(Section C) – Open Section [Drawing]

Theme: Students’ Choice

Any drawing using any medium/media may be submitted into this category. The pupil is

required to hand in a statement of intent or rationale [no more than 150 words] explaining

the conceptual underpinning or theme of their work. In the case of a more traditional

drawing, for example a still life, the pupil needs to discuss his/her technical process and their

choice of medium.

This section has been added to allow pupils to submit work that they are currently working

on as part of their year portfolio or in their own private capacity.

All drawings submitted must be mounted using black card but there is no size

stipulated for this section.
