Teacher’s Comments:
This Learner who is achieving Early Level is expressing themselves by adding personal details to their drawings. In the portrait there is a lovely big smile and long eyelashes and in the flower drawing they have decided on the composition and added a pattern.
They have used line freely to represent the characteristics of the subject matter and although some shapes are fairly abstract and drawn more from imagination, these drawings are easily recognisable.
Teacher’s Comments:
This Learner has shown Early Level creating with this ‘Sea Creature’ project. Using images from magazines they have researched and recorded images of things that live in the sea.
Learners then created their own idea for a sea creature choosing their own shapes, colours and patterns.
The Learner has been given time to freely explore the clay before making their final piece. There is reference to their original plan in creating their final piece. The learner has only deviated slightly from this; something which is common at first level.
Teacher’s comments:
This Learner is achieving Early
