Errr correction- You do learn Art History/Theory in TAFE Fine Arts courses. It's not ALL practical, but yes, there is a bigger emphasis on practical. But from uni to uni they also place more or less emphasis aswell.

Depends what you're doing. Some types of mixed media and layered style painting (think street art influence) do not require expensive paints. Or supports for that matter. But if you're doing a very realistic artwork, you'd best look for higher quality materials.

I was always under the impression if you got under 30 they don't tell you exactly what you got - but if you contact UAC, you can find out (they don't bother telling you outright because a -30 UAI is pretty much useless for getting into uni [unless of course you did really well in say... Music...

Out of the approx 8000 body of works sent in each year, around about 800 get nominated for Art Express. Then the curators from each venue step in, and around about 200 works end up being exhibited all up. So basically, if you're nominated you have about a 1 in 4 chance of being exhibited...

If you scroll to the bottom of the following page, you will find examples of answers from all band levels in the 2001 and 2002 HSC Visual Art exams. http://arc.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/go/hsc/std-packs/

It would help if you gave some starting points - such as what type of things you're interested in, what things have worked for you in the past, what is your strongest medium/form etc etc Your year 11 work should be a good guide as to what you're good at and what you're not so good at too.

In my class, they seemed to have a competition going where they would try and have the VAPD with the most amount of blank pages. Go figure! :bomb:

I stole it. :ninja:

Yes, you're right! Thanks for the correction. Silly me :bomb:

Internal Assessment: Development of the BOW (50%) Art Criticism and History (50%) External Assessment: Submission of the BOW (50%) HSC Exam (50%) :santa:

Weren't you ever given the option of going on Pathways? Studying year 12 part-time over 2-5 years would have given you much more time to dedicate yourself to both your sport and schooling.

It's not possible to know this years cut-off yet, due to the fact that marking hasn't started, giving them no idea of the standard. If the standard of this year is very very high, the cut-off will naturally be higher (say, 46), but if the standard is lower, they have to make the cut-off lower...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant by going through a large selection from each form, to work out what a high 6 looks like, a low 5, a high 3 etc etc etc!

Unfortunately, no. You'll just have to guess by breaking down your final external mark (for example, if you crash and burn in the exam but still get a decent mark, obviously your BOW did quite well) And getting preselected for ArtExpress is also an indicator of a high mark, although the...

That's generally how it works. This is why each year when the travelling markers go around to certain schools, students with works in particular categories that are less common (Interactives, Designed Objects and Environments etc) are asked to submit their works to the marking centre - to...

My art teacher used to be second in charge at the marking centre, and so this is roughly what happens (similar to what RainbowBrite said, but I believe there are a few differences) Firstly, all of the markers are given a rundown of the process by senior markers, and the assistant supervisor...

Hey Jeza, we need a password to see :) (Otherwise you could upload to www.imageshack.us )

Wow, that is a beautiful painting!

Smiley - when artworks are selected for ArtExpress, students are asked to make a statement to go with it. Not all works that you see in ArtExpress were handed in at the marking stage with statements. Not handing in a statement with your BOW will not hinder your chances of being selected for...
