TOP IN THE COUNTRY A* IGCSE Art Coursework ✨ Examples and Tips (ENG/KOR)

Hi guys, in today's video, I'll be showing you my IGCSE coursework (a video on exam prep will be up soon). I got an A* and top in the country (in South Africa) - I'll go through my work, showing you what I did and why I did what I did.
Hope you enjoyed it and found it useful, you are more than welcome to leave a comment down below for me to answer. I'll try to be as helpful as I can 😂

AS Coursework video is out too ✨ AS 아트 영상도 올려왔으니 관심있는 분들은 봐주세욧 🤍

[@sydneyhazel277]

Thank you so much for the video!! it helped me get ideas for my IGCSE because my current art teacher doesn't help me too much sadly hahah :") also i love your artwork sm! that A* was really well deserved

[@tlrqkd_o]

I'm so glad to hear it helped! Sorry to hear your art teacher isn't helpful that much :(( Thank you so much 🥰

[@sydneyhazel277]

@@tlrqkd_o omg thanks so much for the reply!! i love u so much!! ah and may i ask, do you have any tips into finding a link artist? because i dont know how to find one and i dont have a painter i currently admire >

[@tlrqkd_o]

Hi, no problem at all. I'd suggest going to local museums but due to Covid... I suggest looking up some artworks online (searching things you are interested in) and finding some artists from there. Hope this helps!

[@11mmyyyy]

heyy did u get a good grade?

[@αυγής]

hi i am doing my igcse art this year and i just want to say you are really inspiring me right now, we do the same subject ( all sciences, computer science and art) and I was really doubting myself then you came top in the country and thats just really motivating. Thank so much I hope you have a wonderful life, God bless.

[@tlrqkd_o]

Thank you so much for this kind comment. I'm glad to hear that I was able to help you. Taking sciences doesn't mean you are any less artsy.. you can do whatever you want! If anything, I think having this balance is much encouraged. Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful life ahead too! 🩵

[@ravenandkite]

Watching this with my daughter who is busy with iGCSE art (also in SA). Thank you - it is really helpful. Love your vibe! Giggled with you a lot... x

[@ravenandkite]

If you have time to answer a question I'd love to ask whether (assuming your exam was in May) you worked on the coursework book from January to March/April, or whether the coursework was from the previous year also?

[@tlrqkd_o]

If I remember correctly, it was also from the previous year. Thanks for your comment!

[@paraamisss1331]

hey, love your work! especially the van gogh piece! i was wondering if you could help me with CIE igcse component 1 and possibly 2? my school doesn’t provide art & design so basically i gotta self-study and it’s been a real struggle so far :/

[@tlrqkd_o]

Hi, thanks a lot:) could you send me an email to [e-mail] regarding what exactly you need help with? I will try to answer as best as I can.

[@sakabambaspiss]

My teacher barely explained the whole point of this exam so thank you, this video helped a lot! ^^ But I have a question! How many primary photos is required, and how many secondary photos might be too much? My topic is related to the ocean so it's a bit hard for me to take reference photos.

[@tlrqkd_o]

No problem! There is no set amount that is required, but I'd say just try and choose the best ones out of them all. No need to present something that is mediocre if you can avoid it. Also I would try and stay away from using other people's photos. If your topic's related to the ocean maybe visit the aquarium to take some pics?

Beautiful work! Where do you research for your link artists?

[@tlrqkd_o]

Thanks! I used to use either Pinterest or Instagram.

[@cecily7706]

love your drawingssss and this video is so helpful !!! How many artists did u look at through out and did your teacher tell u u had to look at a certain number?

[@tlrqkd_o]

Thanks a lot💕 I'm glad you found the video helpful. Our teacher said you should at least have 2,3 artists - I think I had around 3 or 4 in total just for the course work.

[@MeenakshiM-cv8ud]

Can you please do a video on your exam preparation work (the one with 4 preps)? I am currently IGCSE art student and I would really appreciate it!

[@tlrqkd_o]

Hi, I'm not sure I'll get around to making the exam prep videos, but I have uploaded photos of my AS exam prep in the community tab if you want to have a look! Thanks ☺️

[@tlrqkd_o]

[@TheFrays-d9r]

The 8a2 sheets are they four like back to back. And can one produce all this within a short period especially coursework I'm in year 2 igcse and we are having component two in June series. I feel scared

[@tlrqkd_o]

Hi, I don't think it was back to back - I did mine like that since I had bigger pieces and couldn't fit them all in one side. But I reckon you should check the syllabus. And as for the time, it really depends. Just do bit of work everyday. I know that sounds like a lot.. but that's the way to go if you want to do well. Good luck 🍀

[@melove8196]

Do i require references, because my art work is usually at it's best when i think of sketch myself and use colour/light references on the side. (or do i use the colour and light references as my source of "inspiration")

[@tlrqkd_o]

I think it's the best to include whatever resource you used. So if it was an image that you created then include the references even if it was just colour/light refs.

[@ibrahimniaf5841]

Hii, imma fellow igcse art student as well and my exams are next year. Tysm for this video, it really helped me get a proper perspective on how 'my coursework' has to look like.

Cool video!! I have a question if you don’t mind answering, do we always have to have references for our drawings? I did some doodles and concept art for my final but I didn’t base them off any first hand photos, but I plan to develop from them. Is it alright to put them in my prep? Thank you!! 😆🙏
