      the art needs to be of a particular standard as does you showing development and the way you think things through.

    Hi,thank you so much for the video it was really helpful.I also want to take A level art(i am currently in year 11)and i want to do architecture,however i'm not sure how to balance it with the other subjects i want to take which is maths and chemistry (the new A level only requires 3 subjects).Do you have any advice for me?Any advice will will be appreciated thank you

    • @MargaretBelle
      @MargaretBelle  7 лет назад

      Thanks for watching! I think it should balance just fine, it does require a lot of practical input as it's usually mostly coursework. But I don't think this should be an issue. If you genuinely enjoy doing art I don't see why you shouldn't keep at it, and so doing art it means you're constantly producing work that could be used for your portfolio whereas if you didn't you;d have to make a conscious effort to produce work in your own time. Much love, feel free to hit me up if you've any more questions :) xx

    • @insiyahuzaifa9972
      @insiyahuzaifa9972 7 лет назад +1

      I would really appreciate if you could make a video as you could explain in a much better way.. I'd like to know about the workshops, what basics you need to know, how good you have to be at art, just everything basically....

    • @MargaretBelle
      @MargaretBelle  7 лет назад

      So sorry I haven't replied sooner! I've got a back log on videos to put up but I'll film a 'how I got into architecture school' video as well as updates on the years 1 + 2 I've completed so you can get an idea of what you might be getting into. Does that sound good? xx

    Im doing Alevel art in september, our highschool for gcse made A2 boards where we would mount our work rather than have a sketchbook. Do you think thatll put me at a lil disadvantage as ive never structured it that way (im predicted grade 9 and my last moderation before lockdown got full marks on all the Assesment objectives)

    • @MargaretBelle
      @MargaretBelle  4 года назад +1

      hello, that's absolutely fine I don't think that will put you at a disadvantage at all. in fact it might make the process of getting a portfolio together for applications easier. good luck and we'll done on that predicted grade! much love 😊 x

      Margaret Belle thank you for answering my question! I'm planning to also do architecture and I thought you had to have maths and physics to apply to unis???

  • @georgewainwright9384
    @georgewainwright9384 7 лет назад +2

    I was wondering is the layout of the sketchbook similar to the Alevel sketchbooks?x

    • @MargaretBelle
      @MargaretBelle  7 лет назад

      Hi George I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Unlike sketchbooks for personal use there's usually some key things and an order that is preferred only so you can communicate your development clearly to the examiner. But I think this varies depending on schools and teachers themselves. Hope that helps of not do let me know! Much love 😊 xx

    • @georgewainwright9384
      @georgewainwright9384 7 лет назад

      +Margaret Belle sorry.... I meant are the sketchbooks in a level like Gcse; for instance do we have to do artist research first... then primary... and then secondary and then finally designs.. thanksx

    • @MargaretBelle
      @MargaretBelle  7 лет назад

      George Wainwright that's fine! it's similar but a bit different. We would be a bit more free with the subject matter and begin with brainstorming around the theme then narrowing down ideas. Then research that doesn't necessarily have to link with and artist but that's important too. Independent primary research is important like going to exhibitions, doing photoshoots etc. Then the artists and experimentation comes in informed by all the sophisticated research to help develop your work to the final piece. Hope that makes sense. The idea is to add a level of finesse, sophistication and more credibility to the work you produce.

    • @humaira9267
      @humaira9267 4 года назад

      because we are in quarantine, do you have any paint with you if you do try painting everyday that's how i improved cuz I am currently in year 11 and in year 10 I wasn't great at painting. I used use water to blend the acrylic when you shouldn't use water as it gets quite hmm... how do I explain it like it becomes rough and I still am very bad at watercolour even my art teacher says so that's why she says to me to avoid watercolours and so throughout the year when I was in year 10 I found that I was good at acrylic and oil paint so these are my top picks when it comes to painting. Take this quarantine to improve your painting skills, watch artists paint and see how they hold their brushes and their strokes.
