Wall Plaque

I had to produce a piece of writing for a wall plague aimed at 12-14 year olds. I had to think about what to write to help the children engage with the work and chose to focus on how it was produced because when showing my 14 year old sister a photograph of the artwork, that is what interested her. Also facts and figures, in a non complex writing style, are useful for children that age for research on school trips which is often the reason why children of that age visit art galleries. Although I used phrases like "light sensitive paper" and "photographic print", I feel that I have explained them in a way children of that age will understand. I feel that the facts and figures are the most important focus as they are the things children of that age will understand. Where as if focused on the concept behind the work I feel children would lose interest or feel like it is above them.
