Art GCSE

I thought I'd share with you some of the art work I have been doing for my GCSE. A few weeks ago I had my 10 hour exam in which we have to create a piece of artwork based on a topic we had been previously given. Prior to the exam we have 6 weeks to prepare, filling a whole sketchbook with ideas and work. My exam piece was about the journey through pregnancy. It may seem like a weird topic, but I wanted to do something very different to everyone else and it fitted perfectly with one of the original starting points. I used multiple media's within the piece. Here is a picture of my final exam piece. I hope you like it.
















We have also done many coursework units throughout the course, of which 2 will be entered as our final pieces. Below is an image of one of the pieces I am submitting, it is a banner style collage based on a summer book about my holiday to Yorkshire a few years ago.






So my art GCSE is done now, I have my 2 coursework units ready to submit and my exam has been and gone. However, I haven't yet mentioned that I took at additional art GCSE based on printmaking, I have taken my exam for that also, so am currently working on finishing off coursework which is due next week. Then my art will be over with!! :)
I haven't had chance to scrapbook much recently, but here is another of my past pages that I'm pleased with.

Hi Hannah,

I saw your post on UKS and thought I would check out your blog. Your LO's are lovely, I think I remember seeing your work in SI before. I really like your GCSE work I'm sure you will do really well.

BTW I'm Karen,(Karenwendy81 on UKS)xx

Hi Hannah - I'm in the Newbie Bloggers social group on UKS (gillsil). Both your GCSE coursework and your LO is really great - you have lots of talent. My eldest DD is in y12 and took her Art GCSE last summer so I know something about the amount of work involved. She is actually taking A-level Art now, so lots more work! ( and she does scrapbooking too, but has not had time/energy to do any this year)
Good luck with the rest of your GCSEs.
