Other Work Samples for:

Chris has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in using forms and techniques to represent the subject matter of an insect and its features. There is evidence of observation in the correct number of legs and antennae but there is a lack of segmentation between the head and body. Sound choices have been made regarding materials, construction techniques and spatial arrangements to create a three-dimensional structure, but there is limited surface decoration and the display placement could be more effective. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 2.
