⚠️TRIGGER WARNING: BREIF AND VAGUE MENTION OF SUICIDE IN THE CONTEXT OF AN ART PIECE⚠️
I swear, if you sat down an english teacher and an art teacher together, they could have a four hour discussion about the symbolism of different colours.
ikr
Yk that is actually so real English teachers just love pulling things out of thin air
I love how every art student basically hates art😂
I just HATE my teacher

I can see that art has taken over your life
Hahah i see no lies
@@emilybrady2480 I really love ur video it helped a lot♥️ Rn my dumb self is trying to finish all my art homework the day before school while fasting and I've only got a few hours left 😭😭 hate procrastinating. Also I wanted to ask how u can analyse and annotate so much. I'm literally the worst at it and cannot think outside the box for the life of me. H e l p p l e a s e😭😭
Each cut is a mental breakdown
These fade transitions are killing me!😂
Battered Fish Brick Productions as you can see I cannot edit
Honestly once you’ve taken art gcse you have the ability to become the art teacher 😂
you lost me at the mental health but i already picked it so looks like im stuck😂
My mum told me she brestfeeded me in tate and people thoght we where an exibition

u came out of the womb a masterpiece
it definitely is the hardest GCSE not trying to scare you (I had to finish mine without feedback from my art teacher and we didn't do an exam or anything so that was tough) but I still got an 8 and it was my worst grade even though it took me far more time than any other subject. also I hated it by the end it was the most stressful thing I've ever done good luck :)
8 was your worst grade????
@@Jinx-rj7kx Ikr :)
@@Jinx-rj7kx don't take this seriously I they really think 8 is their worst grade. Art isn't that hard, you just have to try
@@Sogggys who’s that in your profile picture?
@@Sogggys Thats the issue, a lot of people try but not hard enough, art gcse is so life draining and if you fall behind it is quite hard to catch up on and will require a lot of work, lesson time is not enough especially since its non core and you will need to spend most time on this subject at home.
I have took some notes
Help yourself
Ik art is a horrible option
1. Response to the stimulus
A paragraph about what you first thought when you had the stimulus
2. Bring different media: photographs, screen shots, drawing, paintings, writing, newspapers
3. Mindmaps : keywords, artists, programmes
4. The more obscure the artists the better,
5. Do artists copies
6. Talk about the artists as they are the reason of you living, exaggeration. The are the best and they really inspired you
7. Annotate artwork
8. Development: what examiners care about, develop you ideas, initial plans, final plans
9. When you develop your final idea you need to explain why
10. Examiners want something extraordinary, take the stimulus in a way that no one else take it in
11. Be ridiculous, make it seem like your life resolve around that topic
12. Can be anything, write an esssay about how meaningful it is, and how it made a difference to your life
13. Interpret the idea into your piece
14. Do your work in different media
15. Make it seem that your final piece is the best thing you ever did in your life, be proud of it take pictures in different angles, sketch it write about how much pride you have in it
16. Anotate your final piece
17. Make it seem that the things you did were revolutionary you are going to come back to it and change it a bit
18. Use every media, EXPERIMENT
19. Look at each section of you piece and provide evidence of how much you experimented
20. Internet mood boards
21. Need primary resource, picture you took yourself
22. Need secondary sources, pictures you took of the Internet
23. Refinement, you micromanage every detail of your final piece, you decide exactly what it is going to be, draw out an exact plan of it, you draw out that plan in 10 more times in ten more different medias
24. NOT TALENT, PATIENCE, RESILIENCE, HARD WORK
25. Evaluate your ideas, you first interpretation was however i want to make it deeper, i looked at these artists, thus is what i think people would get from my work, this is what i was excited about making, i felt this, i felt excited to tell a story through this, this and that i encountered some problems along the way for example , how i fixed them, how you developed things , how skills changed, how they have been enriched, talk about what you have learnt, talk more technically, i thing my choice of colour is , my choice of use this image is particularly helpful in portraying the theme, helped the onlookers find deeper meaning
