Any ideas what's likely to come up?

I'm study Newgrange etc for the Irish section anyway. Seems to come up every second year.

Eh. I don't know really...anybody?

In european theres always some way to fit Dali and Picasso in. Also DaVinci looks like a god bet. As for Irish I would say metalwork.

One of the ninja turtles is always up. Newgrange is one of those near-constants, but go ahead and study brass jewelery and that too (its easier than Newgrange just get the sketches down)

European though I liked to ignore the rennaiscance and focus on Impressionism... cos I love it.

Yeah impressionism is deadly. I'm gonna concentrate on that for European, bit of Renaissance, (Michelangelo would be handy), little on more modern things like Surrealism and Expressionism/Post Impressionism.
Then for Irish I'm concentrating on Newgrange, and Georgian Architecture, I'll glance at High Crosses maybe, and learn JB Yeats/Louis le Brocquy/Ann Madden etc.

Hopefully that'll be enough! If nothing I know comes up, I'll ramble incoherently about whatever paintings come with the paper.

I am doing:

Irish:
Newgrange
Stone age, Iron age (La Tene culture and Bronze age)
Georgian Architecture

European:
Impressionism (love Degas and Renoir)
Post-Impression (Cezanne and Van Gogh)

Appreciation:
Exhibit/Gallery


Have there been any movies out lately that might be mentioned in Appreciation? I can only think of something like Transformers where light and graphics were important. Anything else?

eh thx?



Did anyone go to the lectures organised by the national art gallery? They gave out a sheet on the gallery question and i've lost it:(
if anyone cud scan it i'd be sooo grateful!!!

And my predictions are
Crosses + Newgrange
Romanesque and gothic stained class is due, but then again so are the architecture
And of course a gallery
Ensure you can name a exhibition, not gallery, an exhibition you went to and discuss it's layout and name discuss 2 paintings by the painter.

well to be honest they're relatively easy so i'd say give it a go

Woohoo! Newgrange, I like that. It makes me want to do that over La Tene and Georgian!

rachelmcg1989

was wondering.
are those less stress more success books any good?

cas im studyin high crosses right now, and in my less stress book it says the crosses at aheeny co tipperary have abstact design and no figurative or biblical decoration. but in my art book for school, it says the north cross has a funeral scene on the west face with a monk carrying cross, and the south cross has scenes such as adam and eve, daniel and the lion's den and some animal decoration....?

which book do i trust?

nisey89

newgrange and id say lern a film as well as a gallery just in case it doesn't come up because its bound to happen sometime because everyone is doing the exhibitiom

blue_belle

come on newgrange! i NEED this to come up. yeah it looks like a every second year pattern.

and im focusing on impressionism, botticelli and van eyck for european. but alot of the time you need to know another artist from that period for these questions. so i'd look mover the time lines and different periods.

and thenthe exhibition comes up everyyear, its a given.

2022rae

not to burst anyones bubble cuz i'm hoping for newgrange too but i think ye should note that newgrange has come up every two yrs except for 1998! this being 2008 they could try to play a nasty ten yr skip trick..i'm doubtful of it but just to be warned..;)

It's only ok in my opinion.
