Terry stringer is a visual artist. He was born in England 1946.

He trained at New Zealand's premier art school, Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland.

He graduated with Honors in 1967 and in the following years received virtually every significant scholarship and award available to New Zealand artists. In the late 1970s he was awarded the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Scholarship three times.

Stringer works in two dimensons: painting and arranging the elements of his sculptures into three - always aware of the differences between the two.


 * //Thanks Mitchell. A good first effort here.// //I think this is a Level 3 Biography// (Have a look at the matrix on the biography page)

//In terms of next steps for writing a biography, I think you need to consider the following://

Purpose:** You have provided limited detail about the artist's early life and influences. To make it a Level 4 you'd have needed to explain why he is significant enough to warrant attention. You've used some quite spohisticated langauge and given a good descripton of what Stringers art is about, this is great (I trust you understand what it all means?!) (L3)
 * Text Organisation:** Your work is well sequenced and you've used paragraphs but it is limited in length. This and a conclusion is your next step. (L3)
 * Language Features**: Good to see that you know you can use the persons last name only after you've named them in full once. This makes things much less clumsy. Sentences split half way though the text? (L3).
