● Prior to starting this final ‘assessed’ outcome, during lessons you will/ should
have produced a series of studies, sketch’s, drawings and outcomes, of the
human figure demonstrating a ‘range’ of possible colour options, with a heavy

● It is important that your work for this assignment demonstrates your knowledge
and understanding of ‘Light’ and ‘Tone’, and your ability to work using a limited
colour choice.
● In your sketchbook/ journal ‘prep’ or ‘practice’ pieces should be completed to
allow you opportunity to develop, and explore a range of possible outcomes. This
exploration could include:
○ Subject matter - ‘Mavis’ is the usual model (subject) for this work, although
your teacher may provide an alternative life-model for you to work from.
○ Light Effects - Explore a few different ways that light may affect how the
life-model looks.
○ Medium - Chalk Pastels are the medium of choice for this assignment,
be sure that you demonstrate inside your sketchbook/journal thorough
explorations, techniques and methods.
○ Document/record your developments with written ‘reflective’ comments/
annotations to ‘prove’ that you understand what you are doing.
