My Secondary Art

I always complain that if I were to take Art as one of my module during my O levels, I would have scored better. Not that I care now but as I was packing my room, I looked at my secondary school's Art work and was amazed by some of them no matter how many times I look at it.

My mid year exam pieces

The topic I chose was festive occasion. Pretty easy one. You can draw about any festive occasions like Christmas, Chinese new year etc. Of course, I drew about Chinese new year because I know this topic too well. (hint: red packets)

We need to do preparatory work before the real exam itself. If I remember correctly, we were given like 1 month time to research and do out the preparatory stuff.



I decided to approach it with the mind map style. You know lah, this being Art module, you need to draw everything even when it comes to mind map.



Then we have to go in depth into the description. Many people fail Art because they don't know what to draw and then they will say "Must draw what arh???". Once they don't even try, it is the same as don't even know what to draw!

^By the way, this is my favourite of the lot!



I love Art exam because you are allowed to do funny things in the preparatory work months ahead before you do your final piece on the actual day itself. Doing the preparatory work well is enough to get you at least a B grade. The problem with us at that age would be our laziness and passion.

Even though I spelt the 'traditional' wrongly, I can any-o-how add in the 'o' as and when I like it. Unlike Mathematics, less 1 '0' is a big difference.



My final piece! Not that great but still good enough for distinction!



I think if I can re-do it now, I will do a better job than this 100 times!

My End of year exam pieces

If I am not wrong, I chose the topic, 'My family and I'. Yes, I know it's pretty boring so you have to make it interesting enough to draw!



Obviously, this mind map is better than the mid year one. Of course there must be improvements lah!



Nonsensical contents but fabulous drawing! :) (You can see that the teacher is pretending to mark the piece with pencil ticks)



More nonsense! Waste my magic markers ink lor. should have used crayons instead.



draft.



final piece.

Forgot the marks but I know I also got an 'A'.

Ok, if I have the time, I will show my trophies for running because nobody believe me when I told them that I am good at running!
