Rendering

For my Grade 10s ....

Rendering is the name given to a particular style of drawing. 

This style tries to show a 'client' (or your teacher!) what your design will look like.

Grade 10 exams

Your 6 hour practical exam will combine the drawing, painting, ceramics and jewellery skills you have learnt this year.

Activity 1:
Look at the Rorke's Drift pot seen below. The real article will be  in your studio for 3 hours.
Make a coloured study (or a number of studies) to show the form, colour, patterns and texture of this pot. You may use any media or combination of media.



Have a look at the examples shown here - done by Zama Zikhali when she was in Grade 10!


Activity 2:

This is a drawing activity. You may use pencils or pen and ink. Try and capture the illusion of space, the shininess & forms of the seeds, and the cylindrical form of the wire. 
You should leave out the bag in the foreground.

Evaluate your own sourcebook!

For my Grade 12s and Grade 11s ....

As you work on your sourcebook, you can keep trying this self evaluation tool, so that you can identify your strengths and weaknesses. 
It is based on the new Grade 12 Exam rubric for LO1.
