PurpleFistMixer

My friend had a pink art exam sheet today. For the poster it was "refuse reuse" or something, and one of the others was "you're a star". Then the embroidery were two excerpts, one from a water poem and one from Hamlet. It's for a cushion or the back of a modern dance leotard thing.

I don't do art, so I'm not sure if that's a help, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

my craft is puppetry and the themes were:
* A street entertainer
* TV personality
* The biker

The batik themes were:
* The old fisherman
* Balloons and Popcorn
* Lifestyle choices

I dunno if that helps!! What craft is every1 else doing??

KeyLimePie

Personally I'm doing either the poster or the lino cut

Lordvaluemart

If it helps the themes for almost all the other sections are just as bad!

shazpunk

The puppet ones are great!!!

Wish I was doing one now

Thoes batik are REALLY bad!

I know it's a long shot, but any chance someone could type out or scan the calligraphy extracts?

i-cheat

fao anyone doing the poster what ideas have you come up with ???????

Lordvaluemart

The calligraphy extracts are
A)
Storm music
Let it start slowly
The tentative dripping of rain on your roof
beats a tense rhythm
Becoming bolder with every second
Let it rush onwards in frenzied drumbeats
The rain rising to a deafening crescendo
Then bring the thunder
Let it boom with alto confidence
Its bass rumbling to ratter your cage
To gnaw the bonds that lock you in
Let the storm pounce in startling chords
As the skies shower you with sharps and flats
Then,between crochets, bring in the static crack of lighting
The conductor's gestures cue your scream
And calms the wild tempo to a faint rumble
As the assault subsides to distant bar lines.


The gnats are dancing in the sun
In vibrant needles of light they run
On the air, and hover in noiseless sound,
Ecstasy ballet, round and around,
Soon, for human body found.

The pin-thin slivers, wingy, white,
Whirl in restless, passionate flight
Zooming atoms circling twisting,
Darting, Jiving.
Target diving.
In orbit on orbit of dazzle-gold light,
The gnats are limbering up to bite.

You're actually getting 10 days
My imaginitive is on next tuesday and we only got the sheets today giving me 7 days
And my craft work isnt till next week friday and we're not getting the sheets till friday!

And frankly time doesn't really matter anyways cause it's not like divine inspiration is gonna hit you a day before

My exam is next tuesday also, as I said in the second post of the thread. : p
My imag. comp./life drawing isn't until Thursday and we're not getting the paper until Thursday either...

I think time does matter, particularly if you're doing something wherein you can bring in stuff you've already made beforehand (ie puppetry). Generally speaking, the longer you have, the better your idea is going to be, and the better your execution because you will have had more time to think it over and consider other, potentially better ideas.

But sure I'm not counting art for points, I just see this as somewhat unfair, if it is indeed true that one competes with their fellow students for grades.

The official date for the craftwork sheets is the 29th
and the official date for the exam is the 8th!
That's 10 days not a week!

PurpleFistMixer

So why have some people not yet received their papers?

cause art teachers don't have the sense that I have

shazpunk

Its up to your teachers when they do the exam, they have a two week window, if they were smart anough to put their date later then you would be able to do what the rest of us are doing and getting hold of early papers

Most people don't have their papers yet, because most people aren't doing their exam untill the 12th and 13th



Does anyone have the Still Life paper?

And just making sure, that is the craft paper not the design paper that has been posted yeah?

official date for the starting of the exams is the 6th and the ending is the 16th, and the papers are to be handed out 7 days before the exam, most teachers are getting around the 7 day rule by giving out the papers this Friday before the bank holiday weekend.

Lordvaluemart

The 15 min life drawing is
The model in a standing position with his/her
-The weight resting on right leg
-Left foot slightly forward
-Right hand holding the small carrier bag by handles
-Left arm positioned across the waist
-A small towel or scarf draped over the left arm with the left hand visable
-Head facing left

The 30 min is
The model seated upright on a chair with his/her
-Right leg over left, with foot resting on the floor
-Left arm resting across the waistline, hand cupping right elbow
-Chin cupped in right hand
-Head tilted to the right

And, personally, all the themes I have posted are from the craftwork paper

shazpunk

What about the Still life/ imaginative composition?

I did IC for the mock and once twice before that but i did loads of still life for my portfolio earlier in the year. Think i might just to IC cause i can just do basically exactly what i did for the mock!

The bookcraft on the higher level craftwork paper is

Design and make a box file, or a document wallet or a folder to hold cuttings on one of the following topics
a) Special Occasions
b) Favorite Foods
c) Interior Decoration

Your finished craft piece should be made from appropriate materials and should function. Its shape should reflect the topic. Mazimum size; 40 cms at the greatest dimension.

