but what u have to remeber is... 43 is 86% that's a pretty high mark in most peoples books

Thanks for the link ...and yeah it seems that they must have gone wrong somewhere with that estimation seeing that:

Those Bodies of Work receiving 43 or more out of a possible 50 marks are then considered for inclusion in ARTEXPRESS. This year there were approximately 470 works in the selection pool. Particular criteria now become important and care is taken to select works representing both government and non-government schools from across New South Wales. The final selections reflect the range of media submitted and must work as a coherent exhibition across the various venues.

hmm...i should check it out tomorrow...

Not in mine...actually, for art yes it is way higher than I am expecting. But for everything else, it's not that high.

470 works?? this year is double that!.. so twice as hrd to get in

 

[Choctop]

Couple of queries, would be awesome if anyone could answer them :

- how many students in the state do art?
- how many students of the 800 get selected for ArtExpress?

WOOOOP! Got phone call from Art teacher this morning...got pre-selected! Totally stoked and over the moon...

Now there is the waiting game of whether it makes the cut or not...

Congrats to all others who got preselected...and for those who did not, I'm sure that your works are still totally RAD and received excellent marks.

Edit: I'll post up the first of my works when I get home. The second one is in the Major Work thread somewhere. I have to go sit my Drama exam now. Hehehehe.

Selection mark in 2003 was 43. Selection mark in 2004 raised to 45. Too many works in 2003 to manage so mark raised in 2004.

Works marked at 45 or higher by all 4 markers. Schools limited to maximum of 4 students I think.

 

[soso]

family friend is on non-teaching staff at marking

 

[Jase]

They sure did raise the stakes heaps... that means it's getting better and better all the time.

 

[timrie6]

so does that mean anyone who didn't get in art express got under 45.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

yea.. but that IS 90.
I still think u should of got in....I'm sorry if i got ur hopes up, i honestly thought u would.

 

[timrie6]

great. goodbye decent uai. i was relying on art.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

yea i kinda... doubt they'd do that..

 

[Skillo]

great. goodbye decent uai. i was relying on art.

Some works aren't sent away for pre-selection do to them being fragile and could be damaged during transport. I know this happen to a girl at my dad's school 2 years ago. Series of ceramic sculptures...beautiful...the markers said...it would've been 3 for pre-selection....but the ceramic one wouldn't handle the transportation... :uhhuh:

Still time to get a letter for those marked on site at school.

Now is the time to concentrate on the written and getting a portfolio to gether for art school interviews.

If you didn't get in art express at least you will have access to your VAPDs
