AS Art exam sketchbook - A* (Full marks)

  • 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.
    I really hope you enjoy this video and it gives you some ideas. The art exam sketchbooks have the same structure as coursework, it just has to be completed in a much shorter time frame!
    Song - Chocolate - Lilly Ahlberg cover (originally by the 1975)

    Whenever I watch these kind of videos I try tell myself i could do (better than) that, but with yours I kinda gave up within the first thirty seconds.

    Totally different from here in the USA... Ours is a portfolio form with loose drawing papers and few paintings. We start on it in any four years in high school to prepare for sending it to art schools of our choice. Plus some schools don't have any good art teachers just someone who hardly knows art. UK seems to have better luck with schools including Japan... I'll try out this gcse art format as a personal project, might help me in a way.

      Art is very subjective. I'm sure yours is amazing in its own way too.

    • @alejandromolinac
      @alejandromolinac 7 років тому +2

      Art is subjective is a Modern Art cop out for mediocre stuff...

    • @deadinside9828
      @deadinside9828 7 років тому +2

      Art has always been subjective. What you find to be beautiful, I might find to be horrid. I'm sorry that you don't appreciate modern art-- I really don't find it to be pleasant either-- but, just because you deem something as a "cop out," that doesn't at all mean that it really is. Not everything needs an edgy comeback.

    • @alejandromolinac
      @alejandromolinac 7 років тому

      Sure.... Is not like I don't do this for a living...

    • @deadinside9828

    I tried to use the four elements as my theme for my AS sketchbook, but my teacher is very critical and told me this idea was 'too simplistic' and gave me 'colour psychology' instead, clearly it isn't too simplistic given the fact that you've explored the theme really well and produced some amazing work!!

  • @fraserrobertson2489
    @fraserrobertson2489 10 років тому +1

    Genuinely gobsmacked at your work, it's so different seeing the other systems and how they do higher levels of art, I'm doing advanced higher art this year,( scottish qualification, above higher - which is the equivalent to A levels? I think?) but you have so much more connections to other art sista and work focussed on them- we just paint and design shit that matches our "theme" funny thing is I started out wanting to do "the elements" too... Now I'm just lost with my theme haha

    It seems you really have a talent for Art, I hope you got the grade you definitely deserved. I'm about a third of the way through my Higher - Scottish equivalent of A levels - Art & Design course and what I've been producing doesn't even measure up to half of your artwork. Did you have really good teacher who helped you with the structure and development of your booklet or were you left alone to do this on your own time? I have my own booklet that I need to complete to pass a module and I'm at my wits end with it.
