1. Briefly explain the exhibition info, i.e. who was exhibiting? Where was it?
The exhibition's name is "Perspective on Collage", and it was exhibited in The Photographers Gallery, Soho. 

2. Include photographs that you have taken yourself at the exhibitions



3. Find some information about the artists/designers you liked - find information on the internet and in your exhibition guides/leaflets you collected

I liked Anna Parkina's work. She's a russian artist, born in Moscow in 1979. She's had a lot of exhibitions around the world and her work is pretty well known.

Roy Arden is a canadian artist born in 1957. He's taught photography is vancouver and is currently a guest teacher in germany. 

4. Select your 2 favourite pieces of work and write about them explaining what they were about and why you liked them

Roy Arden's "Sweeper" was interesting to hear about. I liked it because the artist sweeped up the trash from his floor and put together a collage. A method you wouldn't normally think of using, so he's thinking out of the box.

I also liked Anna Parkina's collage, untitled 6. It's very creative and looks, at first glance, very organised. When you look at the picture carefully however, you'll notice a lot of interesting details. It took me a while to figure out what the base picture was.

5. Select your 2 least favourite pieces of work 
I disliked Clunie Reed's work, because it was too random and a bit pointless. It was surpring to see them in a photography gallery. It was surprising to see them in any gallery.

6. Conclude with a paragraph about the overall impression of the exhibition.  Did you enjoy it? Has it given you ideas and inspiration for what you might study at University? or as a career? How relevant was it to your exam project? What ideas will you take forward in your own work? etc.

You have made a good start to this but you need to add further detail. You were asked to discuss 2 pieces you liked and 2 pieces you disliked - you need to explain what it is you like about Roy Arden's work yes that is interesting but why do you find that interesting? You also need to come back to this, include your own photographs and ensure you answer all the questions
