      Yeah we did tasks we were asked to do by our teacher, but we also had lots of freedom to do our own things if we wanted to x

    Hey quick question I’m thinking of doing art but I feel as though I’m not going to do well like I can’t paint faces or draw them I’m really nervous I’ve read so many things saying people regret art. Is it difficult to balance art with other revision topics?

    • @LiaSophie
      @LiaSophie  Před 5 lety +2

      It can be tricky at times to get a balance as art is very time-consuming. For me it was an easy decision as I have always been passionate about drawing and painting so it would've felt wrong to not take it. If it's a subject that you really enjoy I think you should go for it! Maybe you could create a timetable so you allow time for your other subjects too x

    In my school we don't do sketchbooks and can pick whichever themes we want. We mainly focus on doing like these boards. I don’t want to pick something too strict so do you think that the theme ‘amusement’ is good? Please help me as my deadline for picking the theme isn’t that far away!!! Thankyou 💗

    Hi , I’m in year 11 and I just started my theme “identity” and I’m panicking because I’ve done like 3 pieces of work , is there anyway I can still get a 7 or hopefully an 8

    • @LiaSophie
      @LiaSophie  Před 3 lety

      I had that theme too! Don’t panic I’m sure there’s time to turn it around. Try and do a few more pages and make sure you’ve got some artists analysis in there and showed the development of your final piece but make sure not to rush anything as quality is more important than quantity! X

  • @christinearnold-green8540

    Hello Lia, again. When you copy a picture and enlarge it do you scale up using a grid system - or do you do it all by eye please? Keen to learn, even at 64! Thanks for yr attention.

    • @LiaSophie
      @LiaSophie  Před 5 lety +1

      A bit of both really! Sometimes I will start with a grid to get a rough layout, but I tend to use eye mostly!

    • @LiaSophie
      @LiaSophie  Před 5 lety +1

      Those are exactly the same GCSEs I did!! I was also told it would be hard to juggle and it definitely was difficult at times, but you just need to stay on top of all your work and don't let yourself slip behind and you'll be fine! It only really got stressful around deadlines x

    8:25 - on drawing from direct observation - how do examiners know you did this and that you weren't working from photographs? I find it loads easier to work from photos (my own), than from direct observation. I'm not proud of this btw!! Lel.

    • @LiaSophie
      @LiaSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Hiya, I'm exactly the same as you and I really didn't enjoy doing direct observation as I found it so difficult! I guess the examiner wouldn't be able to be sure if you used photographs or not but I always state if i have done a piece from direct observation. You don't need to show a lot of this, the majority of the time working from photos is absolutely fine- especially as you say you use your own which is amazing! But I would suggest even having just a double page of drawing from direct observation just to show you can do it and you could always make them more abstract on purpose if you are worried about proportions etc.
