Dear Art Students, 

As you embark on the task of concisely explaining the links and motivation behind your work, please watch the inspiring video from the Tate Modern about Ai Weiwei's 2010 exhibition Sunflower Seeds.  After viewing, please consider the cultural, political, personal and historical links he makes. Write these down or create a mind map in your sketchbook. Then begin to outline your own thoughts pertaining to your own creative processes (first written, then orally).  Your ongoing challenge is to ensure you have the research, resources and links to support your ideas so that during your presentation, you are sure to include the most relevant, thoughtful information. Disclaimer: No copyright infringement intended. This video is being used for educational purposes only.

Finally, please Click here to see a visitor's impression of the resulting sunflower seed exhibition in the Tate's Unilever Serier in the Turbine Hall (before they roped it off, forbidding public interaction with the space).

Thank you!
