Perhaps consider switching? I too am considering a switch, because I didn't take a creative subject and I m atdssed about that. And i might switch to art. If you're really unhappy perhaps look into something else? First, check if you need Art GCSE to be what you any to be

@TvT hows it going?

[@guinevere788]

Right I am in y11 now about to start the coursework that will make up 60% of my grade and I have NO CLUE what I’m doing. 😭 My teacher hasn’t explained AT ALL what we are supposed to do and I’m just so stressed! I feel everything I’m doing is so disjointed and random with no order or meaning to it, my teacher has us working in two sketchbooks which has my work scattered everywhere and AGGH I’m losing my mind! Do you basically just do a load of artist research pages connected to ONE topic you choose for your coursework (like for my mock I chose to do political unrest so do I carry on with that?) and then a ton of examples of you imitating their work? And how does that link to your final piece? Any help would be greatly appreciated bc my teacher is a nightmare and I am panicking so badly lol

[@Maisie_crompton]

guinevere basically like your mock, you can pick a new topic for your 60% coursework sketchbook - but a lot of teachers recommend you do something similar so for example if you were doing drawing people for your mock then you don’t change to drawing sunsets (you stick to what you know how to do in order to get the best marks) you should change your project title/book but I would say stick to the type of thing you were doing before (unless you hate it) I changed it completely as I didn’t like painting realistic after year 10 // then find different artists to research connected to that topic that ‘influence or inspire your work’ - hope this helps, let me know if you need any other help xx

[@guinevere788]

Maisie Crompton omg bless you absolute angel ! Feeling a lot more relaxed now but again thank you!!

[@pumpkin.baby.h]

My teacher is the exact same! She's only just told us that we'll be doing our 60% coursework exam in 2 months and we haven't even started the research let alone the preparation for it. I'm so screwed and I have no clue what to do as my teacher keeps on changing what she wants me to do

[@Xashleeox]

I also find it easier when u draw and u want highlights. Always start with the light shaded pencil then using a darker pencil add ur shadows or whatever, then after that use a pencil stump to blend it. Or if u don’t have a pencil stump soft tissue works just as well!

Hey I’m in year 11 to (fml) and I had the exact same problem. I was stuck at a 3 for months. But I found that your actual talent in art isn’t as important as you may think. I’m not particularly talented when it comes to art so I use the photography side to raise my grade. If I were you I’d focus on filling your page with annotations, photos and experimental work. That way you don’t need as many studies and paintings. It doesn’t require much artistic skill but it REALLY helped to raise my grade. Good luck my dude

[@StarBurst-yd4wo]

I suggest writing about anything and everything that you can. Factfiles, your own opinions, annotations even key words dotted around a page.

I’m going into year 10 which where I live is the start for gcse. I chose art very reluctantly because I don’t want to go into realism but any of the careers I want to go in to need an art gcse.I like to think I have some talent but my only issue is that I will spend 10+ hours on a tiny piece of art, don’t get me wrong I’ll get top grades for it but I’m working on my speed. My art teacher was very persistent with the fact she wanted me to take art purely out of the fact that I can analyse really well, I’m very aware that I am going to struggle with art on top of my computer science and other gcse subjects but I’m too stubborn to not pass and will probably spend weekends working on art pieces. Thank you so much for this I’ve been writing down a bunch of artists and ideas for my sketchbook. Even though I’m super stressed from it I know I’ll be alright eventually. My mum took fine art and she admitted it was stressful but I’m lucky she has her old sketchbook as I can use it for reference :))’ again thank you for this :3

Heyy, i have quite a few questions if i could ask them on instagram or something? I started year 11 a few weeks ago but started a sketchbook in year 10 and still using that one and planning a final piece but im thinking of making a new sketchbook and transferring the stuff I want into a new one... but i have no idea if I will have enough time 😭 x

I’m currently in year 10 and I got a 6 for my first piece so I really hope to get an 8 or 9 by GCSEs 😬

how’d it go

[@Anonymous-sg4tr]

Art GCSE is one of the hardest GCSE's you could possibly do. It's stressful, it's difficult and you need to sacrifice a lot of time if you want to achieve a B, A or even an A*. If you are choosing art simply because you don't know what else to do you are gonna experience hell

[@callielevkin7071]

Wow thats rlly reassuring tysm

[@reginaphalangephalange6152]

i’m not sure if we’re on a different exam board or something i do AQQ and literally analysis doesn’t mean that much like you could write like 2 lines and get all the marks (were told there’s only 4 for annotation) so yeah lol but in my school if you literally do a cute back ground and stick some artist copy’s that you did to make it look cute lol, your art could be as bad as anything but as long as it’s kinda aesthetic you’ll get good marks 😂

[@Maisie_crompton]

Regina Phalange ahaha that sounds good!! Lucky you yeah I wasn’t on that exam board and I don’t think many people are aha!!

[@tobyabrahams7441]

thank you so much, it was actually super helpful

[@arateki3942]

what would you say to someone like me who has a biased teacher and degrades you constantly and can’t find the motivation to do well again like they used to in art?

[@Maisie_crompton]

peacesuwus sorry to hear that, I think what id do is just start doing art that I love, start to enjoy it again - art is subjective so something your teacher may love you may hate and sometimes it’s just luck if you both like the same thing. You could ask the teacher what they want you to do, not so you can do it necessarily just so you know whether she’s being critical of your work or she just knows that it won’t get the top grades you deserve xxx

[@user-vv6lb5rc6r]

This is quite unrelated but how do you get your channel name to be like that? Like arateki?

[@Maisie_crompton]

Baldtaro kujo oh that’s a shame! How a lot of schools work these days sadly, keep up your passion though x

[@cabbageman2184]

That shouldn’t happen, my art teacher literally told me to do manga art for my final piece

[@azereth338]
