PART FIVE – THE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA Demonstration of Technical and Visual Skills I had to plan how I would get the dynamic perspective I wanted for the piece (lying down, looking up).  I had to arrange separate images I had photographed into an effective composition.

PART FIVE – REFLECTIONS ON THE FINAL PIECE and MOVING FORWARD

PART FIVE – Self Assessment of the Previous Assignments

I have been working on Drawing 1 for a year now and have gained so much from it.  It has also been frustrating and difficult – but I know this is all part of the process of growth and development. My tutor’s comments and suggestions have been invaluable – I have used them to try …
