This standard asks you to use drawing techniques—like sketches, compositional notes, and photographs—to show you understand how photography works as an art form. You need to arrange visual elements (line, shape, colour, tone, etc.) and apply design principles (balance, rhythm, contrast, etc.) in your photography work to demonstrate knowledge of photography conventions (its rules, characteristics, and how it's used in art).
