In the media

In 2020 I made the short video, ‘In the Media’, to introduce the weekly challenge to students working at home during lockdown. The main part of the video consisted of eleven artworks, each made in response to an image found in the media.

I can’t find the original file to cut out the now obsolete start and end of the video, so I thought I’d share the images here. If you currently attend painting classes with me, these images will be relevant to the lesson I have planned for you on Wednesday 11th June.
