gcse art 2024 finals

For the theme 'celebrations' I'm not sure of what else could be used. It says to interpret it ourselves or use a prompt, but all I can really think about is religious or cultural celebrations and just like birthdays and weddings. Some help please? I am tamil so I could do a celebration of tamil culture one but really, i dont think that enough events are happening for me to go and take pictures and annotate and prepare a final piece all by march or april

Hi @priceydoritos

I think you've got the great foundations for your project with thinking about a celebration, especially if you focus on one relevant to you. Adding a personal touch can help you get more research and also helps you feel more involved in your work.

If you're still unsure, maybe you can dig a little deeper. Try searching online for connotations or synonyms of "celebrations" to see if there are any other words that spark some ideas. When I read your post, I though about Celebrations - the chocolates! So maybe you could take it down a food study/still life route? Or think of celebrations like you mentioned above...maybe birthdays, and you could look at your own birthday celebrations year by year as a project on how you've aged, or grown up?

Hopefully these examples might have inspired you a bit more! And to realise that it's okay to also delve a little bit deeper or take a different outlook on the exam brief.

Best of luck!
