Practitioners that have worked with the same theme - Classwork




































Aim
Attempt to broaden your understanding of other approaches and practitioners.

Task 

Find practitioners that have worked with the same theme.
Examples to look at: art, music, film, pop culture, fashion, advertising… 
Find at least 10. Approx 7 artists/illustrators and 3 from other forms.

E.g. Cai 💖has chosen 'Subcultures' as a theme. His pages will feature Malcolm Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood (owners of the SEX shop in London, the work of Jamie Reid and Malcolm Garret (Illustrators around the punk and new wave era) alongside Aiyush Pachnanda, photographer. He might also include images of Kubrick's Clockwork Orange together with Trainspotting. He will include written information about all of the above rather than leave them lonely on the page with out context.

At least 1/3 of your page space should be given up to your hand. This doesn't necessarily mean copying. You could emulate or draw from the edges. Have a think, surprise yourself and be playful and creative. 

Annotation should include 1. Your intention. 2. Any observations about the images that spring to mind and 3. An evaluation of the task.

Artists listed by Theme or Subject links are HERE. I didn't make the list, it's one I pinched from the web... so it might be awful. But it can be used to start you off. I would much rather if you find your own. Maybe search the Tate of MOMA.

Deadline: Wed 23rd Jan
