Select one of the passages A,B,C,D or E and carefully read the DESCRIPTIVE passage. The imagery that you select must convey the overall essence of the passage - they are descriptive passages and as such the imagery should reflect the passage. Choosing just one word or one object and constructing a still life or imaginative piece which bares little connection to the passage will not suffice. However, including additional objects (imagery)as part of the imaginative process is perfectly acceptable.

www.studentartguide.com/articles/top-10-mistakes-by-art-students Here is some of the info from the above article Thinking Art will be an entertaining, ‘filler’ subject Many students select Art thinking that it will be a fun subject where you hurl a bit of paint around and scribble with brightly coloured crayons. Students who enter under this misconception suffer a very quick wake-up call. Art can indeed be fun, but it is also an unimaginable amount of work. It requires constant and ongoing effort. Many students spend more time on their Art homework than they do on all of their other subjects put together. Art should be taken for one reason only: because playing with line and tone and shape and form and texture and colour fills you with joy. If you don’t love making art, your subject selection will torment you. Art will become your demon: the subject you resent with a passion, instead of enjoy. Taking too long to begin Some students are struck with a fear that they don’t have an original starting point or that they haven’t interpreted their exam topic in quite the right way. They spend weeks fretting over their topic selection and worrying whether it is good enough. Here’s the truth: it’s not the idea that matters – it’s what you do with it. Even the lamest beginnings can become draw-droppingly amazing if they are developed in the right way, with reference to the right artist models (visit our Pinterest Boards for artist ideas). Delaying your project in the hope of stumbling upon a ‘perfect’ topic rarely works: instead it results in panicked, last-minute submissions that are a pale shadow of what they could have been, had the full allotment of time been used. Great high school Art portfolios (in almost all cases) need time. Do yourself a favour and begin. My advice is to not be too hard on yourself! If you're having an 'I can't draw day' take a break and when you come back to your work, draw something that you find simple and easy. It will increase your confidence and remind you of your ability. Confidence is key.

Mind map – How to start it On a separate sheet from your sketchbook Write down all subjects, themes, places, things, activities or issues that are personally relevant to your theme and that matter to you (even random, unexpected things, such as a the art room sink, or heirloom knives and forks in your kitchen drawer). The purpose of any artwork is to communicate a message: to comment or scream or sing about the world in which we find ourselves. If there is no emotion behind the work, there is no driving force – nothing to direct and shape your decision-making. Write down the things that you care about; that move you.

The new leaving cert will have similarities to the current A-levels in the treatment of experimentation with materials, development of themes and research. 'Hi everyone! I completed my AS (first year A-level in the UK) art exam earlier this week and I wanted to share with you my sketchbook leading up the final 8 hour art exam, in which you draw your final piece on a larger scale. You are given 8 weeks to create this sketchbook. This years theme was 'Earth, Air, Fire and Water: The Four Elements' and I chose to solely focus on water. I researched 4 artists overall before refining my ideas further.'
The initial mind map and observational studies are very similar to the new sketchbook layout. The secondary studies, while stunning, would not be acceptable in the new leaving cert sketchbook as they are too similar to the original artists' work. If you were absent you can collect the Pre exam from me in the art room on Friday. I will be staying late in school Monday for 1 hour for any Jcert students that require time to discuss your work HW:
Themes for Component B
Step 1: Brainstorm Ideas
I have asked you to bring in primary objects relating to your chosen theme and photographs. These are needed as the starting point for your project. You can work from your imagination too but we can no longer utilise secondary sources imagery as our main inspiration. Sample project from the A levels: Gluttony Nikau began her A2 Painting Coursework by selecting the topic of junk food, focusing in particular on the excessive consumption of junk food by young people and the health risks that are linked to the consumption of additive-laden, calorie-rich products. Nikau’s initial sketchbook pages (visible in the video at the bottom of this post) are filled with notes and drawings exploring this theme. These include mixed media drawings of junk food items and children as well as an analysis of the visual potential of her theme. Here, Nikau clarified her ideas and established the ‘starting point’ of her project. .We are currently working on the sketches for your Preparatory Sheet for 3d. Use a variety of materials to make the pages visually interesting. Use primary objects to draw from and then manipulate these to work with your theme.
e.g. Absurd and Ridiculous you could bring in a childhood teddy and make a design where the teddy is controlling a human figure like a puppet DETAIL IS KEY! Summer Art Courses at CIT CCADPublished on: Tuesday, 05 July 2016

Print out your favourite artwork created by the artist Picasso Antony Gormley Claus Oldenburg Nick Mackman Debra Fritts Kate MacDowell Sam Jinks Chris Ryniak Yoshitomo Nara Ron Mueck Bruno Catalano Sample appreciation piece: The artist who inspired my design and connected to my chosen theme is Alberto Giacometti. Alberto Giacometti was born in 1901 in the mountain hamlet of Borgonovo, in eastern Switzerland. His work was greatly informed by the World Wars during his life. He created elongated human figures alone in the world and failing to communicate with their fellow man. The figures are roughly finished and worn. His work connects to my theme of exploration because he explores people’s feelings of the time. He makes them thin and beaten to show their sorrow. I original chose this theme as I wanted to explore human emotions but I have now decided to focus on how exploration broadens our minds and makes us to edit. 1st Year 3 D project

