Mind Map for The Sea Project Y9 into Y10

This is work that we started in class and will be your first homework back in September.  If you are using an A3 sketchbook it should be one page, if you are using an A4 sketchbook it will go across a double page spread.  You will also be asked to make a title page so leave room.
Wightlink - Pirates might link to Blackgang Chine



You should complete an A3 mind map about The Sea which incorporates Seascapes, Fish, Boats and Harbours.  For ideas on how to create an interesting mind map look at this link from the student art guide.

Steps to Creating a Mind Map
  1. Create a Central Idea. The central idea is the starting point of your Mind Map and represents the topic you are going to explore. ...
  2. Add branches to your map. (Seascape, Boats, Harbours, Beach, Sea Life
  3. Add keywords. ...
  4. Colour code your branches. ...
  5. Include images, thumbnail sketches

The Mind Map on Sea Life is the closest to the idea above in terms of the first four steps listed.  You can do this by hand or on the computer as these examples show.
