How to get a 9/A*^ in GCSE Art ~ SKETCHBOOK TOUR

(WATCH THE LAST FEW MINS TO SEE THE BEST ART! I improved lots between the start of Year 10 and end of Year 11 hehe)

Hi everyone!!
As part of the GCSE videos I'm adding a tour of my very own GCSE sketchbooks. I scored 96% in my GCSEs (we were given the transcripts) and I want to share with you everything I did in both my sketchbooks and final pieces to secure a top grade.

Any questions let me know! Good luck to all of you with exams next month :)

Hi, thank you so much for sharing this😊 I’ve just started art gcse, do you have any tips for taking good photos to use? Your art is incredible ❤️

your pieces are so good consistently throughout, so how did you manage your time and maintain motivation? btw I'm in yr ten :)

How much work for the themes is necessary? I am looking back at my YR10 sketchbook and I think I hardly have enough photos or pages for each section. We did three in YR10 and i have around 14, 14 and 20 faces of a page for each section with around 3 drawings on them. My first page however is bad drawings that took only a minute or so to make. I feel like I haven't got enough

Hi I started year 11 a few days ago and this is pretty helpful :)

Do you have any advice on what to do when your art teacher doesn’t want to give the students sketchbooks? I’m a year 10 GCSE art student and I am really confused and kind of upset because I am aiming for a 9 but I don’t understand how I’m supposed to get a 9 when I don’t have a sketchbook to give me that 80% of my grade.

2:13 how do you get that background on the mushroom page?

Hello lovely work. Your finale art work is done at school or you can do it at home.

Going into year 11 in 3 weeks and I really need to crack down on what I’m doing. My teacher absolutely adores my work but I’m realising now I should have bought an A3 sketchbook and not stuck with the A4 I was given because I do so much my book is too thick and I can’t bring it anywhere. I also haven’t done any of my final pieces but I’m starting tomorrow! I just wish I wasn’t such a procrastinator. I’m also realising I’ve done absolutely nothing to show how I’ve gotten to my final pieces but I will add them in the back of my book to at least show how I’ve gotten there. I’m predicted an A* but I want it to stick.

When writing about your art, did you talk about meaning or just about the process and the why?
