Practical · Observation, composition and portfolio
Nature and Object Study develops accurate drawing through two or three natural and geometric forms observed from a fixed point of view, using light and shade. Painting Composition develops an imaginative arrangement of human figures and a clear visual focus. Portfolio assessment records process and selected work.
- Begin a still-life study by checking proportions and relative positions.
- Use light direction consistently to show form and volume.
- Plan a composition with a focal point, balanced space and deliberate colour choices.
- Keep sketches and revisions so the portfolio shows development, not only finished pieces.
