The first period was basically an introduction about what we were going to do during this course. Our teacher (Miss Barker) told us about the coursework and how it worked. Moreover, she also showed us the marking scheme and the standards we have to achieve to be able to obtain high marks. She explained briefly about the IB Visual Arts course where we will be taking in Year 11 if we choose to. She told us about the difference between the Standard and High levels, the expectations, workbooks, studio works and mostly about how we have to be highly dedicated and patient. By the end of the period, we covered a few of the methods used to create art. Including, modeling, photography, drawing, street art, painting, collage, etc...
The second period was spent by drawing from observation. Each table was given an empty flask of perfume, each of them having unique shapes and forms. The objective of this drawing was for the the teacher to be able to assess our drawing skills and abilities. Fortunately, they were not marked for a grade as I did poorly.
In conclusion, our first Art lesson was a introduction to our next weeks of coursework. I learnt that I need to improve my drawing skills and to stop making hairy lines as they consider it lack of confidence.
