GCSE art- HELP!!
I have three weeks to complete my component 1 for art gcse
Bit of background to explain my mindset- my class has not had a proper art teacher for the last two years of learning (we've had five different teachers) so we have not done anything towards our first project we were meant to have finished in yr10.
As a result i have the christmas holidays to finish my portraiture project. I am not a fan of portraiture but i'm trying to make do and am thinking of experimenting with collage as it will be quicker and easier to do in my limited time.
For a small mental image - my main idea is a photo of a person but cut out the face part and replace it with eyes in different mediums etc
The rest remains to be seen. But basically social commentary on judgement from others 🧐
I might be going a bit deep with this.
My question is, is this enough? Is collage an ok medium to actually get me a good grade or is it too simplistic?
Would anyone have any other reccomendations?
Any advice is appreciated, thankyou!

hi, its less about what you do moreso the range of mediums over all (throughout the GCSE) you use and the consistency your themes have, like a clear line of thinking throughout sort of thing. also good to show initial ideas and how you've developed and changed them. less about the final thing, more about the journey there i guess? idk art was lowkey a nightmare of a GCSE but i hope ive been of some help

Hi @rich-fester,
A collage sounds like a great idea - have you worked with collage before? It's usually good to show development throughout your GCSE work; doing some test collages in your sketchbook would be a good way to show your throught process and would explain your choice of medium for your final project. You could also show your test collages to your current art teacher for any advice or feedback before the holidays start.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your portraiture project!
