OMG if this is true then I failed

relax guys if you fail art history you can still pass Im 100% positive about this. Was there no gallery question at all in the appreciation section? wtf??

Hatred

What are ye on about?

That was a really easy paper. I wrote 3 pages on each question. Hopefully an A with that paper.

There was an art gallery one but you had to compare it to a national gallery you visited. Now Im sorry but this is a f**king recession! I live on the west coast, ok I can visit my local gallery for free but am I expected to pay for a bloody bus and admission to a gallery in Dublin?! WTF?!

Oh and I made a complete hash of the Raphael question, waffled on about the Bronze Age and I compared the design of a girls skinpy dress and the French national soccer jersey.

All in all, I vomited blood when I seen that paper.:pac:

CantStandMeNow

Thought it was ok I dont do the gallery question, I did the Banksy one thought it was pretty cool !

Newgrange was the boland of art! Really happy I knew everything else though but not so nice for everyone else =(.

Also manged to get Monet in there as well for the landscape ones.

Thank **** for Banksy and all the other lovely graffiti artists out there, I salute them. Gallery question looked like a nightmare.

Awful paper:(
No proper Gallery question,No Newgrange and half a question on Bronze Age:mad:
I wrote a lovely 5 page essay on Romanesque!
An essay on Graffiti full of waffle, 3 pages with big sketches!
And Bullet points on Broighter Collar and Gold Torc!
Worst art history paper ever and I needed to do well because I'm repeating, FML

That was a disgusting paper. I just saw everyones face fall in the exam hall.
Our teacher only skimmed iron age and bronze age, it was left up to us whether we wanted to study it or not. So imagine the shock when Newgrange didnt come up. I got a page on it.The gallery question was cockeyed, so i did the banksy one, just rambling on cos i know some of his stuff, no structure to the answe really. The Question with francis bacon was fine, so hopefully thatll give me a bit of a mark.

im Pissed off cos I got a B1 in the mock and that was due to the art history cos my work was A1. Now Im expecting a B3 or a C.
It REALLY needs to be a separate subject. Art History is a way of giving those people who cant draw and picked art cos they thought its easy marks. So really your Art mark has no bearing on how good you are at it. If I wanted to do history, id do it. But I dont.....

Bansky for the win!

I nearly fell off my seat when I saw his name. We never studied him in class but I adore the man and have looked up loads about him in my spare time. Delighted seeing as the gallery question was a dose!

I couldn't think of any small scale gallery in Cork haha

I thought it was a mean paper though. No Newgrange was annoying. I had a feeling it wouldn't come up though seeing as the practical paper was pretty odd and with the predictions made in papers seeming to be slightly askew this year. I did have Bronze/Iron age stuff prepared roughly though so I managed to pull something out of the air for that.

Did the Romanesque question for European, I thought that one was ok.

All in all I was happy enough with how I managed it but it definitely wasn't nice.

MonTheBiffy

Ok the majority of Art students are Goths, Emos and Freaks therefore I have come to this conclusion: They are all gonna be really depreesed because of this paper and start self harming or worse. And its all the SEC's fault. The Basterds.

Lawliet

That was an alright paper, I had a essay on Roscommon arts centre learn so I only had to tag on a bit about the Hugh Lane gallery so that was handy. The Romanesque question was lovely. The Irish question was a let down though, managed to waffle a bit about the broighter collar and and bronze age designed but not a great question.

nijel

worst paper ever :mad: got 5 pages for book of kells, which was waay to specific a "the human form"!? plus 5 for romanesque that was ok. 3 for stupid non movie question on a flat pack .. what the hell. probly will get 0 on dat thought it ment fold away chair

That's bull****. The vast majority of art students are idiots who think it's a doss.

FredBaby!

The appreciation questions were amazing. If I had been able to write my whole paper on the lot of them it would have been great but alas, I couldnt. I mean, Banksy, fashion AND a gallery one!!!! But I can see how some people would have problems with the gallery one. Like how many of schools go to more than one gallery? My school didnt go to any but thankfully I went to loads on my own :cool:

European art-Basically I made a right balls out of that one. Did the Romanesque question but I dont think I had enough knowledge to give a detailed account of a church. It was Waffle City, population: me.

Where were you Newgrange? Not on my paper, you werent!!!! And just when I needed you most...

klose

pure panicked when i read it first, hadta read it a few times to decide what to do fully tho and then was ok

did q1 the pictures one, wrote good stuff on it all though i called it the tara broach instead of the broighter collar haha but the info i rote on it was correct so ill only lose 5 marks there, was banking on newgrange but sure i had a niggling feeling after the boland fiasco it mightnt come up

for european i did the q 15 on mannerism for michelangelo, i did da vinci in more detail and hoped hed come up but kinda half winged michaelangelo, again relevent info

gallery question was tricky for most but thank god we went to the museum in dublin and our local one we were lucky, people really should do these trips as its a guarenteed question, hopefully a high b as i winged some parts but lets hope..:rolleyes:

truth couldnt understand only 2 out of 20 stayed the full time:eek:

was a tough paper alright just lookin at it online, newgrange delib left out for 3rd year in a row which has never happened before so there'll be alot of complaints about this, although it looks poxy they still kept the usual predictions of either stone age, bronze age or ironage question in early irish n romanesque and gothic for European coming up. the gallery q is a bit ridiculous so they purposely put banksy on which a lot of ppl would recognize and answer without reading the wording properly, it requires quite a comprehensive answer, not impressed at all....

Mescaline

When i first seen no new grange or impressionism or product design i was ****ed. Turned out alright, found ways of doing what i knew.

Did William chambers the casino + hugh lane 3/4 pages

The landscape painting.. Was able to use impressionism monet. 2 pages

And the gallery one turned out sweet cause my mam runs a small scale gallery and i just compared it to imma. bit of waffle but hey.

I couldnt illustrate at all though.. illistrating is a bollux.. Anyone know what its worth ?

They're not worth that much, about 10 marks per question

Orlaladuck

It's worth 10 out of 50 marks on each question so 30 out of 150..20% of the entire art history, **** all overall

5 or 10 marks out of 50.

Usually only 10 though.

gero77

the illustrations are always worth 10 marks unless you answer a question where the image is accompanied on the source sheet you receive in the exam in this case they are worth 5 marks.
