What could I do to improve this GCSE art piece?
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e366/x…
The background is a light wash of pinkish ink with slight brown hues (hasn't come out very well colourwise) on good quality paper. The spider's web and the body of the dragonfly is done in pencil and the wings are pencil with gold pen traced over the lines.
I have no idea what I can do to get more marks for this picture. It's my final art piece in my Natural Forms project so it's worth quite a lot of my grade. If you know anything about marking GCSE art, I would find it incredibly helpful if somebody could try and grade it for me. My teacher's already marked it but I would appreciate another opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Your image link says it's been moved or deleted, but I did GCSE Art & Design myself when I was at school, and did a little research on this year's marking criteria for you. I found this:
http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/newgcse/pdf/AQA-42022-W-SQP.PDF
It's an AQA 2009 Art & Design exam paper, and one of the prompts is 'Natural Forms'. It has details at the top of the second page about how your work will be marked and what they're looking for.
Basically, the final piece is only a small part of what they mark. Most of what your grade is based on is your prep work. As long as you've explored the topic thoroughly, looked at relevant artists and learned something from them, your final piece should be fine. It just has to show that everything you studied about the topic has sunk in!
Your piece sounds lovely, by the way. Hope it all goes well for you!
