Recommended

Pupils should take every opportunity outside of school hours to familiarise themselves with relevant artistic
imagery available by visiting Art museums, Exhibitions and Art Galleries. Gathering primary research and
information by taking photographs and sketching, and secondary research using the internet together with
reading of relevant books are highly recommended.
