Investigation' framework to help you evidence a deeper understanding of her work - you will be making a Corita style book soon.

Covering your sketchbook.

Objective

As you are a Graphic Communication, you will need to communicate your magic powers to the general public! To do this you will create a beautiful sketchbook cover from stuff you have collected.

Task

Create a Pinboard that is full of stuff you could cover your sketchbook with. Consider stickers, photos, artwork, illustrations, patterns, textures, maps, stamps, labels etc etc.

We will be pasting them into Photoshop and resizing them, so there is no need to print anything off just yet.
