Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within painting practice

Save your actual school result to count your credits.
This standard asks you to create a body of painting work that shows systematic development and demonstrates you understand painting conventions (like colour, composition, and technique). You need to show that you can regenerate—or develop and transform—your ideas as you work through your project, rather than just repeating the same approach over and over.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Develop a clear proposal and sustained inquiry that guides your painting project from start to finish
- ·Create original paintings that demonstrate deliberate use of colour, surface, composition, and mark-making appropriate to your chosen subject or concept
- ·Engage with relevant artist models and painting traditions (contemporary or traditional) to inform your own decision-making and technique
- ·Show systematic experimentation and development through iterations that transform and build on earlier ideas rather than simply repeating them
- ·Demonstrate increasing technical control and a distinct personal visual language that communicates your ideas through the painting medium
You establish a clear painting topic, experiment with some materials and techniques, show some artist research, and complete paintings with adequate technical skill and basic cohesion.
