About the OVAL-006 assignment
The OVAL-006 assignment asks students to create original painting compositions using their imagination and interests. Themes may draw on local traditional motifs and designs, everyday life, festivals, markets, or landscapes with human figures.
The practical assignment requires a portfolio of at least 10 works: four quarter-imperial-sheet works carrying 10 marks and six half-imperial-sheet works carrying 20 marks. The PDF assigns 30 marks to this portfolio, while the official listing gives maximum marks of 100 and a 30% weightage. Internal assessment involves two exams, with their average used for final assessment.
