This has allowed NAME to focus on painting, drawing, and 3 dimensional modelling in a range of materials. NAME has performed satisfactorily most of the time but would have benefitted from working harder at disciplines that don’t always come easily, such as drawing. The quality of NAME’s homework usually demonstrates effort and commitment and usually deadlines are met. NAME has shown an openness to try out new techniques which is helping him to improve the standard of his final outcomes.
