5. 1. AO3 - Brainstorm the starting point
COLLECTIONS
Lisa Milroy’s paintings are based on collections of everyday objects. Tony Cragg and Jean Shin have produced installations made from collections of found objects. Christian Boltanski often uses photographs of people and collections of related objects in his installations.
Study appropriate sources and produce your own response to one of the following:
EITHER (a) a collection of related objects
OR (b) a collection of found objects
Produce a brainstorm for the theme that uses word association to generate ideas.
Use the images on the next slide to inspire you...

Artists and other sources you want to investigate
CLOSE -UP
TOP TIP:
You could include some small thumbnail drawings to show your idea visually
