How you use these small projects is up to you of course but the following is my initial idea of how they will be used with 2nd Year students.

  • Students must complete any 10 of these Skills Tests during the year, 5 before Christmas.
  • The Skill Tests will account for 20% of Christmas and Summer Exams.
  • The student may choose which Skill Tests to do and when. (Only during Practical Classes)
  • The class before the student wishes to do a SKill Test, they will inform the teacher of their intention and may take the chosen drawing home to study.
  • The Skill Test must be completed during the next class, without the assistance of the teacher or other students.
