AIM/PURPOSE How do you think other artists influence other artists? New art and design work is often created by developing others ideas from the past other people’s work then putting them into today’s context. This is part of cultural change and helps us see the world in new and exciting ways. This project will help you to develop research skills, seeking primary sources as well as secondary source materials from books, magazines, journals and the internet. Knowing how to use contextual research to influence your own work is a valuable part of the idea generation stage of the art and design cycle.
