    Hi,

    As you probably know, Art papers are meant to be distributed on April the 16th to candidates. Our teacher is claiming they won't get them until the 22nd or 23rd.
    However, it distinctly says in Key Dates 2013 that LC art papers will be distributed to candidates:

    http://www.examinations.ie/exam/2013_Key_Dates.pdf

    Now, I can't understand why this is the case.
    I obviously want as much time as possible to prepare for this exam like everybody else and I will not be letting a teacher dictate when we get the papers if it's inconvenient for them to distribute them a certain day.

    That's not fair if it is the case.

    Can anyone shed light on this?

    Thanks very much.

    Yep we're getting ours next Tuesday. You should take it up with your teacher and if they say the same, go to the principal. It's only fair you have enough time to prepare!

    Our teacher is the same! She made us waste time on some stupid poster and wants us to finish it before giving us our papers, talk about a waste of time!

    They will be up on the SEC website once they are sent to the schools.
    They could always make their way here once the official date of release has passed.

    No our teacher is somewhat a casual one. We have one class a week. So, unlikely they'd go out of their way to aid us.

    Can anyone tell me what's on the prep sheet and preliminary sheet for screenprinting? also, do you have to draw and cut out the stencils in the exam?

    I'll be having nightmares about the life drawing poses. I modelled last year and the poses were HORRIBLE. our teacher says she has a good feeling this year, let's be hopeful anyway :/

    Last years were horrible, my pre was horrible so surely that means the life drawing will be a nice one for us?! :P

    The life drawing pose is not bad this year. The only tricky part is a hand holding an apple in front of the head. It mentions "ready to take a bite", i wonder does that mean the mouth should be open?

    I have made a handout for my students....

    Standing pose is alright. Mouth open is really throwing us. I assume the mouth has to be open. It depends on the view, front view the mouth seems to be completely covered by the apple.
    I'm doing 3/4 view as always and I'm not sure what to make of it. :-(
    I'm happy with the imaginative and craft though.
    Ps thanks for the images I'll show them to my teacher tomorrow :)

    Yeah I'm happy with the other papers. I have a planned imaginative piece done already :)
    Dreading this apple thing before.
    1. Drawing hands is my weakness
    2. I just mastered drawing a closed mouth. An open mouth is the SEC mocking me!

    I didn't think many people did the poster, nobody in my school does! But from what I saw I was thinking it was bad :/

    Just wondering does the mouth have to be open for the Life Drawing? My teacher maintains it can be closed and still "ready to bite"!

    I assumed by "ready to bite" they mean literally about to bite into it so, open I guess? Open to interpretation although I wonder if they could /could not dock marks for having the mouth closed? You never know with those art examiners ;)
