appropriate, making connections between visual, oral or other
elements.

3. Starting points
The following starting points are to start you
thinking about your ideas. You may work
from any one of the starting points, or you
may develop a relevant starting point of your
own that explores the theme ‘Order and
Disorder’.

4. People

5. Cubism Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque

6. Noel Myles

7. Wangechi Mutu
“Females carry the marks,
language and nuances of
their culture more than the
male. Anything that is
desired or despised is
always placed on the female
body.” Piecing together
magazine imagery with
painted surfaces and found
materials, Mutu’s collages
explore the split nature of
cultural identity, referencing
colonial history, fashion and
contemporary African
politics."

8. Patrick Bremer
His work
predominantly focuses
on the figure and
portraiture, in oils or
collage. In 2007 he won
the DeLazlo Foundation
Award for his portraits at
The Royal Society of
Portrait Painters Annual
Exhibition at The Mall
Galleries in London.

10. Ed Fairbairn

12. Lorraine Shemesh

13. Kathe Kollwitz
Kathe Kollwitz was inspired to create drawings and etchings based
on wartime events and poverty in society

14. Places

15. Romain Veillon
French Urban Photographer

17. Aerial Landscapes made from mosaic tiles

18. Artist Gerhard Marx in
conjunction with Spier
Architectural Arts
recently created an
enormous sculptural
mosiac of an aerial
photograph of
Johannesburg, South
Africa. Seven
professional mosaic
artists, together with
nine apprentices
worked for 5 months to
complete the project
using natural stone
such as marble and
travertine, fragments
of red brick, ceramic
elements and
chippings of Venetian
smalti glass

19. Tilt
• Internationally recognized graffiti artist Tilt has just completed this
eye-popping interior design work for the Au Vieux Panier hotel in
Marseille, France. The hotel has just five rooms that are annually
reconceptualized by commissioned artists and designers, somewhat
similar to NYC’s Carlton Arms. For this space entitled Panic Room
(which might aptly describe your mental state after a few nights in
this Willy Wonkaesque environment) Tilt divided the room perfectly
down the middle, one half covered entirely in his trademark vibrant
and bubbly graffiti and the other half left stark white. (see next slide)

21. Ursus Wehrli
Wehrli produced 2 books in which he takes ordinary scenes to pieces
and puts them back together again in a more odered or organised way.
He creates order out of disorder
Marc Quinn “Alison Lapper”

24. Grayson Perry
Decorated his ceramic
pots with vivid images
from his childhood.
You could look at the
good and bad times
from someone’s
memory.

25. Andrew Wyeth
Lookijg at the idea of Inside and
Outside. Andrew Wyeth produced
paintings showing calm interiors.

26. Objects

27. Lisa Milroy
Elizabeth Peyton “Eminem” Mario Testino “Kate Moss”

28. Her series of paintings of objects in groups (rows, clusters, layers or
grids) borrowed the language of hardware catalogues, shop display
windows and formal arrangements in art and photography, while yet
creating autonomous visual statements.

29. Michael Mapes
New York artist Michael
Mapes creates elaborate
specimen boxes by dissecting
photographs and then
compartmentalizing individual
fragments within plastic bags,
glass vials, magnifiers, in
gelatin capsules and on insect
pins. The boxes exist in an
uncanny area between
photography and sculpture,
functioning both as portraits
and as fascinating scientific
canvases that make you
question the the logic behind
the organization of each piece.

30. During a residency at St Bartholomews and the Royal London Hospital, Gilbert
painted patients undergoing facial surgery for cancer or deformity and patients
who had suffered severe facial injuries from car crashes, shotgun wounds or
assault. These portraits interpret the patients' physical appearance before, after
and, occasionally, during their corrective surgery

31. Leonardo Ulian
Ulian carefully solders a myriad of computer components, circuitry and
microchips to create these precisely symmetrical mandalas.

32. Todd McLellan
• In Things Come Apart, Todd McLellan exposes the inner
working of 50 objects and 21,959 individual components
as he reflects on the permanence of vintage machines
built several decades ago—sturdy gadgets meant to be
broken and repaired—versus today’s manufacturing
trend of limited use followed by quick obsolescence (see
next slide)

33. Tom McLellen

34. Andreas Gursky
The photograph 99 Cent (1999) was taken at a 99 Cents Only store on
Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and depicts its interior as a stretched
horizontal composition of parallel shelves, intersected by vertical white
columns, in which the abundance of "neatly labelled packets are transformed
into fields of colour, generated by endless arrays of identical products,
reflecting off the shiny ceiling"

35. El Anatsui
El Anatsui used bottle
tops, and aluminium and
copper wire to create this
wall flag. Think about
multiples of objects
ordered in some way.
Could you create
something by
ordering/combining
multiple pieces?

