    Well that was a disaster..

    What happens if your design is only half finished? :o I had all my ideas sketched into the preliminary sheet, I just didn't get time to paint it fully in the real one.

    I thought the 15 min pose was worse than the 30 min one.

    These was probably the most stressful and exhausting few days of my entire life. I can confidently say that I would rather take a hundred HL maths exams than EVER have to go through the art practicals again.
    Everything went great though, except from life drawing. it was good but not great.
    At least now we only have the HISTORY to do...

    I'm doing 19th century art movements and Georgian Architecture. Not sure what to do for the gallery visit question though, I have visited all of the galleries in Dublin but not in a leaving cert-y way. My teacher had to be the idiot she is and take us to the Turner Prize which doesn't suffice. How about you?

    As unpredictable as LC predictions are, a revision course said apparently stonework for Ireland as in Newgrange carvings right through Iron Age stonework. Also Van Gogh, and Surrealists. However I'm a big nerd and I shall learn everything :D Dreading the Appreciation question

    SURREALISTS ARE PREDICTED??? :D
    im gonna be so upset if I can't answer on Dali in some way or another. I love him :D

    yeah I'm gonna do the newgrangey stuff anyway. Leaving out the book of kells and some of the lunulae kinda artefacts stuff cos they bore me sooo much.
    Currently teaching myself about Georgian romanesque and gothic architecture before though since we didn't cover them in school.

    The dream would be Yeats, LeBrocquy or Newgrange for irish, Dali for european and a manageable gallery q. Well, a girl can dream. :P

    Guys I decided to focus on the Renaissance for European. However I want to cover something from the Impressionists/anything from French painting in the 19th centrury in case the questions crazy and I have time now to study it. What would you recommend? Van gogh is predicted so will i try him?

    a good last minute artist to study is Kandinsky! He fits into that question in the European Section that comes up most years about discussing a work featuring women, water, horses etc. He painted nearly everything so he can fit into some question if anyone is stuck :)

    Degas is good for this question too - never studied Kandinsky though... I shall check it out...

    I am an Art teacher who is updating her teaching resources - basically I'm finally going digital! I am at present building a website of art history notes and trying to embed videos into the site. I have made a video on Manet's painting "le Déjeuner sur L'Herb - I discuss his use of light and of brushstrokes which is core to understanding any impressionist painting.
    Let me know if this video is of any help to you and I can send you links in the next couple of weeks to further resources. Best of luck in the Leaving Cert!
