Here are a few homework assignments for the first half term to get you started with your BTEC Art & Design course. As you progress through the course, you will be expected to set your own homework tasks, depending on what you need to do next. These tasks are called self directed homeworks and are not an excuse for doing nothing. There is an element of trust involved when allowing you to set your own work, but hopefully you will want to complete the work at home, as you love art so much!! A stars and Distinction stars are earnt by trying your very, very best : )
