Hi how goes it?

Fine, and how goes it with you? We confess we hav'nt celbrated St Pats day for a while. Did you get apporpriately blathered for the occassion?

no fraid not had to concentrate on my Art, got my exam in a week

What Art Exam and what are you doing for it? Ceramics, Silk Screen, Sculpture, Painting. Whatever it is, good luck to you we're sure it will be fine.

Ta, it'll be a painting I think

Have you got the theme and composition sorted as yet?

The theme is Transformations, I've chosen to do Urban Transformation, but I haven't sorted the composition yet eepp

Thought of a mixed media approach ? Contrasting textures and finishes. Overlays of colour. Alegorical Construct perhaps.

I'm doing mixed media actually

We expect you've done the deed, so how did it go

I remember creative work under exam conditions left me feeling deflated and needing to do more, so I reworked the pieces afterwards, in my own time and regarded the exam as a thing.

Then I went out and had a few 's to over.

I always felt that creative assessment should be done solely on the body of work with exam moderators randomly monitoring over the period of the course.

So is that it, or is there more????

I haven't begun yet, I start at 2PM today, till 4PM then 2m from 1-5PM, Wednesday 9-11AM then 9-2PM on Thursday and thats it.

So how did it go? I bet your glad it's over, so you can get back to the less compelling stuff of life.

So what are you going to do with the rest of the year?

Anymore painting? Have you tried photography or Digi art?

We use Paintshop Pro and Photo Express. Along with watercolours to create a range of images and effects. Makes for a lot of fun discovering new stuff.

cool, it went well, now its done, I've got to get my books uptodate and work on my unfinished bits