26. Bang bang ending, say what you would do if you go back to make the final piece better, overall talk about how meaningful and extraordinary the experience was, be dramatic
27. Recommend doing a serious topic
28. Pick something you feel passionate about, if you don't have make one
29. Poems, writing, songs, photography include it
30. Want something personal
31. Need to make the examiner like you
32. Bring un your understanding of the topic, your views on it
33. You can do anything, and call it art
34. Include song lyrics, poems, quotes, letters, envelopes
35. Have a style, a trademark
36. Bang bang ending the last page
37. Relate to you artwork
38. Give them something to think about
39. At the end of your work, put a question, a confession
40. Add little creativite things in the course work
41. Be original, interpret the stimulus in your own way
42. Visit galleries
42. Anotate artists works, take pictures with them
43. Go to a place that link to your final piece
44. Pay attention to the details
45. Spend time on the background
46. Any material is useful
46. If the art teacher didn't support hour craziness, IGNORE THEM
47. Tears when you are writing why you picked this topic
48. Should be so prepared when you go into the exam
49. When are prepared, you finish early, you will have extra time to improve
50. Don't leave blank space
51. Include wild, wacky things
52. Examiners love craziness
53. Progress photos
This was very helpful thank you so much 🫶🏼
ur a life saver🙏
I know this was commented 2 years ago but you are a Saint thank you so much
i gained so much respect for you when I saw that you ACTUALLY wrote those newspaper pages word for word. i would go crazy💀
I'm probably gonna fail GCSE art, I'm not that imaginative and I'm not good at analysing and annotating 😫 I've just started year 10 btw
OMG SAME 😖
literally don’t even worry 😭 make shit up a lot of people just bluffed and still got really good marks
literally waffle as hard as you can im not even kidding. i talked about how a jar of marmite represents division as people either hate or love marmite 😹
Thanks for all the advice 😁 I think I need to practise my waffling skills now 😂
OMG ME AND YOU BOTH GIRL I JUST STARTED YR 10 TOO I NEED HELLPP SO IM WATCHING THIS😪😭😭
One main thing I want to include in my gcse art book are people expressing their body and who they are, for example I want to draw the model who has virtilago and I want to draw plus sized people being who they are because it inspires me to me myself and it just gives you a hint of what people think/say about themselves I just aspire it ❤️❤️
Can i just say, this video is great! But to anyone who feels they won't do well, you don't need to do as much to get a grade 9. I'm expected an 8/9, and i didn't do as much like at all. Obviously doing work like this will guarantee an amazing grade however, art is about completing the 4 AO's efficiently . Things like, observational drawings, primary photos, ANALYSIS! She does mention analysis and it's VERY important. (Literally speaking about "deeper meanings", feelings that are conveyed, your opinion, what the work contains (tones/contrast (use artistic terms) and as she said, you can ramble on and that will get you marks). Write analysis for everything (as much as u can) (as my teacher says, literally speak to them like they are a baby, explain everything you did in a drawing or the artist did, etc). Also mindmaps, plan, initial ideas, final plans, everything, shows your development and thought, DEFO include this. (Even a random Mindmap about anything). IF you wanna know more, search A01, AO2, AO3, AO4 IN ART. Oh yeah, also the use of materials and experimenting. (using acrylic, watercolor, pen, pencil, painting on different backgrounds, impasto, dry brushing (different techniques), oil paints. And of course your final piece (AO4), (if u r doing aqa art gcse, search online what you need to do to get high marks or do this for any board :)) Your final piece needs to LINK to your theme, everything you do in general needs to LINK. IF it doesn't you'll most likely lose marks. But any way, this is pretty much what i did, of course you can do what she did, but I could never, so don't think that you won't do well because she has a different method, which is great btw, but i'm not as talented :)
When you just started year 10 and am taking Art 😳
yessssssss I'm an idiot and changed late cz I'm LAZY from History to ART...
