IP EXAM

Zacheel was walking down the High Street when he saw a basket of fruit in the window of the local greengrocers. He thought it was beautiful and decided to photograph it. He emailed a copy of the photo to his friend Yasmin, a professional artist. Yasmin thought the image of the basket of fruit would make the perfect subject matter for a still life painting. Yasmin decided to ask her sister, Xanthia, an art student, to work on the project so she could practise her painting skills. Yasmin watched Xanthia make the painting, and continuously advised her on her painting technique. The finished painting was an exact replica of the photograph taken by Zacheel. Yasmin decided to upload a copy of the painting to her website where it was noticed by Wesley, a designer of greetings cards. Wesley downloaded the image and now sells birthday cards displaying the painting.
