Is this SGL Megabaz?

Hey congratulations! I'm not surprised because it looks AMAZING.
I did web design for my BOW and submitted a CD-ROM so I don't know how they'd ever display it. You know Art Express is the most popular free exhibition of the AGNSW all year round and my teacher thinks it's all contrived but who cares? A gallery exhibition is a gallery exhibition! I can't wait to see it in person though .

 

[Farnarcle]

Yah, me too. And yes those works will definately get in in my opinion.

 

[allyteaded]

., waw...... Congrats!

You did soooooooo much! It's very different and interesting.

I got in too three people from my class. Um... well, I've posted photos in that "BOW pics" thread. I'm sorry I'm just really lazy... they're in there somewhere...

 

[kieransgirl]

yea i got shortlisted but my pic is too big to display. 15 girls got in from my class out of 35!!!

 

[Nocturama]

i got selected too- yay... i am excited.
reality check- were 1 out of 800...
oh well, lets all be proud we got pre selected.

 

[allyteaded]

yeah... but 800 out of 8000?? That's being among the top 10% of the state!!

... not too shabby...

And then - having a 1/4 chance of getting into art express...

Still - I don't think it's very fair that they're already selecting and some schools haven't been marked yet...

 

[Farnarcle]

How do they tell you?

 

[jello]

omg
i havnt recived anything
im so sad....

 

[Farnarcle]

Hehe, same, lol. Don't worry, just cos you didn't get anything it doesn't mean you can't paint. It should be the kicker to make you paint more. Or whatever you do.

 

[form_n_focus]

If we havnt got mail on friday does that mean we def. arent in?? could there still b more in the mail? is mail deliverable on weekends? A guy in my class got in and he lives a few suburbs away (no offense but his work is shit) and id be pissed off if neither me or my friend who constantly got best marks didnt get in and he did (im trying my best not to sound up myself but hey) argh! Any response appreciated!!

 

[Farnarcle]

Yeah, I know, clinging to the hope that 'maybe my letter is just late'.

I'm nominated too amongst 6 members from my school to be pre-selected - i don't think i will make it to the exhibition though - still, hoping for a high band 6!

http://home.iprimus.com.au/mnleung/dc/artworks1.jpg

i doubt that this will be selected, cos from the pics it looks good, from close up it's still not 'finished' if you know what i mean - and it's not sprayed with a fixer yet!
