defo make sure you plan what you're going to say so that you can structure your answer as methodically as possible e.g going from left to right or focusing on colour then medium etc.

Yess same well done!! I feel like it went okay, but the essay question for the nature section — something with patronage… I don’t know what that is 💔 so I just yapped about how paintings aren’t all understanding but rather feeling you know 😭

I loved that paper icl. I thought the VA sculpture and architecture were amazing. I was really lucky that my friend and I planned what we would do for a patronage nature question 10 min before cause she predicted it
