What is your attention drawn to in the image? What reaction do you have to the image? What do you find particularly interesting about the photograph? What could the image mean or be about? How could it relate to the idea of ‘alive/Dead’? Has it given you any ideas for photographs you would like to create?

Good luck with the tasks.

You will be asked to hand this in to your teacher in your first lesson and it will be marked in the first week of college. If you do not have access to a printer, then this can be hand written and you could print the image when you start in September.
