Use drawing to demonstrate understanding of conventions appropriate to photography
You need to use drawing and sketching to show you understand how photography works as a medium and the rules photographers follow. This means making sketches, compositional studies, test prints, or photo-based work that proves you know what makes photography different from other art forms and how to use its tools effectively.
You use drawing or sketches to show basic understanding of how photography works, making reasonable choices about materials and techniques.
You deliberately select specific photographic conventions to explore (like composition or lighting) and use targeted drawing strategies to show you understand why photographers use these techniques.
You critically select and fluently apply sophisticated drawing processes to demonstrate in-depth, nuanced understanding of how photographic conventions work together, and your choices are precise and purposeful throughout.