F ma life LOL
@@chacoshokoboi1487 omg. Same I dropped history and took art, I am such an idiot
yeah
@@apricxtt I'm doing both, pray for me 😭
@@venus6987 omg😭how’s it going?
i’m a year 10 at the end of my first term in art gcse and oh my god. it’s so hard to please the teachers all the time, this was so helpful, thank you so much
Me too but a year later
hows 11 treating you i just became year 11 too and im so stressed
Same my art teacher is so fussy
I just started year 10 art and why did this make me excited.... I need help I am already insane (watched the whole video aswell)
I breathe art so this video just killed me
Okay a lot of people can probably relate right now when i say I feel like I wanna die rn every time I walk into the art room. Our exam board still haven’t told us our project for this year (I don’t live in England) and we are already running out of time.
omg sameeee i dont know what ill dooo im sooo lost my teacher so shittt wont even listennn too me at alll forcing us to do his ideas
r u welsh? because same and wtf save our curriculum
the fact i just watched your hour long video about art proves that my art is officially controlling my life, my teacher hasn’t even mentioned annotations and it annoys me so much, i’ve annotated my work because i’m smart lmao but i’m genuinely worried for the rest of the class 😭
when ur art teacher makes sure all ur books are uniform and the same and doesn't let you have an imagination...
4:01
I actually got a 9 on one of my artist analysis even while dissing the artist.
I think it was because of the way I did it...although I didn't like the artist, I still had the ability to aprecciate the utter effort and dedication he put into his work, and analysed it just as I did the others (that I liked). I mean, my title was literally 'Dull yet sharp', (dull as in boring, sharp as in smart xd).
you need to 100% make a video on all of your art books
this is the best art gcse video i think ive ever watched and ive watched wayyy to many haha, you make the viewer feel like your best friend and i love that😟 really helpful, thankyou😊
a girl in my school did the blank canvas thing. i think she got a 7 or an 8.
how-
What’s that
@@jasminelogan8102 it's literally a blank page, basically she drew nothing
@@gangstae3838 i- wow
What- how? I thought you got a 0 if you did nothing
i was watching this while stressing about my 13 pages of my sketchbook to do due in 2 days💔
OMG SAME DNBMEDJAS HELP
My coursework is due in 3 weeks and I have 10 pages of sketchbook and some random drawings I’m failing hard lmao
@@hoperogers131 U GOT THIS
@@hoperogers131 try split up the work so it gets easier, mayb one page a day and 1-2 random drawings
@@77munti YOUR SO NICE, I WILL TRY MY BEST
i did like 12 double pages (2/3rds of my book i think) and I got an 8 while a lot of my classmates used the whole book. Most of them got 6 which kinda baffled me but I guess it's because of my development, and the unique way I took the theme, just use symbolism and make your art mean something, even if its complete waffle- the art teachers eat that up. so pls dont worry if you're not good at filling up pages, i promise. Also she deserves like a grade 10 omg
Well DONE congratulations
12 doubles pages of what? I'm trying to improve my grade cause I'm on a grade 5
I'm in y7 and I already know I'm going to do art gcse and I'm extremely terrified to do it but ur video is amazing and it made me feel so much more calm, thankyou x
Same
DOOO NOTT
same!
We are both in year 9 now :)
The fact that I watched this whole thing took notes made drafts but I'm gonna be honest this video is very helpful
I think this is the 6th time I’ve watched this in the past year to motivate myself
Yessss this is me but it genuinely helps when I am burnt out this video is what I need to get me going again!! 😂
I love her omg😭
To really enrich my GCSE art annotations, I used to hype my self up about my chosen topic to the point where I would cry while writing my annotations-to really infuse my passion into every single word. In hindsight it seems really stupid, but it actually fucking worked. Tbh my mental health will never ever recover, But hey I think that’s the consensus of every GCSE art student ☺️
im in year 10 and i recently started my coursework hearing you talk about all you've done is really making me rethink the effort I've been putting in 😭😭😭. I'm deff putting in more effort into my annotations and backgrounds now
Should of seen this few months ago before I chose Art, Spanish and History 👁👄👁
If it makes you feel better I chose art Spanish and triple science so I’m not doing any better...
Maria Bianchi ayeee I have triple science too.....and let’s be honest I hate my younger self for picking those subjects
Ive got options this year what should i take im thinking spanish triple science dt and business?
Xitara tbh you should take stuff you feel will either be useful to you in life, you like to do or will be useful to you career based
I chose art triple science psychology german and history😀😭also nice your name pfp
You are such a vibe haha😂 I’m doing level 2 art at college and have been finding it hard especially having to link it to artists that didn’t actually inspire my work to much lol. Thank you for this video it’s helped me a lot. Xx
I feel like ur rlly slept on, you're rlly entertaining and helpful.
