Year 7 Graphics - Home Study

The Rules

  • Home study is not optional. You are expected to do it.
  • Home study is for your benefit to help you to progress and if you don't do your home study, or you do it to a very poor standard then you will have to stay in at lunchtime to complete/redo it.  
  • We do know that sometimes there are really genuine reasons for not getting homework in on time. Make sure that you see someone way before the home study due date if your reason is genuine.
  • Forgetting to bring your home study to school counts as not doing it.

HOME COMPUTER NOT WORKING? Use a school one - there are plenty in school.

HOME PRINTER NOT WORKING: As above.

DOG, SISTER, MUM, SNAKE ETC ate your homework. We have pretty much heard most of these, so no, they are not reasons for not handing in home study.

FORGOT TO DO/BRING IN MY HOME STUDY: be more organised, if you can remember your lunch/lunch money then you can remember your home study.

LEFT MY HOME STUDY AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE: as above, be more organised

NEED HELP: Come and ask.

GENUINE REASON? Come and see us well before the day the homework is due.

SELLOTAPE IS BANNED: Use a glue stick.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: Get your homework done.

Home Study 1

The Task 

1. LOOK at the exemplars in the gallery (or on the 'Exemplars' PowerPoint)

2. Create an inspiration board on A4 LANDSCAPE paper based on Pop Art.

Tips: 

Use things like bits of paint charts to show colours, maybe bits of fabric, cellophane, handwritten words, paint.... the list is endless, but please remember that you will need to stick this work into your book so it should be flat without too many bits sticking out.
