Instructions to Supervisors
The Council will provide sheets of white or near-white cartridge paper (37.5 cm x 55 cm or half-imperial). The examination
centre may provide alternative types of the same size, but not cardboards, ivory boards nor any other type of glossy paper.
The question paper must be given to the candidates a fortnight before the examination.
You should ensure that the candidates comply with the instructions given below.

Instructions to Candidates
Write your name and index number in ink in the spaces provided above.
Except where a question asks for a particular medium to be used, you are advised to consider your choice of different media
and processes. You are reminded that the following are permissible only for design work: printing from lino, any vegetable such
as potato, any fruit, or any material such as hardboard or string that will give an interesting texture, stencil (cut in the
examination room), wax resist, coloured inks, poster paints and water-colours.
No paper, either blank or prepared, would be allowed in the examination room.
You are required to produce original work. Candidates who fail to do so will be severely penalized.
Instruments and blank tracing paper are allowed, but you are advised to restrict your use of them as far as possible when
designing.
Write clearly the number of the question, your name and index number in the top right-hand corner of your paper. This
corner should be kept clear of paint; it may prove impossible to award marks for your work unless your name and index
number are legible. Except for this information, you must not write on the front of your picture.
Answer Question 1 in section A and any other question in section B. Your picture should fill or approximately fill your sheet of
paper.
