What is model planning sentence?Show answer
"My project on coastlines starts with observational drawings of rock pools and photographs of eroded cliffs (AO3 record), moves into research on the seascapes of an artist whose use of texture I analyse and respond to (AO1 develop), then tests the same composition in charcoal, monoprint and mixed media before refining the most expressive into a small series (AO2 refine), and ends with a large mixed-media final piece that realises my intention to capture the violence of the sea and links rough texture to a stormy tonal range (AO4 present)." This scores well because each objective is named, evidenced and connected to the others.