36. Cornelia Parker

37. Giseppi
Arcimbaldo
(1527 - 1597)
Arcimbaldo was a court
portrait painter - and was
employed to paint portraits of
the royal family and officials in
Vienna and Prague. He is
remembered for his
imaginative 'surreal' paintings
of people made from objects.
Inspired I think by the Celtic
and early Christian tradition of
Green Man carvings on
Churches no one else would
paint like this until Salvador
Dali and the Surrealists nearly
400 years later

38. Natural World

39. Judith Reece textiles
“The colours, forms and
textures in nature are
the influences of my
work. I live in North
Yorkshire and am
fascinated by the
colours of the sea, the
dramatic topography of
the moors and the ever
changing sky”

40. Andy Goldsworthy
Inspired by the order and shape of natural forms.
You could look at patterns found in nature…

41. Cell structure

42. Jan Niedojadio
Claes Oldenburg
Jan Niedojadio - sculptures based on organic natural forms

43. The Sculpture of Jan Niedojadlo
Challenges the assumed and
traditional notion of artistic
engagement. In his large scale pieces,
Niedojadlo invites us to use a range of
senses beyond our sight alone. the
works are constructed from a variety of
recycled materials, including foam,
rubber and carpet and incorporate
subtle effects of lighting, sound and
smell. These gigantic sculptures are
often, though not exclusively, inspired
by natural and biological forms.
Uniquely, visitors are encouraged to
enter the sculptures, to fully immerse
themselves within these distinct 'other
worlds' and experience the sights,
sounds and smells within. Niedojadlo
describes his work as 'art to viewed on
your back - and not just with eyes and
brain - but experienced with your whole
body'.

45. William Daniels
Daniels begins his painting process
by first constructing models and lo-fi
maquettes, often of well-known paintings,
from cereal boxes, masking tape and
cigarette papers. After each model has
been completed Daniels starts the slow
process of rendering in painstaking detail
each of its cuts, tears and folds.

46. Activities

47. • Artist Meg Hitchock (previously) has completed a number of new,
elaborate collage works with letters cut from assorted books
including the Koran and Salmon Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses. The
patience required to assemble these absolutely astounds me. If
you’re unfamiliar with her work here’s a quote from her artist
statement:
• In my text drawings I deconstruct the word of God by cutting letters
from sacred writings and rearranging them to form a passage from
another holy book. I may cut letters from the Bible and reassemble
them as a passage from the Koran, or use letters cut from the Torah
to recreate an ancient Tantric text. The individual letters are glued to
the paper in a continuous line of type, without spaces or
punctuation, in order to discourage a literal reading of the text. By
bringing together the sacred writings of diverse traditions, I create a
visual tapestry of inspired writings, all pointing beyond specifics to
the universal need for connection with something greater than
oneself. (see next slide)

50. Pablo Picasso “Guernica”
Picasso’s painting portrays the horrors of war by creating a chaotic feeling which is
achieved by the fragmentation of this image.

51. David Hockney
David Hockney Pearblossom Highway 1986 multiple photos have
been layered and arranged to create a large slightly fractured
image - like cubism

53. Jan Vermeer
Vermeer’s
“Milkmaid” shows a
woman going about
her daily activities.
You could also look
at your own daily
routine?

54. Imagination

55. Robert Rauschenberg
You could also use a
mixed media approach to
your work . Here
Rauschenberg uses
collage, paint and a
stuffed eagle on his
canvas.

56. Hannah Hoch
Dada or Dadaism was a
form of artistic anarchy
born out of disgust for the
social, political and cultural
values of the time. It
embraced elements of art,
music, poetry, theatre,
dance and politics. Dada
was not so much a style of
art like Cubism or Fauvism;
it was more a protest
movement with an anti-
establishment manifesto.

57. Using collage to create imaginary scenes
Thomas Grunfeld

58. Tomohiro Inaba
Inaba is a creative
sculptor who produces
eye-catching figures
that look like they are
disintegrating into thin
air. The Japanese
artist's steel sculptures
titled Promise of Our
Star and Next to the
World are particularly
effective in the visual
illusion. Each figure
offers a duality that lies
somewhere between
solid sculpture and
three dimensional
scribbles.
