Skills and Techniques
Within the context of fine art, you must demonstrate the ability to:
Use fine art techniques and processes, appropriate to your personal intentions, for example:
- mark-making
- mono print, etching and block printing
- assemblage
- construction
Use media and materials, as appropriate to your personal intentions, for example:
- charcoal, pastels, pen and ink, crayons and pencil
- watercolour, poster paint and acrylic paint
- found materials
- clay
- digital imagery
- different papers and surfaces on which to work.
Drawing
You must provide evidence of drawing in both your portfolio submission and externally set assignment. These can take different forms depending on intention. It can feature as an element within the developmental process and/or explicitly in the realisation of intentions. Drawing could be demonstrated in your evidence for AO1, AO2 and AO4, but must feature in your evidence for AO3. The particular value and significance of drawing should be determined by the ways in which it addresses purpose and need rather than the extent to which it demonstrates technical mastery, unless this is the explicit intention.
