Time Travel

For the Time Travel brief each group has to:

Research and produce a ‘Time Line’ or ‘Conceptual Map’ of your decade which conveys important art and design matters, people, studios, organisations, projects, artefacts, products and exhibitions. You will also have to show the surrounding social historical and political contexts they were involved in: wars, natural disasters, politics and anything of significance that happen during that period. This will be presented to the whole group at the end on term.

Each student will be responsible for an element of the project. For instance one student might research the artists of the period and another might find out about who else was famous during the decade. One of you might look at historical events while another might look at the significant developments in design during your given period.

You will be assessed on how you work in a group but you will also have to produce individual work for your portfolio. You will all present in your portfolio the final group work and the elements you personally researched
