Half term holiday.

Well done for meeting deadline this week.

Hopefully, your Final Major Project ideas are flourishing.

You need to be finding a focus piece starting point to photograph, draw from and study.

See what is in the Manchester galleries.

Whittworth have some photography, pattern, wallpaper, textile work and painting. They are also running free print workshops next week.

You need to come back with information about your art piece, studies and an idea for your theme. A starting point can be as simple or complexed as you want it to be.

It could be a continuation or development of your last project or something completely new.

Find a topic which interests or inspires you. It could be a theme, question, hobby, interest, or something that you want to explore further.

Try these for inspiration,
