Beyond the Exam: Our Comprehensive Artistic Approach
Exam Components that Showcase True Artistic Skill
The Elementary Drawing Grade Exam tested students across four critical areas:

- Memory Drawing – Visualisation and retention abilities
- Object Drawing – Observation and representation skills
Each of these components requires not just technical skill but creativity, observation and imagination. Every paper is three hours long, spread across two consecutive days, making this a rigorous test of artistic dedication.
