Critique your own still life in 100+ words, naming two strengths and two specific corrections.

Place the 12 hues of a colour wheel in correct order and label primary, secondary and tertiary colours.

Mix and paint five tints and five shades of one hue and arrange them as a graded strip.

Experiment with two brush-handling techniques (flat wash, dry brush) and record the results on a test sheet.

Compare watercolour and poster-colour behaviour on the same simple subject and note the differences.

Design a simple logo and a matching visiting card that apply at least three principles of design.

Draft a one-page layout for a school event poster with clear hierarchy of heading, image and text.

Select and sequence six of your strongest works into a portfolio order with a written rationale.