Out of all of the GCSE art vides I have watched within this past year of doing GCSE Art, this video by far has been the best video I have actually seen. I'm going to need more of this on Everything!!! (literally ;) )
heyy how did u doo im sooo lostt i dont know what to do my art teachers suckkkk
@@zxuyairia I'll be handing in the coursework this year but just keep on top of your work and experiment with every possible media you can get your hands on. Annotate the life out if EVERY piece and draw like there's no tmr and then you'll be on track.
(Despite the stress and everything else, don't forget to enjoy your theme/ idea aswell)
I’m not doing the exam for my art GCSEs anymore because of the covid situation so it’s only based on my course work and the development of my final portrait.
Me too
samee yay
your art is genuinely so interesting,, i didn't expect the depth of it tbh
this was actually very helpful thank you
I have just started my GCSE sketchbook (I am in year 10) and I am so glad that I found this video so close to the beginning of the course. I am doing the theme of collections and I am doing an autumnal page at the moment and I will now hate autum every year from now on. This video is going to help me so much when I get closer to the submission date.
Same (not the topic just the year) and this is so helpful. Hope you get a good grade :D
26:33- make something that makes people feel something.
Find a way to link your passion with your Art.
38:33- use different materials,
- make background pretty- look nice on the page.
u are genuinely so funny. like everything u said stuck to me bc of the fact i found u funny PLEASE.
You look like Maralyin Monroe, you're so pretty!
Trudie Pops omg thank you I love her😍😍
Ah yes I'm waiting for more hilarious content like this 😂 Tiktok gang where you at? ❤️ 😂
idk about choosing art bc i’m really really bad at art but i enjoy it and seeing art like yours and other good art makes me think i’ll fail
i watched every minute of this video, being already crazy and having crazy experiences for references and inspiration, and im even more crazy and now know every single step on how to annotate and explain these experiences through so many mediums and medias , long paragraphs, emotions and so much more
THANK U
I used a worn house on a snowy day on christmas to show how elements influence the flow and feeling of the world and how elements of a household influence a persons mental health and feelings
This video is fantastic!! made me rethink my whole approach to my art gcse I was struggling to put my thoughts and emotions into my book since my school just gives us a list of stuff to do not explaining to us the amount of detail and thought you have to put in thank you so so much 💕
i have a headache with how many times my teacher has said "don't do realism because the class as a whole isn't advanced enough" this year i have no choice to listen to her because SHE is the one marking my gcse :(
Usually there will be a group of teachers that will mark not just one (so that its more fair bc one teacher may like smth but another dislikes it) so if u feel that u can do well in realism u should do it! :D
I’m in yr 9 and I love art, I’m thinking of choosing gcse art...this has helped a lot because most of them I didn’t know you needed for gcse art.
How did it go?
Bruh I joined GCSE Art without any practice in art before thinking it was going to be so easy, so I thought I’d search about it
All I know is that so far GCSE Art sounds like it’s going to be hard 💀 Wish me luck these 2 years
Hi! I chose it for next year too, wishing you luck! I’m nervous but also excited
The main thing you need to do is literally explain EVERYTHING you do. You need to annotate and if you chose an artist or a medium, you need to explain why you did that
I’m literally terrified I’m so scared I won’t be able to keep up with the work , any tips 🥺
Don’t fall behind with work. It’s the worst experience ever. Doing 3 drawings at 2 am becomes your lifestyle if you do. Do everything as soon as you get it. Trust me you won’t regret it. Also when you’re analysing, write like you’re talking to a 3 yr old. So assume the examiner knows nothing about what you’re doing and they have the brain cells of a pea. Use as many mediums as you can and generally try your hardest. Sell your soul to Satan and hope it goes well
And with writing bullshit your way through it. Could an interpretation be about how the artist was berated at age 2 by his nursery teacher? Yes? Then write that. No matter how niche it may seem, write something rather than nothinf

@@faiyom3254 I decided to take art A Level as well. That was a decision. It’s actually fun atm tho but we’ve only done the induction stuff right now with skill building. We haven’t done an actual project yet sooo 😬

back here a year later actually doing gcse now in year 10, we arent given stimuli's we're picking our own and its scary we have SO little guidance
Thank you so much for this! I finally feel motivated to do art :)
Also I know you said quantity over quality but it depends which course you’re doing . I did AQA rather than OCR and aqa is about developing one type of art whereas ocr is doing loads of different styles

oh my days emily brady is one of my favorite people in the world! Some of these tips I cant do just because at my school we have to mainly use big whopping a2 study sheets and our a4 sketchbooks are just for homeworks :( (I do most of my work out of class already though) so do you have any tips for how to make the examiner like you using study sheets, just because its a lot more difficult to add things like pieces of wood and other quirky 3d elements, and since they are all loose sheets there isn't a clear beginning and end to my work so I'm not sure how to give it personality and make it stand out from everyone else's. Please help! Also while I was watching this video it dawned on me that I am NOT getting a 9 in my art GCSE. Oh well. Please make more videos like this, it was really useful for me as I have just started the course in September. Thank you Emily!
