EVALUATION GUIDANCE
In order to pass this project, you will need to write a short evaluation.  This should clearly define the processes and techniques you have investigated, as well as outlining any high moments and low moments.

•    Begin by giving a brief outline of the project – describing what you were being asked to do. Talk about why you selected your particular tool, what design and drawing opportunities did it offer you? What visual qualities appealed about your tool?  - mention specific shapes, colours, textures, surfaces, details etc.
•    Talk through all the different processes you encountered, keeping it brief & informative, which were the most successful in your view, & how have your existing skills been extended in the process. Use the checklist of techniques above to ensure you cover everything.
•     Talk about the artists you researched (Dine, Nicolle, Banksy etc.) why they were relevant and how you used what you learnt about them in your own work.
•    Reflect on how you worked throughout the project, did you manage your time well? 
•      What things might you have improved upon? 
•     What have you learnt about the way you work best and how you approach tasks?
•    To make your thoughts clearer within your evaluation  please include images from your sketchbook that help illustrate your answers
