Need help with contextual study for art and design?

I'm in my second year of sixth form doing Graphics. I have written a contextual study that details how illustration has changed in the last couple of centuries with regards to childrens narratives and stories, so I have included research based upon the likes of John Tenniel "Alice in Wonderland", Quentin Blake "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Beatrix Potter "Peter Rabbit", Roger Hargreaves "Mr Men", and others.





The problem I have is writing up the conclusion. I can't just leave it as it is because it would then just simply be artist research, but I have no idea how i would be able to round off this kind of contextual study. Does anybody have any clue as to how I can "tie up loose ends"? Thanks in advance :)|||It's the hardest part, of course! I wonder if you have also discussed how the stories are actually told? By which I mean the vocabulary, complexity of grammar etc? Does the same thing apply to the sophistication of the illustrations?





How long does your conclusion have to be? A whole paragraph or a long sentence? I would suggest that your conclusion should include a summing-up of the differences in the eras you have studied and the attitudes of adults towards children then, and the attitudes now.

Gift giving guide lines....?

Hi. Today, one of my friends who happens to be a girl gave me a small gift, which was one of those books titled like, "Mr. Strong, " by Roger Hargreaves. I have gotten to know her pretty well and I was grateful of the small gesture, but the thing is though that we didn't even talk about exchanging gifts. The other thing is that she gave like 4 of her other friends in my class the same type of book. Now later, I texted her and asked her if the gift had any meaning pertaining to me, being why did she choose the book entitled "Mr. Tickle," to which she replied, "There weren't that many at borders." Now, I have a couple questions: One, does this gift mean anything, because I am assuming it doesn't, or is my friend just trying to keep me from knowing its' true meaning? And two, am I now obligated to give my friend a gift now? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.|||Yeah, you had better give your friend a gift whether there is some other meaning or not.

Has anyone read Cocky's Circle, Little Books?

I use to love them as a small child, and I still do. I still keep my small collection of them and my favourite would have to be 'Times and Rhymes.'-Those nursery rhymes are so clever! They're are a little bit bigger than the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.- I love those too! It just so happens that I've spent my younger years reading the Little Books. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? You know, those little books...they all had a different story and you could sometimes find them near the checkout at Franklins or Woolworths...

if you could help me i would be very grateful|||Mid sixties pop animation. Very thin lines probably made from character sheets. (Which I normally wouldn't advize, but doing that helps when your animating with alot of people) This developed as a very static animation as opposed to the squach and stretch stuff of disney and chuck jones. Cartooning should be intuitive, imitate who's work you enjoy but when you reach a wall, solve it yourself. There are no rules in cartoons!

Where can I find Mr Men t-shirts in Brisbane?

I'm talking about those popular t-shirts with those kiddy characters by Roger Hargreaves on them, e.g. Mr Worry, Little Miss Chatterbox, etc. I'm hoping to get one for my little brother.





I see a lot of people wearing them at uni and around the mall.|||I work at Target (in Melbourne) and we sell Mr Men and Little Miss T-Shirts. I know for certain, cos I'm a registers guy and have served people buying them.


They're usually a little more expensive than the other tops because they are licensed products
