2C's Bean Art!

2C spent their Term 2 making this piece of Bean Art!
They have put in a lot of effort and had lots of fun making this artwork. It is not easy making this piece of work. It requires discipline, patience, determination, enthusiasm for and faith in the art in order for this project to bear fruit. So, I am very proud of 2C for having produced this beautiful piece of work as a class. For those who have put in extra effort during the production, I know who you are and I am appreciative of your efforts :)

Eventually, this Bean Art was sent to HortPark to be displayed in their LifeStyle Corner (a room that looks like the interior of a flat, with stylish furniture and wonderful plantlife). For those of you who do not yet know about HortPark, this is their website.
So, if you have time with your family, please visit the HortPark to see 2C's masterpiece!

Question: Do we need to do a final piece of drawing before the exams?

Answer:

You don't need to do your final design in acrylic paint or collage before the exams, but it is advised that you do because then you would have a good idea of how much time you need to complete your final work.

If you take more than 2 hours to finish it, then you will have to think of ways to work faster because if not you won't be able to finish it in your exam.

If you take only 1 hour to finish it, you should think of more interesting and complicated designs because then you can make full of your talents and the 2 hours in exam.

An example of a good Prep Work (For the theme of Botanic Garden)

Hey dear students!

This is an example of a good preparatory work done by a Sec 2 Teck Whyean from previous years.

This is to give you a better idea of the quality of work that is expected of you.

I have added in the appropriate headings and additional boxes for labeling at the right-hand corners to show you the basic required layout.

Of course, your theme is Recreating and Redesigning an Artist Work and not Botanic Garden. Also, your final artwork will be in acrylic paint or collage, not colour pencils.
But you can use can colour pencils in your prep work.
