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.
