This internal standard is assessed at school throughout the year. Students use drawing as a tool to show they understand how sculpture works — not just to make pretty sketches, but to plan, explore, and communicate sculptural ideas. Drawing here is broad: it includes rough sketches, detailed plans, notes, models (maquettes), photocollage, and even three-dimensional or four-dimensional work. The key is that the drawing must show the student genuinely understands the rules, methods, and ideas that are specific to sculpture as an art form.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Create a body of drawing work that explores and communicates sculptural ideas — this could include sketches, plans, notes, maquettes, photocollage, or 3D models
- ·Show that you understand the conventions of sculpture: how materials behave, how form and space work, how sculptors think and plan
- ·Select drawing materials, techniques, and processes deliberately to suit your sculptural ideas
- ·For higher grades, show that your choices are purposeful and that you apply your skills fluently and with critical thinking
You select and use drawing processes, materials, and techniques with a basic understanding of how they relate to sculpture. Your drawing shows you know what sculptural conventions are and you can apply them.