With several paintings that have inspired young artists during that era, he revealed how innovation is not always welcomed by the society, but it is one's gateway to the future. Discover the man who have lived through numerous criticisms to bring himself at the pinnacle of is success. Personal BackgroundBorn on January 23, 1832, in the bustling city of Paris, Édouard Manet was blessed to be a part of a well-off family. His parents were both highly recognized in their hometown, as his father was a reputable judge while his mother was of royal ancestry. Early in his life, Manet knew that his ultimate desire was to become an artist, and he found support from his uncle to pursue this field. Along with his uncle, the two visited the Louvre where he found greater inspiration to improve on his artistic skills. In 1845, he decided to sign up for a drawing course, as he was encouraged by his uncle. It was during that time when he met a fellow art enthusiast, Antonin Proust, who soon became one of his dearest friends. Although Manet developed a passion for the arts, his father had other plans for his future. In fact, he was forced to sail to Rio de Janeiro, so he could gain a membership to the Navy. However, he failed the examinations, much to his father's disappointment. Yet, his failure also paved the way for his father to rethink his aspirations for the young Manet, and he soon gave in to his son's ambition to become an artist. Hence, Manet was given that special opportunity to take up art education under the supervision of Thomas Couture. To further broaden his knowledge and artistic skills, Manet travelled to several parts of the world including Italy, the Netherlands and Germany. His adventures during his trips have impacted his concept of various art forms and styles. In addition, he found inspiration from several artists including Caravaggio, Francisco Goya, Titian, and Diego Velazquez. Initial AccomplishmentsWith ample experience and confidence in himself, Manet decided to open his very first art studio. His early works were inspired by Gustave Courbet, who was a realist artist. Most of Manet's artworks during the mid 1850s depicted contemporary themes and everyday life situations including bullfights, people in pavement cafes, singers, and Gypsies. His brush strokes were also rather loose, and the details were quite simplified and lacked much transitional tones. However, he progressed from these themes and created artworks that were more of historical and religious in nature. For instance, he painted various images of the suffering Christ, and two of these were displayed in two prestigious art museums in the United States. Two of his other canvases also hang at the Salon, which was a major accomplishment among artists during this period. One of his paintings that was featured at the Salon was an image of his parents, although this received little praises from art critics His other work called The Spanish Singer gained better recognition from artists and art enthusiasts who frequented the Salon. Thus, this painting was given a more distinct place in the Salon, so it could be seen by more people. According to critics, Manet's paintings had strange and less precise appearance, when compared side by side with other paintings featured at the Salon. However, it was his unique style that caused intrigue, excitement and fascination among young artists who began to see his artworks in a whole new light. Challenges and CriticismsIn Paris, one prestigious way for artists to introduce themselves to the public is by having their artworks displayed at the Salons. This was not an easy task, though, since Salon juries were so strict and meticulous in screening submitted artworks that were to be exhibited. Fortunately, Manet gained the approval of juries when he submitted The Spanish Singer, his painting that earned him an honorable mention from the Salon. However, Manet came across numerous critics during the 1860s. When the Salon des Refuses was formed, he decided to display his paintings that shocked several people. Primarily, it was the artist's odd choice of subjects that bewildered critics such as the appearance of nude or barely-dressed women in his paintings. They were not impressed by Manet's style, despite his originality and uniqueness. This has led to more attacks and negativity toward the artist's artworks. In 1864, Manet submitted more of his works to the Salon, yet these were all harshly criticized by fellow artists and intellectuals. His painting entitled Incident at a Bullfight was viewed by critics as a piece of artwork full of errors in terms of perspective while The Dead Christ and the Angels left others unimpressed due to lack of decorum. He was attacked for making Christ's body resemble a dead coal miner's body instead of someone ethereal and spiritual, which was what the actual Christ was like. The lack of spirituality and realistic tones in the painting failed to meet the approval of most critics. The same comments were cast upon his other artworks, particularly those that depicted modern scenes. Olympia, one of his most controversial paintings, disappointed most art critics not only because of the theme but Manet's way of presenting the subject. The image of a nude woman in that painting did not seem acceptable or decent enough to the eyes and perception of these critics. While "Olympia" was the subject of caricatures in the popular press, it was championed by the French avant-garde community, and the painting's significance was appreciated by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and later Gauguin, and Van Gogh. Unique StylesManet's paintings were influenced by the Impressionist, yet he was uninterested in becoming involved with exhibitions during this era in art. He was more keen on displaying his works at the Salon, so he could avoid any notions that he was a representative of the impressionist style of painting. Although Manet was also fond of using lighter colors, his paintings often had a hint of black, which was not typical in most paintings during his time. Final Years of His LifeHis last work was called A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, which was displayed at the Salon, in 1882. Prior to that year, he received a special award from the French Government, which was the Légion d'honneur. It was one of the highest form of recognition that he has received throughout his life. |
