Thanks for the reply!

Strange, where ever I went I was always the best out of the best in technique and perspective. I'm private art teacher myself. Please, I would be very grateful to you, if you could show me better drawings for assessment task.

Portfolio? They didn't request any portfolios, if they did I would got an offer already.

I'm not sure in which way I didn't respect the task? I have done 6 drawings of places and spaces, and I find them interesting. They are not copied from anywhere and are quick sketches - "They can be really mundane".

Compare mine works to this applicant works for 2012, he was invited to an interview.
His works:

Are they really better than mine?

I'm very sorry if i sound rude or agitated. :wink:

Assessment task:

Illustrate graphically (sketches, drawings, etc) your spontaneous response to SIX SPACES/PLACES THAT YOU FIND STIMULATING AND INTERESTING. They can be really mundane; we are not looking for drawings of architectural masterpieces. It should be a quick and personal response. Think of a space you really like; it might be your room at home, in your grandparent’s house, your loft, in a tent, your garden, etc. and use your imagination.

You should submit a total of six FLAT A4 size pages (paper only, no metal/glass/wood etc). The responses should include at least four freehand pen or pencil sketches or drawings which are NOT derived/copied from photographs. They must be originals and un-mounted. Add a short written text (200 words in total) to explain the nature of your response and your choice of subject.

Did I get something wrong?

Yes, you didn't respect the task and that candidate did. The mask is NOT a space/ place, neither are the chairs or the drawer! You may have been the best wherever you went, but that doesn't mean you're the best of all candidates at the Bartlett... sorry!

Please don't get angry,I didn't mean that i'm the best of all candidates at the Bartlett, just is there really something wrong with the technique or perspective?

And if I would made any background behind sculpture/drawer/chairs, it would automatically comply with task?
Like this?

I'm not angry, I'm just guessing that's what they thought. And I don't know, but the way you did it, that's no place/space, just an object.

Thank you for the info, now it makes perfect sense why they rejected me. They have 10000 of great drawing applicants, why they should invite me if i didn;t even comply with simple task.

Now I will be waiting for the third year in a row, this is the price I should pay for my arrogance. :biggrin:

BTW, are you studying in the Bartlett?

I'm glad you understood!
No, I've applied to the Bartlett and went to the interview on Monday, now I'm waiting for the answer. :smile:
