Can you please show me some examples of c or b grade coursework in GCSE art?

Can you please show me some examples of c or b grade coursework in GCSE art? I'm thinking of doing art GCSE but don't know if I can achieve it or not. If I see the examples of c's and b's and think I can't achieve them then I'm not doing it. Please help!x

image.jpegSorry for the orientation, my computer seems to dislike me! This was done at the beginning of last year (Year 10 for me) using a stick and some ink. It is pretty fun if you ask me but then again I am probably going to do it as an A-level so :tongue:
EDIT: Forgot to say this was part of a B+/A coursework overall, I got an A in my mock so take from that what you will :tongue:

How did you not get an A*? That's incredible! What does the writing on the top say?

Well I was predicted a D/C so I thought I did pretty well :biggrin:

It means 'What shall we have next' I think :smile: or something similar, implying Hitler had Britain under his control. (As shown by swastikas for puppet string holders)

It's awesome! Not to mention it's deep meaning! My mock exam which we did before Christmas was about Movement so I did light graffiti around my friends who posed as if they were running/ falling over/ driving/ rowing. I was pretty proud of it if I do say so myself :tongue:

Thank you :smile: means a lot because I was never thought to be good at it :no:

Oh that's cool! You should have some photography if you can :awesome: like it you have a camera, have a long exposure and draw with light.

What grade did you get overall or are you in Year 11?

My final piece was really fun to do! I had never used Photoshop before so that was a learning experience XD

I'm hoping to do photography A-level.

You didn't get an A?! Shocking.

That's a lot better than my stuff.

Nope, I was genuinely heartbroken at the time :lol: I got a low A in my coursework and a B in my exam :sadnod: which is even more frustrating because I had to do my final exam piece in half the time you're allocated, so it was rushed!

Not at all, it's not even close :redface:

I would have been distraught if I was in your position :tongue:

That's unfair! I had 10 hours! I think I got low ish A in c/w and high ish A in exam.

That pencil one is awesome!!

Well it is copied, I chose Roy Lichtenstein as the artist to base my work off, I copied a few of his, and then used my sister as a model, took photographs, and did drawings of her in that style :tongue:
