PAPER 3- Original Imaginative Composition in Colour: A paper containing a list of alternative subjects
will be given to candidates one week before the examination. The actual composition will be executed in
the examination room after a period of not less than 7 days from the distribution of the paper to the

original work, it would be inappropriate for any form of guidance to be given to candidates other than
that printed on the question paper. A variety of themes will be set; these may be given in the form of
titles indicating the subject or of specified subjects for inclusion in composition, or in any other form that
will stimulate the imagination. Candidates should base their work, if possible, on scenes which they have
themselves observed. Any style or technique including that which is traditional in the candidate’s own
area may be used.
