VISCOM EXAM DISCUSSION

[nhiwee]

Circle on right, three lines on top and four lines on left.
There seem to be many conflicting answers for that one.

YESSS THATS WHAT I GOT!
I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONES GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS!

LOL yeah most likely it is the three lines on the top and four on the left then the circle on the right as thats what it looks like from the spectator point.

Everyone seemed to have spent too much time on the rendering question and had to rush through the rest
Hence making so much mistakes on the orthogonal question, there was likely so much hidden shit as it was 21 marks..

[playsimme]

my rendering was atrocious.. I think a 5 year old coulda done better  my shadow looked awkward and random. do they mark you down if the final design looks 'rough' but still visually appealing? I used markers and did a rough render- didn't perfect it

"A total of ten marks were available for this question. One mark was awarded for correct and consistent use of the light
source across the whole drawing. Where no light source was indicated, the student could not be awarded this mark.
Three marks each were allocated to each material: wood, shiny reflective plastic and textured rubber. Students needed
to show excellent rendering of the texture and an effective application of tone in order to achieve full marks.
Generally, the rendering was undertaken with passion and vigour. Students coped well with this question, although most
were unable to apply a consistent light source despite having the option to choose their own. Most students were able to
confidently render the materials indicated. It should be noted that overall brown ‘colouring’, whether or not it has tone,
was not considered adequate to receive full marks for showing natural wood texture. Natural wood texture needed to be
indicated using an appropriate lineal pattern. Students are encouraged to use the resource material provided in the
resource book to support their responses"

That was how the VCAA examiners assessed last years rendering question.. not looking so good for me, at least I chose a light source LOL
