Art and Design A comprehensive guide for creative artists - Aaltodoc

Crafts other than those detailed above cannot be accepted.”
Indeed, a sketch provides evidence of work put forward as
well as the process. It can also stand in for the final design
even when the artwork is not fully complete. That is to say,
do not take the planning session for granted.
When the exam ends, wait for final instructions from the
invigilator. Where possible, use this time to check if you
have done what is expected of you.
In case there is a mistake. Do not panic. It is safe to ignore
that omission or misinterpretation than wasting time trying
to rectify what may not be achievable. Endeavour to correct
only that—viable mistake. In general, spellings of your
name and index number are the most important.
Assuming that the process of working to finish the exam
or practical test took more (than two) papers attach all—of
them together with a staple wire or thread and hand them
in to the supervisor or invigilator in a pile.
In conclusion, remember to always clean up and organise
the space or place where your work has been done. Return
back all the furniture and leave the place in proper order.
This is a precaution for any organised artist.
Tasks for revision
In this subsection, various graphic designs have been sorted
out into categories using a table for learners to locate them
without difficulty and only one question is expected to be
answered. Materials are restricted to flat paper, ink and/or
colours.
In situations where calligraphy has to be used, learners must
be aware of the following (Uganda Advanced Certificate of
Education, Regulations and Syllabuses, 2009 – 2012, pg 225):
• Calligraphy art should be written with a pen or a
brush made for writing lettering.
• Smudged work leads to loss of marks
• Fluent and direct use of artistic language is an
added advantage.
• Lettering, spacing, legibility and composition.
• Planning (sketching), craftsmanship,
understanding colour harmony and colour
balances.
All this and more will be used in a random miscellany to
achieve a very attractive design.
Here is a table display showing other basic visual/
identification symbols in their exclusive categories:
Category one Category two
Badges Book covers
Trademark Book jackets
Stamps Book fronts
Emblem Labels
Monogram CD and cassette slips
Logo T-shirt
Category three Category four

In some measures, the four categories listed by the table
provide a range of graphic design tasks in addition to
the activities typical of day-today life. You are expected
to answer one question and state the category number in
which it belongs:
Category one
