Other Work Samples for:

Kim has experimented with some drawing techniques, such as line and shading, to represent the subject matter. There is evidence of careful observation in the detailed section of a bicycle. Although there has been minimal use of tools, Kim has made effective choices to represent subject matter and used a high level of competence for the variations in tone, line, patterns and shape. Kim needs to further develop drawing techniques to depict texture to illustrate the qualities of subject matter. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard at the end of Stage 2.
