Helpful Advice
Task 1 - Make a collage of album covers
Using the internet and magazines collect a variety of different album and produce a full
page collage using these images. Think about your presentation and how you can
make the page creative. Remember to make a background colour, add a title. Try to
be creative with your choice of materials e.g. collaged border using music paper?
Task 2 - Draw your favourite album cover
Using the images from Task 1, choose your favourite album cover and produce an
accurate copy of it. Take care with any lettering. You should try to make this drawing
fill the page. It may be useful to print off a bigger image so that you can copy detail
more easily. Add colour to your drawing using any 2D material e.g. paint, coloured
pencil, pen etc.
Task 3 - Make a fact file on Kandinsky
Using the internet produce a fact file about Kandinsky
• Collect images of his artwork
• Information about him – when he lived? What type of artwork he made?
• Add a title (Kandinsky)
• Present all your information creatively on your page. Try to add your own opinions
about his work– which pieces do you like? Why?
Task 4 - Draw a piece of Kandinsky's artwork
Using an image of Kandinsky’s work from Task 3; copy a piece of his artwork. Try to
draw the image accurately and add colour. Fill the whole page. (You might want to
stick the image you have copied from onto the back of the page so we can see what it
should look like).
Task 5 - Find out about a different artist inspired by music
Using the internet research a new artist that has been inspired by music – this could be
musical instruments, lyrics, concerts, songs etc.
• Collect images and Information about your artist – when he lived? What type of
artwork he made?
• Add a title (Their name) Present all your information creatively on your page. Try to
add your own opinions about his work– which pieces do you like? Why?
