5-6 A-L3.2 |
make appropriate choices of observational drawing strategies for own artmaking
7-8 A-L3.2 |
||
| observe and depict variations within the art elements in a wide range of subjects (e.g., depict the effects of light and shadow with tonal charcoal drawing; mix a range of observed natural colours with tempera paint; use a horizon line, converging lines, and linear perspective to create the illusion of depth in a landscape; apply a range of textures to a clay sculpture)
5-8 A-L3.1 |
