History and Appreciation of Art (HL) - The Aftermath

Reilly616

So, how did you find it?

Personally I thought it was great. I got exactly what I was hoping for. I did Crosses and Pieta.

I thought Q1 in the Irish was a bit unfair. You had to discuss the impacts the Iron Age had on Early Christian. They are 2 completely different sections of the course, they are not allowed do that. Besides that, I suppose I did fairly well on that Q, talking about the Turoe Stone and Petrie Crown.

Didn't have a clue what to do in European, so I did the one about Renoir (my Romanesque essay didn't come up ). The only painting I could remember was The Umbrellas, but I just wrote 2 pages of crap. The diagram I did was AWFUL.

For the Appriciation I did the one about packaging. I waffled on for a bit over 4 pages.

Absolutely terrible. Our teacher didn't cover half of the topics. I'm soo upset
but I did my best I guess

copy n paste from other thread

thank **** la tene came up, only thing I knew. I did the broighter collar and the petrie crown, I didn't really know how it influenced other stuff though so I only wrote a few lines for that, I only knew impressionism and post impressionism for the european section. but I didn't learn renoir so I could only do half that question, anyone know if they're split half and half or what? and the sure the gallery question was grand. I did ok, maybe even better than I expected I would, but still crap :pac:

but yeah I get what you mean about the iron age Q being a bit unfair, I was just happy it came up and I could talk about the objects cos it was the only thing I knew. I said similar designs could be seen in the book of kells and on the tara broche, that was about it

phic

yeah the la tene question was really annoying! I just said they were curvlinear, like the designs on manuscripts, crosses etc. Ah well.
Did the question on the Pieta, went grand but does anyone know what they meant by space?

Aced it!

Everything that I studied came up!

Irish Section:
Could have done Rosborough house. But i decided to do the question on the ardagh chalice and the tara brooch. My sketches were pretty detailed also. Easy!:D

European:
Did the Renoir question and got it all out really well. Only had time for one sketch but it came out really well for me!:D

Appreciation:
This was probably my weakest question. I had to bend my answer a bit in order to make it work for my prepared answer on the Louvre. ;)I talked about the Venus de Milo and the Goddess Winged Victory of Samothrace.:D


Overall I should be on for my A1 in Art. Sweet!

Got on reasonably well - hopefully well enough to make me pass the subject overall.

Irish Section: Did the Iron Age question (Petrie Crown and Turoe Stone, might have got them mixed up a bit though).

European Section: Question 14 - a painting about war (Dali's Soft Construction with Baked Beans, although I stupidly referred to it as Soft Destruction of Baked Beans... Would I lose a lot of marks for that?). Had plenty of time at the end so I did the Pieta question too.

Art Appreciation: The sculpture question. Made up the public sculpture that you had to talk about in your own area, mine's was one of Alan Patridge playing air guitar.

Last exam, have a horrible little feeling that I didn't do well enough in history and business to get enough points for my first cao choice. Anyone else just feel incredibly tired after all that?

Have you actually been to the Louvre? I found it odd that there isn't a bigger deal about de Milo there. You're just walking along and then OH that one doesn't have arms.....waaaait a second!

Anywho. Glad it went well for you.

I wrote about 4 pages on each question and did about 4 sketches for each too.

Probably 5 marks going by previous marking schemes, but possibly less. Definately not more.

I did 2 sketches for the first, none for the second and 2 for the last

-ME-

Easy enough paper but i wasn't prepared enough cos I spent way too much time on bloody History. I think I did really badly, the European section did not go my way. I did:

Irish Section: Ardagh Chalice/ Tara Brooch. That was grand, but for my sketch I just drew the Tara Brooch again and labelled it, i didn't know any of the details or anything.

European Section: Nothing I studied properly came up. I got through the Giotto question but I didn't do a sketch cos the only one I knew was "Deposition" and that was already on the sheet.

Appreciation Section: Thank gawd the gallery question came up! That was fine.

JohnnyQuid

went alright,i didn't expect gothic to come up,it's a good thing i went over giotto

The first irish question would have been perfect if they hadn't put the early christian bit in...so unfair.
did the turoe stone and broighter collar. and shoved in a bit about high crosses. Do they even have anything to do with La Tene??? We didn't do early christian n high crosses was the only thing i could even think of!!!

galery question was grand.

did botticelli question, not great, my sketchs were awful for that!!

When I saw the paper first I thought I was screwed, but then I kinda got into the swing of things with the Russborough house, I didnt really know much about it but I bluffed using words from other georgian architecture and the little bit of Castletown House that I did know, and compared it to Trinity College. European was ok I did Van Eycks self portrait, some people say it could be himself right? and I was stuck for a second one so I did a reli good sketch of Da Vinci and bullshat my way through him. Appreciation was grand I'm into filmmaking and all that jazz.

My ideal paper would have been:

Irish - Custom House/Trinity College/Casino at Marino or the likes

Europe - Renaissance Architecture, Brunelleschi & Alberti

Appreciation - A film or a storyboard or something, it was ok really

I just hope I won't loose my A over history... but technically I only need 10-20% if i get near to full marks on everything else?

george.

yeah my sketches for the botticelli were ridiculous... it looked like 5 year old did them, my venus looked like a man, even though she is naked...

i thought it was ok otherwise, i did the la tene question and now that im out of the exam i think if i hadn't been so rushed i could have bullsh*ted some more about how it influenced early christian...

predominanantly

It was grand.. I did the crosses, Renoir and the gallery. It was a nice way to end the leaving.

Did it not ask for 1 stone and 1 metal piece? Don't want to be a dick now, but I left my paper in the exam hall and that's sent my heart pounding..

It did indeed ask for one piece of metal work and one piece of stone work.

could someone please tell me if the high crosses are actually influenced by la tene??

Everything is influenced by everything. If you made some similarity between them you can justify that la tene influenced the high crosses. Me on the other hand, having never looked at the Christian Section didn't know any examples of Early Christian art. I completely bluffed it, but I doubt that part of the question would be worth more than 5, maybe 10 marks, and any attempt is a dent on that.

Wooh.

I think it's about 1.4%

That's the thing about art; marked hard, but you do get more free time during the year to study your other subjects.

Ya i noticed that too....you just stroll in and it appears on your left...

xOxSinéadxOx

but there wasn't really any twist in the gallery question! a twist one have been how did your visit influence your own style of painting or you have to organise an art exhibition in your school how would you do it from what you leaned on your visit blah blah blah. there really wasn't a twist at all. nice and straight forward
