Yeah i'm quite interested to see your abstract butterflies! :P i'm guessing you did the passage about the little boy who goes to that weird scarf shop? I was thinking about that too! Not sure what I'll do though, maybe something including the pond?

I've my craft exam on tuesday, really nervous

ImFudged

Had my calligraphy exam and it went really well except my pen started to malfunction at the end, the preliminary sheet was really easy. I have my still life and figure on Tuesday thinking of doing vegetables or fruit, and i hate hands OMG the worst

Whatsisname

I've my craftwork on Tuesday, I think the themes for Honours are total bollocks, they're all waaaay too similiar. The pass ones were great, all very different. I still don't even know what exactly I'm doing, I know I'm doing ''Global Tourism Exposition'' but ideas just seem to avoid me completely.

Hey, we're doing our craft exam on Thursday, i chose puppetry ('mutton dressed as lamb').

Was wondering what were the requirements for what has to be on the preparatory sheet??

Thanks for any help!

For the still life would it be ok if I based me items off the words "flea market" in passage A? I would draw a porcelain doll and maybe some old books and a few other items that might be found in a flea market. Forgot to ask my teacher today if that would be ok!

I had my craft today.

Didn't go so well. Spent 1 full hour on the preliminary and almost ran out of time for the actual piece. Most the page is white. ):

Really?
My art teacher said we should try to keep the still life all pencil, unless its a painting. Not sure now, I have lots of coloured glass bottles in mine.

yea like i dont mean t be full of myself but i was act so proud of it and all, even the teacher was shocked ! onlly got 56!! i think it mainly depends on the text..lbut even if you use colour your showing the examiner you know how to blend and the use of colours and all;)

I did mine today and we quoted the lines where we picked out our objects from, and then just say something like 'I picked out these objects because they fitted the theme/passage' etc. I don't think it matters a lot, our teacher said the examiner barely reads it. I think it's just incase you did something that didn't look like it was from the paper.

Did my Still Life (a cabbage, three leeks, a red onion and a red pepper, for Passage D in Higher Level) in soft pastel, came out really nice and had time to spare to refine it. :P

Still Life is much much better in full colour.

I want to see pictures of all your work

Just wondering for imag. comp, does it need to "represent" the text or be a picture describing the text, or can you just take out a word and just draw something on that? Like the word magic in passage C, and drawing, I dunno, a unicorn :PAC:

(Not doing a unicorn btw :P)

Nobody will be posting any photos of exam work during the period of the exams, thanks.
As has been said before, the SEC watch these threads.
Please don't be stupid.
