The shapes, colours and patterns of shells have provided artists, designers and photographers with a rich source of inspiration. Shells have also been incorporated into the work of sculptors, jewellery makers and textile artists. Investigate this theme and develop your own ideas, making reference to appropriate work by others.
As a starting point for this question, consider shells and their unique structure. Observe them closely from varying angles. Cross sections, close ups, tones, textures, their minute details.
