How a Mark Carries Meaning

Two students draw the same shell for the same hour — so why does one drawing say something and the other only record it? The formal elements the DfE actually names, and why it never says there are five of them; visual language as the DfE defines it, wider than the elements; and the drawing requirement with the footnote most departments miss. Three drawn figures: four ways of making one grey, a full tonal range, and one object drawn three times for three different jobs. Twelve terms to define, a model annotation, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
