The student includes effective explorations and experimentations that develop a visual language in the submission, demonstrating a thorough approach to various artistic mediums such as graphite, charcoal, oil pastel, and Indian ink. They clarify the purpose behind their explorations, particularly in the use of photographs for figure study to enhance realism and emotional depth. Additionally, the student experiments with art-making techniques purposefully, as seen in their thoughtful material choices and the intentional design of their sculpture. However, the student does not fully accomplish the purpose of their exploration and experimentation, as they need to articulate how their techniques contribute to the exploration of thalassophobia and the emotions evoked in their works.
