Other Work Samples for:

Cam has provided a stylised representation of the environment, while experimenting with pattern-making. There is evidence of an understanding of some drawing techniques; however, there are some inconsistencies in the composition and the juxtaposition of tonal and linear work. Cam has provided some strong compositional structuring in which diagonal placement promotes a sense of movement. There is an understanding of depth, and the relationship between the natural and the built environments is clear. The illustrative quality reveals sound graphic consideration and there is dynamic use of tonal contrast in some parts of the grid. There is some evidence of consideration of the subjective frame (houses, memories, implied human presence). The work represents some understanding of how the frames provide a point of view in artmaking. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard.
