personal. The design has a precise level of detail in the drawing and cutting out of
the cardboard that is accurate and clear. There is a very strong understanding of
shading and using different techniques e.g. Cross hatching to reflect the light and
dark areas. Black pen is used creatively and with confidence throughout the piece.
The collage does show a student with excellent technical skills (cutting, arranging,
layout, gluing etc.) throughout the piece. There is clear evidence you have an
excellent ability and a mature approach to your work.
