Oh okay I think I just got lucky with a great teacher. Never mind :P

We barely covered any of the actual written exam side of the course, but I guess we can just wing it to some extent?
I failed my mock, but I think I did a million times better with my drawing this time, so I think that should bring my mark up a good bit. It's painful not knowing how things are marked :S
Revise wise should cover me, yeah?

I'm doing higher level and have had to teach myself what i know in the past 2 weeks -_-
Hopefully the things i have studied will come up....

Don't waste time learning everything.. for Irish section I'm only doing stone age, bronze age, iron age and newgrange. For European I'm just sticking with impressionism. Look through the papers and see what group of artists/movements always comes up and pick the one you're most interested in! Impressionism interests me so I find it easy to study Good luck!

I'm in the same boat as you!! For the last two weeks of school, there was only myself and my friend in art hist. class
Got the A1 in the mocks and A2 (or maybe A1) in the pre-mocks so hoping that the paper goes my way tomorrow as think my craft went well and was happy with my still life, though not sure about the life drawing short pose.

What topics are supposed to be coming up??

As the course is so broad, it's hard to say without knowing what you've studied.
But in general, you'll get a stone/bronze/iron age Q in Irish hist (along with like 6/7 other Qs). For European hist - normally Gothic/Romanesque, a movement (eg Cubism, Impressionism), Renaissance, as well as another half a dozen different Qs/topic. Art Appreciation often will have things like public sculpture, a gallery visit, film studies etc.

Your best bet is flicking through some past papers and finding the topics you know that come up most regularly.

Yeah same it was the only paper I got an A in for the mocks my teacher though it's like...she loves art so much and she's genuinely fascinated by it and it makes it so easy for us to learn it idk :P hoping for the best with craft, definitely went better than the mocks

3 coloured lino! My teacher said she thinks it should stand out as everyone else did b+w :P I did imaginative instead of still life also, and on the day was possibly the first time I got the still life proportion right and you?

I also did 3 colour lino print :P but was the only one in my year to do any sort of a print. I chose "the harbour" but went for a darker approach rather than the pretty bobbing boats.
Did chalks for my still life, based it on the passage about Antarctica, focusing on the old elements.
I'd never be brave enough to try imaginative

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PREDICTIONS FOR RENAISSANCE? There is usually 2 questions and I'm just studying that for EU art, any please help me narrow if down, Leonardo came up as well as Massacio last year the year before was Donatello an Michelangello and in 2010 it was Piero della Francesca and Raphael HELP ME!

Jade.

Really not looking forward to this paper! :O

YoKell

anyone think any of these artists will come up for european? .. Bottichelli Carrvagio Valesquez Raphael?

Eelly

I'm stressing out.. I'm studying Realism, Impressionism, Post-impressionism and Cubism for European Section.. What do yous think? Is that enough?

Jade.

Right A heads how do I actually study for this? And what should I know? :P

Dzeejkop

i will fail ;D
i dont know why i choosed art i cant even draw a straight line ;|

any predictions for tomorrow so I can wake up at 6.00 and learn it?

Legendredhead

I got an A2 in the mocks, with no study because i was working on my portfolio at the time(Got into NCAD and LSAD woohoo). I'm hoping i can bring that up to an A1 now with a bit of cramming. Practical went grand. Still life and a sexy one colour lino of a dark face behind a ships stern, was happy with life drawing too.

I'm about to look over
Pre Christian (Iron age and Newgrange, Bronze came up last year)
I'll probably skip christian.
Georgian Architecture. (The townhouse is a handy question if you get it)
Refresh romanesque and gothic architecture in my head.

High Rennaissance (Raphael, Michaelangelo)
Small bit of immpressionism. I like Degas.
Good bit of post impressionists. (Van gogh, Cezanne,)
Picasso, Dali.

The design question is handy enough, as is the description of a painting.

Overall there's plenty to go over but whittle it down to what you at least kind of like!

Moromaster

I've NEVER studied Art History, never did classes; I'm an external student. I heard that you can learn three essays and they will come up, for sure.

What do I learn before tomorrow? Tips, tricks? Prayers would be kind. I have 6.5 hours of study allocated for it. :cool:

Moromaster

Additionally, I know Manuscripts, New Grange and Neo-Classical Palladiosm. Will these come up? How much time per essay? Exam techniques?

Thinking about studying Iron age and Newgrange for section 1 and maybe a little bit of Bronze age to cover myself if I have time.
For section 2 I was thinking Degas, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh and Cezanne.
Section three will be fine for me. I usually do the gallery question.

Do you think I will have enough covered here for tomorrow then?

ladymacbeth

Which impressionist painters are most likely?
And which of the 3 prechriastian topics?

peekachoo

together as a question but alone, for eg the broighter collar and metalworks could be asked for iron age, as last year they were asked to discuss stone carving during the iron age.
Also bronze age and high crosses came up last year, all very common topics so they could easily be repeated!