Thanks a million!!x

wow the poster titles suck.... :eek:

Car Rally Stage? Inspiring.

KeyLimePie

Here's my pretty much final idea for my imaginitive composition based on
"like a lost child in a crowd of strange legs"
Any people got opinions or such?

The poster titles are BRILLIANT!!! are you kidding me?
You just need to be imaginative, and brain storm!!!

jeeeze, do your teachers not teach you anything?

Well compared to last year they're pretty crap, "Holiday in Space" was pretty amazing

And to be honest the only people who draw cars in my school are all the boy racers

shazpunk

You don't need to draw a car! Its all about developing your idea. you know every other person in the country is going to draw a car for it, and that will get all boring for the examiner, you need to like do something different!!!

have you not brainstormed it yet? expanded it? related it?

there's also your a star which is really good, and reduce reuse has SOOOO many posibilities!!

KeyLimePie

They're all pretty cliché-ish though!!
And a car rally stage poster would be bad enough if it didn't have any cars in it:P

And i'm doing the Lino not the poster

lemonmiringue

omg can someone pleeze pleeeze help me!!! i'm after getting into a right state, i'm so stressed. i was all set to do a poster but i'm really not feeling those titles now so i've decided to do the bookcraft but on the paper it says that the shape should suit the title...what does this mean? oh and also how do you actually make the book? are you allowed to just cover a normal folder and decorate it. oh and also do you fill the inside with more illustrations? i would be so grateful if someone could explain

Hehe, I was thinking of working from that line...
*yoink!*

Nah I kid, stealing is bad mmk.

I'd say make the child smaller and the legs bigger to emphasise the lostness of it all, but that looks grand.

@lemonmiringue: Don't do book craft if you've never done it before, there's all sorts of guide lines you have to follow. I considered it at the start of the year but I felt it wasn't worth learning an entirely new discipline. You have to actually make the folder... it's like embroidery, if you're doing it they'll expect you to have experience in it and skill, so it'd be madness to take it up all of a sudden.

lemonmiringue

oh no! do you really think so? omg i'm panicking here so much! i am actually screwed. i think i'm going to fail no matter what i do

heya,
I'm not that sure on what your supposed to do for the bookcraft as my teacher has never seen one done.
But I'm making one from scratch, getting two pieces of card and puttting book cloth around it, then putting just blank pages in it.
I think its just mainly the technique you use.
But I dont now about the Title, am I supposed to write on it or what?

I really not sure what your supposed to do actually.


ANYONE HERE EVER DONE THE BOOKCRAFT???
Please help.........................

thanks for the comments ;p mine is tuesday OH GOD!! I spent all day in the art room doing it (but was forced out for graduation photos and my french teacher almost DRAGGED me out for her class) and the same thing is gonna happen on wedns and thurs!!!

What's the sitatuation with everyone else?

And to the people who are planning on doing bookcraft without ever having done it before....WHAT THE HELL ARE YE THINKING?!
Can't ye do the lino instead? It's ten times easier!!

boobookitty

I was thinking of doing:

Puppet, Street Entertainer:

1. A guy with parachute pants, colourful clothes balancing plates on poles in his hands (reds, green, yellows)
2. A gypsy type woman/fortune teller with tarot cards in one hand. (purples, greens, flowing skirts, shawl etc)
3. A puppeteer with a marionette doll. I think it'd be pretty cool.

No idea of the still life yet
Life drawing is going to suck for the model, 30 mins in that pose is going to be sore!

PurpleFistMixer

As regards book craft, my art teacher gave me some handouts on it at the start of the year, for the folder it looked like you had to have something like this:
Little window opening on one side for putting in a title "card" or something,
Fan-type extending sides, if you know what I mean, a little like a "bellows", I guess.
I can't remember too accurately and I dunno where those pages are. I really would advise against doing it if you don't know what's involved, unless you literally cannot do anything else.


I'm doing my craft paper on Tuesday, doing calligraphy on the second poem... was gonna do the first as I play music and all, but storms are difficult to depict, so I went for a slightly simpler idea. Mostly text anyway, kind of making my own font up... Spent all of today in Cork/on a bus so no art done and I'm away for the weekend, so Monday is just gonna be Art Cramming Day... Ah I'm a sensible one.

did yu ever think of doing the design paper instead? I'm not really sure what the difference is but i know you don't get5 as long to do it but anyway, the topics are:
1) A poster for a vampire convention
2) A logo for a vietnamese café
3) a book cover for...i forgot actually, but it's something to do with gardens

Anyway ask your teacher about it, ours said we could do it if we really didn't like the topics for ours.
