From the day i chose this subject, i knew that it can be very subjective and because of this, it may effect your results.
But i really want to know, exactly how do HSC markers mark your BOW?
At my school, the art staff give ur work an assessment mark out of 50 and a rank. And they do so by more or less COMPARING the artworks as they marked one after another while every single one was on display.
For one thing, i can't understand how they can possibly compare artworks of a completely different media... like say digital media and drawings or something
Ok fine... they compare alright. But what sort of criteria do they follow? Do they even analyse the techniques used, the skill u've shown and the way u developed ur consept and all that??? Cos it seems to me that they only based it on the actual SIZE in my school.... like some pictures found on the net were edited on photoshop in a couple of hours n then printed out on giant A1 boards (new photoshop user's last minute work) would get a higher mark than someone who who spent the whole year on really detailed sketches of people (i mean really PEOPLE) and architectural buildings (and i mean Architechtral) on relatively smaller pieces of paper. like WTF?
Seriously..... what is the marking criteria like for actual HSC marking?
Do they compare with other artworks? Is something thats BIGGER necessarily better than a smaller piece?
i think i've totally lost it.... i'm so confused n lost n pissed off that i couldnt help but think that art is cruel
