Fair enough. I wonder if the majority of the candidature will have done so well with the rather straightforward questions that a band 6 cut off would be above 90%. Would this even be possible? Btw dirty_ink, what did you do for your major? Haven't seen any BoWs beyond my own class (of around...

I had two quotes for Goya, one for Xu Bing, and some paraphrased audience reactions for Kiefer (albeit I don't believe these were specific enough, because I didn't mention who the audiences were or from what exhibition). I have no idea if quotes are too integral, though. No idea about the band...

Hey again, Just finished my VA exam. Would markers penalise you excessively if you, in the heat of the moment, failed to explicitly mention form i.e "installation", "mixed media", right before the title just as you would when identifying a text in English? I have no idea why I forgot, but my...

Sounds good! Don't think I'll do particularly well for the essay because I just realised that in the heat of the moment, I forgot to mention the form of each artwork after my Kiefer paragraph, so I missed out on mentioning things like 'mixed media', 'installation' etc but form was only alluded...

Thank you! And yes haha "lots of fruit" is one way to describe Q2. As for the cultural frame, couldn't that be applied to Q2 as well? I assumed it was a frames question so I spoke about cultural for all three plates but postmodern for the very last. Then again it was a bit of "world" as well...

The plates were fun but I screwed up the first question. Totally had to BS about diversity of nature, volcanic eruptions, two/three dimensional artist intentions for the audience, vibrancy of fire/nature, beautiful/destructive dichotomy of nature shown through contrast, meticulous balance, but I...

Hi everyone, I'm just a little bit confused about how marks would be aligned. The subject in particular is visual arts. My aim for my end HSC mark is 94. I'm in 2nd place with 93, and 1st place is at 94/95. Say for example he got 91 externally, and I achieved 94. Would my new internal...

I love the way you've structured your essay. That will no doubt pay well in dividend! :) And lol more like 47 raw for you!

Edited for a bit of elaboration. Romanticism here. So many of us in this thread. The essay question was surprisingly straightforward, and therefore so was my essay. Not too many variables unlike past questions. My paragraphs went Keats (Ode on a Grecian Urn) > Blake (Angel of the Revelation)...

Thank you!

Are you like gauging your competition, or something?

I remember contacting you last year, after the first wave of assessments for year 12. I was having a rant about how obnoxiously competitive and neurotic I was, to the extent that I was blinded by success and considered jeopardising my friendships in the name of ambition. You told me to value the...

Hi strawberrye, I was wondering if you could still apply the postmodern frame (i.e subverting conventions as norwegianwood stated above) to artists working prior to the postmodern period, even back to the 19th century i.e Edouard Manet?

That's exactly what I meant. That sounds completely valid, and yes, I do hope we score well for it! Can't bring myself to study for English - for some reason the exam was really tiring. As for marks... Hm... Perhaps 47/48 raw? I'd be set with that. It's my "11th unit" so I never really...

The markers will take u with me wheeler!! When I saw you viewing this thread I was like oh shit someone I know knows how OCD I am

I know I'm like really late (I only just discovered the wonder of these general thoughts threads) but I wonder if anyone could confirm the validity of these ideas? A (Frankenstein/Blade Runner) - Scientific/intellectual recognition (virtually ambition); emotional recognition (creature's desire...

Thank you for your response. All seems to be well, just need to cross reference my MC with your suggested answers, but I've forgotten what the questions are.

O thank God. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of discriminator, but 5 marks really doesn't warrant a line of argument like that. I'm glad that someone else refuted it, so to speak. What were your reasons for secularism, though? For some reason I don't even remember this as an...

Multiple choice was straightforward as expected. I had to BS my way through the 5 marker, I didn't exactly know whether a line of argument was inappropriate for it. A lot of detail + scope was demanded from 5 markers internally, so I argued that the stimulus, while one valid aspect of the...

HAHAHA fancy seeing u here right after the maths exam
