Grade 12 Revision

Dear Grade 12s I am also writing an exam on Thursday, so I have study leave for Wednesday.  Therefore you must see me on Monday or Tuesday if you would like help for theory.  Tuesday is the grade 10 practical exam so I won't have any classes but as you know the first hour of the day and last hour is always very busy so don't come then. Preferably  come between 10 and 12.

You can also email for help or visit the government site for past papers.

Good luck!

When Analysing Unseens look for interesting points based on the following sections:

- Data (D) - name of the artist, title of the work, size & year -this may give you a link to the meaning of the piece/a concept the artist wants you to consider, scale could influence how it makes you feel as the viewer

- use of formal elements & principles of art (E/P) and their link with the theme
- Artists intention (INT) & Influences (INF)
- links with theme & questions (focus) - NB please read any bullets/ sub questions as it will contain important clues as to how you should focus your essay
