i’m taking gcse art and very much guessing that the grading is similar when i ask this but, do you evaluate you art works? i couldn’t see any evaluation pages and my art teacher puts a lot of emphasis on them (implying we wouldn’t get more than a 4 or 5 without)
Flu followed by chest infection is usually the irritating routine when flu hits. Luckily i have not had any illness for ten plus years thanks to manuka honey daily and Instant glucose for energy if a hint of anything might be occurring inside me. Plus exercise every day for at least an hour and lots and outs of clean water and a diet rich in antioxidants. The body will remain healthy or should. I hope you showcase your art skills more. Your A level sketchbooks were fantastic. You. remind me of my 16 year old niece who can paint in a hyper realistic style like your pomegranate. I hope she continues with her art and not give up like so many talented people. Anyway, great channel and hope to see more
just found this video!! i hate doing things alone and find it really hard to do! i randomly booked myself a cinema ticket for this eve and now im so anxious! but seeing you go has made me feel so much better :)
This is Aaaamazing! Thank you really much for sharing. Im an art teacher from Neuquen, Argentina. Im sure my students will be really inspired by you! ❤
thank you for this video, people dont realize how difficult it can be to be so open and vulnerable 🩷 i kind of want to write to my 25 / 27 year old self too now 🥺
@@izzybrooky i keep meaning to make one for my 'milestone' years but its somehow so intimidating?? doing one per year definitely takes the pressure off it so thanks for the idea!!!!
you’re so lovely! im really enjoying your solo trip videos 🤍🤍 (im planning to take myself on a solo date sometime soon so thank you for the inspiration!!!)
wow i just came across your video on my explorer page not knowing who you were, just assuming you were a popular youtuber and the thumbnail looked like a comfy vibe so i wanted to watch and you have gained a subscriber because i love your vibe. This video is actually really inspiring and really comforting <3
I have a question to ask you. I submitted my A level arts and design coursework in A3 size does smaller size than A2 will hamper my result or get failed?
Is it 100% necessary to add such a substantial amount of analysis to get high marks , especially or EACH page ..... The analysis is one of my weak points .
I think it depends on each exam board. I am doing AQA Art A-Level and my teacher said that we only need minimal writing, as long as it is to the point and helps explain the art etc. Hope this helps 👍
Hello, I am making a series of RU-vid video's about how to get into art school, I really like your idea's and process pages! would you mind if I screenshot them and use them as a reference? I will credit you of course!
This is so interesting! It's been more than 10 years since I did A level art, but I think I would have got a better grade if my sketchbooks had looked like yours! 😂 Where you've stuck in objects and samples, was that a pain when working on the other side of the page?
It depends what the samples were. A lot of the time I would wait and stick them in when I’d finished the book so I didn’t have any annoying lumps. But honestly, the majority of the time I didn’t really notice them and having a ring bound sketchbook helped.
It varied. Mostly I would use an old credit card and swipe a thin layer of white acrylic paint over the pages (leaving gaps) and when that had dried I’d use a cloth and rub a thin layer of a coloured acrylic over the top.
@@izzybrooky hollup will water and paint work like yk dip the paint using a brush in the water and spilling all the water in the paper little by little
These are so beautiful!!! 😭 I'm hopefully starting a level art next year but my school recommends we do four subjects for our first year and three for our second. The workload for art seems huge and seeing as one of my subjects didn't work out I was wondering how you found the work load and whether you would recommend just doing the three. I want to do Spanish and History alongside art and my forth subject would be religious studies instead of geography which I wanted to do instead of it. I've been on the fence about it so it would be great to get the POV of an a level artist!
I’m very sorry for the late reply! I also started doing 4 subjects but dropped down the 3. Art does have an incredible high workload because a large portion of the grade comes from your coursework. That being said you will finish it earlier than your other subjects and once it’s all handed in you can really focus on your other two and their exams. Honestly I just loved the course so much that I want everyone to do it and I do feel like I found the load manageable but I was lucky that I only had one written subject so I could spend all my frees and studies doing art/photography. I honestly think if you love everything about art - painting it, drawing it, writing about it - then you’ll be absolutely fine because it’s enjoyable work! I also think you realise quite quickly how much work you have to do so if it seems like it’ll be too much then you could drop it. For reference I sat down on my first day and was asked to have the first page done by the next week and from then on I worked at a page a week which was manageable for me but won’t be for some. I hope you figure it out!! 🥰
@@izzybrooky Thanks for the advice! I do really love art and seeing as we do AS levels at my school I will probably drop one of my written subjects after that. I found having art finished sooner at GCSE very useful during exams so that's always a bonus. I guess we'll see how I get on in September ✨ Thanks for the advice <3
AMAZING! Wish I could do something like this but my art teacher has a bit of a structure she would like us to follow at the beginning of our sketchbooks D: <3
Thank you for this. It was quite informative. I really dislike what GCSE and 'A' level art have become, and your sketchbook is good evidence for my views here. You're too young to know this, but decades ago art was a chance for the less literate / numerate kids to shine - those that had some talent or inclination (or both) towards art(y) subjects. What I regard as your hugely over-annotated sketchbook is almost certainly going to be something that would put off "less academic" kids, who otherwise may have found a 'voice' i.e. a means of expression, in drawing and painting etc. I'm labouring the point. Perhaps the pendulum will swing back, in time.
i completely agree! i’m currently taking a level art and it’s honestly insane the amount of writing they expect you to do. I love writing so i don’t mind it as much, but i hate the fact that a subject that’s meant to be about expression through physicality, not writing, is so based around writing. it’s exhausting the amount of both artwork and annotation a level art expects you to do now.
Hi, amazing work it’s incredible! Makes me wanna do one for casual research even if I don’t study ! I blown away 🤩 How did you do the backgrounds ? Before or after the drawing/writing ? I’m so impress it’s looking so cohesive and natural 😍
I definitely recommend doing it even if you’re not studying, it’s what I’m doing at the moment and I love it! Im posting a video soon of my process when I’m not doing it for school (but also how it could be interpreted for those who are still in school). For the backgrounds, if it’s a block colour that goes over the entire two pages I would always do that before any art or writing but if it’s just a bit of quink around some drawings or something like that I’d do it after the art and before the writing. The writing is always my final stage unless I end up with extra space and decide to add more art. 🤍
Wow this is amazing! I’m in my senior year of high school. We are doing our portfolio for college and it is not nearly as much work as this but my classmates still find it is. Props to you for sticking till the end.
