Research the 'Sister Corita Kent' and present your findings in your sketchbook. 
Look further than Wikipedia.

Your creative findings should include:

• a comprehension response (explain) Describe who the artist is. Please do NOT include a biography. Explain your response. Use the pink section on the WAYS OF LOOKING sheet to help your questioning.

  an analytical response (compare and contrast) Criticise and analyse their work. Use the WAYS OF LOOKING sheet to help your questioning. Take a number of typical examples and bullet point why they are characteristic of their work and wider movement

  a creative response (use your imagination) Copy their style, emulate it. (Don’t copy individual images, translate it..) Where would you find this style working best? In what other ways could it be used?

  a research response (dig deeper) Find other artists that are similar or linked? Then, consider the context - what other designers are working at the same time? Include a range of relevant work. Research to find out who the designer has been influenced by or has influenced. To do this you may need to read an interview with the artist and where did they work?

It is important that your annotation is well researched, thought out and expressed. It is also vitally important that your pages are presented in a creative and interesting way. Have fun with it.

Checklist for assessment