I love this energy
I could watch you for hours you are so entertaining! these tips are so helpful, thank you
- it's VERY important that parents realise how self expression and personal creative space is SO important. Wall space to put up sketches is important and helps self expression.
The slow decent into chaos is basically my character art
Everyone told me I shouldn’t do art gcse because it’s the hardest . I missed the first gcse year of doing art (year 10) so I didn’t even have a full year to complete my sketchbook and I came out with an A* and I didn’t even do that much work in my book . If you’re considering doing it don’t be like me and listen to everyone else saying it’s hard . If you’re good at it and enjoy it do it !!
so helpful, watched this 4 times through all the way while I do art. please can you make more videos on annotating and can anyone give me ideas on what i can do with the theme 'growth and decay' thank you x
i cant offer any advice but im doing growth and decay too lol
Hey so I did the theme ‘growth decay and transformation last year’ and my biggest tip is to not do the obvious. Like a skull or rotting fruit etc. I mean you can but then it wouldn’t really be meaningful or original. Idk if this will help but for my final piece I did like 2 heads coming out of one head in the middle showing different emotions with a decaying background. I hope this helps! If you’ve got any questions I’d be happy to help
@@sarah1559 thank you so much!
feeling blessed and stressed, my sketchbook is DEFINITELY not up to grade 9 standards and i don’t think there’s any way i could like remake it, so.. you know, coping. gonna do some stuff and then put my entire soul into the other one. idk
video? super helpful. like, extremely. i’ll know what to do next time!!!
i will get a high grade in art and/or i will perish.
i feel like i’ve just me told off. the ONLY advice my art teacher gives is ‘don’t be afraid or dark tones’. like VAL. I AM NOT AFRAID OF DARK TONES!!
i sat through this entire video n i wasnt one bit tired, tysm ur an amazing person
when you told me you were editing a yt video i didn’t know you were editing it on ADOBEEEE
HAHSJAJAJJAJA
I’ve watched this whole video, not skipped a second, make full notes on everything, thank you so much I now hope I get a 9 😂🤞
this is actually the most helpful video i’ve seen in a while, 52 minutes of information :)) ty!
Alright I’m not sure but basically what I’m getting is that we should make the examiner feel something from our art until it leaves an impression on them. Please feel free to add more to my evaluation 😆
I love how devoted you are to explain this 🎉
I’m taking art, photography and media I don’t think I was in the right mind when I chose my subjects 😃
Do you plan on doing a showcase of all your art coursework? I'm doing collections right now and I'm having a very hard time coming up with an idea
omg tysm you may have saved my life :0
I’m now in year 11 and we aren’t doing a final exam anymore so it’s all based on coursework and I’m scared it isn’t good enough
YO THATS TERRIFYING
Course work is definitely scarier than exams because you can never tell if it’s good enough but hey at least you got the full year to make sure that you have the best sketchbook you can possibly have, my tip: never enough writing
Same girl, I’m literally so scared because at me AQA is making us submit it online so the examiners can’t even see our books in person
Same, and we were given 3 months to finish our sketchbooks, keeping in mind that we only have 1hr per week of Art. Safe to say, I'm failing 😂
@@santao1560 yeah we have like 2 hours a week and they expect us to do so much

So I've been researching, watching yt videos, watching tiktoks and everything and ur video is the best. It honestly gave me so much information I didn't know that I needed. Honestly, I thought art gcse was all about how much u knew in drawing, sketching, painting e.t.c but now I know its not all about that. tysm!!
