Students would take a landscape photo and interpret the different elements into sections of colour.

Painted onto a textured background such as cardboard.

Buttons, found objects and other materials should be used and layered to create interest and focal points.

Investigate, experiment and explore ways of applying and combing colour.

No right or wrong answer.

Consider new ways of making textures and responding to their landscape.

Sectioning the landscape into segments, I drew an outline in pencil and painted directly onto the cup.

I did not plan where the colours would go before painting onto the cup

I experimented, and took risks to create a colourful and aesthetic outcome.

Making decision and taking risks. _{Students have to decide how to combine materials and what colours to use.}

Understanding of colour. _{How colours work together and what message they convey.}

Exploring and investigating. _{Students explore mixed media to create texture and depth. Breaking boundaries of 'what and how' materials should be used. No right or wrong.}

Elements that were more 3D to create more interest and levels.

Created a colour palette before hand.

The use of colour to evoke a positive and pleasant mood to my cup.

Detail within the cup to create interest. This was done through beading.

Lines created within the thread. This creates its own individual patterns.
