Whether specialising in Painting, Graphic Design, Photography, textiles or Sculpture, most high school Art students begin by selecting a topic for their Coursework or Examination project. One of the most crucial decisions an IGCSE, GCSE or A Level Art student has to make is what subject or theme they will spend the year exploring. It is a decision that many find difficult, whether due to a lack of inspiration, an inability to discern between two or more possible ideas or a general misunderstanding about the type of topic that is appropriate. This resource contains a step-by-step guide that students can use to brainstorm, evaluate and select (in conjunction with advice from their teacher) an outstanding topic for their high school Art project.

How to Create Excellent Observational Drawing: 11 Tips for High School Art Students
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource contains a list of tips that have been written specifically for high school art students who are looking to improve the realism of their observational drawings. It is for those who have already selected something appropriate to draw and who understand how to compose a drawing well.

Observational drawing is an integral component of IGCSE, A Level Fine Art or Painting and Related Media courses. For many students, drawing is the core method of researching, investigating, developing and communicating ideas. While it is accepted that there are many wondrous types of drawings - and that non-representational drawing methods have an important role in student art projects – it is usually advantageous to demonstrate competent, realistic observational drawing skills to the examiner (particularly in the early stage of a project).

International GCSE Art Sketchbook Examples
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

The A3 sketchbook examples shown in this blog post were created by Amiria Robinson and her sister Heather Garland, prior to Amiria's first year of teaching IGCSE Art and Design (the International equivalent of GCSE Art, assessed by Cambridge University). Amiria employed Heather to work for her
during the Christmas holidays and together they created sketchbook pages that could be used to inspire and guide Amiria's students. She needed physical Painting and Related Media Coursework examples that her students could learn from. The sketchbook pages you see here are based a Coastal Environment theme: the exploration of natural forms, such as shells, plants and seascapes.

Line Drawing: A Guide for Art Students
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This article contains exercises for Art students who wish to produce contour line drawings, cross contour drawings, blind drawings and other types of line drawings. It is a teaching aid for high school Art students and includes classroom activities, a free downloadable PDF worksheet and inspirational artist drawings.

When we first picked up a pen or pencil and started making marks on paper, we began with line. Whether self-taught, through trial and error, or guided by others, we learned how line defines form, creates structure, divides a frame, traces contour, creates tonal variation (cross-hatching, for example) and leads the eye from one part of a work to another. Initially a mechanism for getting outlines onto paper – identifying edges – we begin to applaud lines for their own merit: celebrate their presence...whether a quiet flick of charcoal on paper or a streak of graphite.
