Visual Arts: Still-life of Sunflowers - Bobby : Grade Commentary
Bobby has demonstrated a high level of competence in using different artistic concepts and techniques to represent the subject matter. There is evidence of careful observation through the use of overlapping, different perspectives of the flowers and segmenting of the petals. A thorough understanding of spatial awareness is evident in the focus on a cropped viewpoint. There is a high level of competence in the use of light and shadow but texture is lacking in some areas. The consistent use of warm colours for the still life creates a strong contrast and defines it from the cool colours of the background. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard at the end of Stage 3.
