Final piece
Korun's finished painting.
Assessment commentary
Understanding art, craft and design:
Korun observed Georgia O'Keeffe's work and attempted to reflect these observations in his own painting.
He recreated simple elements such as colour and scale.
Exploring and investigating:
Korun observed and recreated elements of the original work accurately, as visible in the scale and use of
colour in his version. He recognised that this task required him to produce a piece of work that reflected
O’Keeffe’s use of scale and colour. From his observations he made straightforward representations of
the original work.
Creating art, craft and design:
Korun used a variety of shading, texture and colour in his painting. He worked independently and
showed control over the techniques required for this task such as sketching initial outlines, drawing more
detailed plans and painting with a variety of textures and shades.
Next steps
To progress, Korun needs to:
■ develop his observational skills to look at less obvious features and details
■ develop sufficient control of painting and drawing techniques to reflect these observations accurately in
his own work
■ adapt his technical skills to suit different styles of work, including the ability to vary elements such as
brush strokes, depth of colour and level of detail.
