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.
