Illustrator Sara Fanelli uses mixed media to transform the appearance of characters in children's stories, and Juan Gris applied cubist principles to his subjectsInvestigate appropriate sources and produce your own work in any media based on:EITHER (a) everyday objectsOR (b) recycle / reinvent

(This plan may change!)- Use the 4 headings and also include:-Objects you want to record visually-Artists and other sources you want to investigate

Suggested themes for Transform

4. AO3 - Primary and Secondary RecordingYou must now find appropriate objects and items to record from. The main ways you will do this will be through observational drawing and photography.

Record from primary sources first and move onto secondary sources if necessary…
