how to REALLY ANNOTATE GCSE art to get a GRADE 9 (artist research - real tips and advice for you)

[@sashadrawsitlikeitis4700]

our art teacher hasn’t taught us anything about write ups 😂 she expects us to write an A* write up like 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@candysimss7192]

frrr mine hasn't either

[@paweldoruch1016]

Yeah, they always just leave the writing as like a side thing that you can get done by the way

[@suzysheep149]

Same!

[@corafrogcat4465]

Literally 😔😔

When youre doing art GCSES 2020 with no Final piece because of corona virus smh

[@raveclubs]

i love writing, my favourite bit in english is writing essays so hopefully when i start art i won’t be dreading annotating my work

[@wonderful5861]

This is the artist research format that the teachers give us: **Artist Introduction** Introduce the artist - what is their name? Where are they from? What type of Artwork do they create? What are the dates of the work? What is their Artwork about? Is there a meaning or purpose? **Explain** Explain why you have chosen this artist for your research - is it the style of art? The medium they use? The subject matter? What can you see in the images? How does the work make you feel and why? Why does this work relate to your project? **Formal Elements** Think about the formal elements that they use most in the work - Which elements stand out the most? How have they been used in the work? Be descriptive. **Analyse** Analyse their work - what do they focus their subject on? What are they trying to portray? What does the viewer think first? Is there a hidden message? How have they created the artwork? Why do you think they have done this? **Influences** What may have influenced the work? Subject matter? Objects? Artists? See if you can name other artists and explain why. **Quotation** - Find something interesting that the artist has said. **Opinions** What do you think of the work? Why? How will you use the work of this artist in your own work? What media will you use to replicate and inspire your own work?

[@Lily-fb4ov]

Thank you so much for listening to my request! I really appreciate that you have made this video, I’m starting my exam sketchbook when I go back to school in January and, although it’s my favourite subject and I love it so much, it can be difficult to think of what to write about my pieces! Thank you so much Maisie! xx

[@MaisieCromptonn]

Lily ahhh hope it helps you!! Ooo yes love starting a new sketchbook, it’s like a fresh start all over again!! Good luck gallll xxx

Art gcse gave me suicidal thoughts

[@jeeba1822]

Omg I just saw your video and your artist research pages are WAYY more detailed than mine. I’m in year 11 and my teacher hasn’t really taught us how to write artist research so I’ve been writing wafer thin paragraphs and now comparing yours to mine I’m panicking because we just started the external exam prep.

[@alishaaa8656]

my art teacher just told the class “make sure you waffle. the examiners love waffling, tell them why you used that colour, why you used the media, what you liked and what youd do better next time, as long as it makes sense just waffle” 👍

[@bedsitdiary4391]

So useful. My daughter in year 10 has a rubbish teacher, she doesn't tell them what they should be doing, hasn't taught them anything and last week said 70% didn't pass last year, shocking. So thank you for helping by doing this.

[@MaisieCromptonn]

Bedsit Diary that’s awful, our school was brilliant, nearly 100% pass rate

[@linnjukri]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I used to have quite a chill art teacher who expected good annotations and nothing too crazy. But then i suddenly got a new teacher and her annotation standards are A LOT higher so i stressed out a lot. This will definitely help with with them!

[@aconfusedperson]

I'm in year 9 and in my school we start our GCSE courses earlier so I started it this year. Because of the current situations I'm a bit anxious but this video was really helpful thanks! ❤️

[@charlotteex721]

you ma’am are the reason i got an A in art ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! This is great help for me since I will be starting my art after the summer holiday and once I will be back at school. I actually got a predicted score of 8 for art in year 7-8 but I'm still super nervous. I'm glad I found this video, I was so confused on how I would do it in general so this really helped ^-^

[@wen_drid]

My art teacher is always grilling us for not writing our essays, especially artist analyses, properly. Somehow I've managed to write them "properly", but it annoys me that he never teaches us *how* to write them.

[@stormclouds5860]

my teacher tell my whole class what artist we have to research, I didn’t know other people had options :/

how would you present a mindmap?

[@laylahazel6336]

Hi I'm currently in year 11 and I'm studying an artist who creates layered portraits using shadows and facial structure. I just wanted to know how you edited your photos to look like shepard fairey because the styles of the artworks are similar xxx

They can't actually do that plus it's probs not the teacher so don't blame them xx

[@yasu_6th]

What do you think the ratio for art to Annotations should be in a sketchbook? I fear I'm writing too much - 60% art and 40% writing is what I'm doing

[@MaisieCromptonn]

Corey Carter I actually think that’s about right, as long as your writing is relevant and clear I think that ratio is good!

[@unmanitewari4624]

If most of my work has a meaning behind it should we talk a lot about it or only take like one or two lines because my topic is something which has a deeper meaning so I all of my pieces have a lot of writing just in the meaning part of it 😅. I'm not doing gcse I'm doing IGCSE so the annotations would be the same

Go onto Pinterest and find the image u like and there should be a website link. From that try and find the artist who created that piece
