i was told by someone who happens to be the dux of a private school that art is a bludge... what does everyone else think?
haii i stole your signature idea... lolQuestion: was this person actually a visual arts student?
then they shouldn't be making any comments.um he wasnt an art student in yr 9-12
If you wanted to pull the de stilj/minimalism card you do realise you would pretty much have to write a memoir to accompany it showing your understanding of the concepts? I know this as my year 12 art teacher did exactly this and did very well, you can't just go... yeah, heres a canvas with three lines, its de stilj, very conceptual... yeah, band 6 please?yes, art is a bludge because you read about some art theory + artists and do a 'major work' which can simply be a white canvas with a black sketch of a box – symbolising an aesthetic and metaphysical utopia through geometric congruity similar to cezanne or even de stilj
and there is your band 6 lol
you so cannot just learn the art syllabus and get a band 6 just like thatit doesn't matter if you are doing visual arts or not. you can learn the visual arts syllabus and get a band 6 with wikipedia rather than a textbook or notes.
don't get defensive if you are doing well in visual art and we call it easy/a bludge
Nah, the HSC visual arts theory syllabus is fucking easy as, it's a joke and in my opinion you really don't need to put in a lot of effort to do quite well in that aspect. I do agree about the the practical though.you so cannot just learn the art syllabus and get a band 6 just like that
one thing, u have to do a major which it is freaking hard to get over 45/50
then for the exam
if your a good writer then you will be ok, but you still need to learn exactly whta you are talking about in each question
man i hate people who say art is a bludge, if anything is a bludge its drama
but not really
completely agreeI would say HSC visual arts is a bludge if you are planning to just cruise along (c'mon guys, HSC art theory is piss easy and you know it). However, when it comes to the very highest marks i think it is incredibly tough as the calibre of the practical artwork at that level is just so high, if you don't have the talent you will get slaughtered.
Really? I don't agree with that.completely agree
i find that if you care about it its simple.
if you dont then it will be an effort and therefore not a bludge
having said that though, art has been my relief subject this year
it requires much less study time than say, modern, thats true
and the prac is fun
just choose it okay! haha
