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!

Type in Grade 12 or Grade 12 theory for links to previous posts on grade 12 theory.

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
-materials & techniques (M/Ts)

Grade 9: Illusions of Space Infographic

Grade 9s
Your project is based on creating infographic ( a combination of written information and images) on the techniques artists use to create an illusion of space.  You can take your own photos and include diagrams and sketches.  You can present information as a A3 poster or digitally using google docs, emails, and prezis.



See the link to Mrs Moore's blog for more examples.

And even some inspiration from our matric class, I love how Anna Talbot has cut jagged lines around the boy's form. Her piece really captures a moment in time.
