In true Dada style...
We, the undersigned, would like to pause the current project you are working on so that you don't miss out on the practical instruction and opportunities for this.
We would like you to complete the work that you have already been set and document this in your journals.
Week A - artist research from the brief/presenting mini projects
Week B - documentation of practical work from class workshops
Secondly, we would like you to undertake one additional task whilst you are self-isolating. This is to produce a creative response to the situation you find yourself in and produce a Portrait of Isolation. You can interpret this however you wish and utilise media you are confident with or have current access to. Malcolm has made a video (which will no doubt cheer you up) that you can watch via the ASFC Art Foundation Blog here -

Here is also a gallery of previous work from other Sixth Form students and their response to working in lockdown that might help to visualise some possibilities or spark ideas -

Just to reassure you, if you feel you need any help or further support - you can email your tutors. This is just a short time period and we will resume normal classes and your project on your return. The new task set will be included in the assessed work for Foundation as it evaluates your ability to explore the potential of media.
See you soon and take care,
Erin, Malcolm and James
