Question about body of work classification (2 Viewers)

[katiekms]

Say I was doing paintings for my major work, and intending to submit it in the “painting” category. what if i were to use coloured pencil on top, only for highlighting things or outlining something, so little that you couldn’t even tell it was there. would i then have to classify it as a “collection of works” rather than a “painting” because i included a tiny bit of pencil too? or does it not matter? i haven’t added pencil yet but im considering it.

Another thing, what if you were to submit it in the wrong category? would you get in trouble or would they redirect it to the right one?

From what I've been told by my teacher, the classification only really matters in terms of ensuring that your work can be marked accurately. Like, for a work to be marked accurately, it'd need to be marked by someone who specialises in that specific medium and can identify the level of technical skill within that work. So I would say that if you used a little coloured pencil, then it would still be classified as a painting, given you are showing your skill in painting and not using colour pencil.

Also, if you submit it in the wrong category you wouldn't get in trouble but it might be worse for you because the markers could be unsuited to recognise the quality of your work. If the work is very obviously in the wrong category I'm pretty sure they redirect it to the right one.

Hope this helps!!
