Assignment 3: Figure in Colour Assignment guidance: The subject/ theme for this assignment is a continuation of ‘Human Form’.

● Prior to starting this final ‘assessed’ outcome, during lessons you will/ should

have produced a series of studies, sketch’s, drawings and outcomes, of the

human figure demonstrating a ‘range’ of possible colour options, with a heavy

emphasis of ‘Tone’.

● It is important that your work for this assignment demonstrates your knowledge

and understanding of ‘Light’ and ‘Tone’, and your ability to work using a limited

colour choice.

● In your sketchbook/ journal ‘prep’ or ‘practice’ pieces should be completed to

allow you opportunity to develop, and explore a range of possible outcomes. This

exploration could include:

○ Subject matter - ‘Mavis’ is the usual model (subject) for this work, although

your teacher may provide an alternative life-model for you to work from.

○ Light Effects - Explore a few different ways that light may affect how the

life-model looks.

○ Medium - Chalk Pastels are the medium of choice for this assignment,

be sure that you demonstrate inside your sketchbook/journal thorough

explorations, techniques and methods.

○ Document/record your developments with written ‘reflective’ comments/

annotations to ‘prove’ that you understand what you are doing.
