Description The shoddy mock exam piece I did last year. It was rushed and not done very well, but I'm putting it in anyway.

Theme was Collections. It is a collection of maps pinpointing the places I went on holiday, a collection of images taken from photographs I took when on holiday, and also, screen prints of a collection of the things I brought when on holiday. Just an experimentation textile piece....

Oil paints, tissue-paper monoprint, prints of maps, oil pastels, etc..... on fabric.

Hiya I love this its really good i'm doing the same project for mine on Collections although its not for my mock exam unit but I just wondered which artists did you look at because its really hard to find on this topic. I've found a couple (Armand Fernandez, Mark Dion and some of damien Hirsts work) but just wondered if u knew of any others.

Cheers. I can see you've looked at Andy Goldsworthy already; if you wanted to pursue a textile/nature based theme, I'd check out Louise Bourgeois for her her textile and tapestry-related work [link] , Richard Long for his structural nature photography and Jim Dine for his practice of incorporating objects into his paintings. There were others, but I've forgotten them and my books are all at school. Hope it helps anyway.

I do, because in art, coursework counts as about 60% of your overall grade. And everything you do is coursework.
And thanks.... I might post the first project I did in Year 10 then. Now that was shoddy.

Hah hah! Poor sod.... I've had mine already. Finished the lot....

Though actually, it's really fun, when you don't panic like I did for my mock. You just bring masses of music and chocolate, sit there for ten hours and chat while you work. S'great.

*laughs* Cheers. I did it in the ten-hour frame thingy, but the mono-print took years and I panicked. You never know hoe a textile will turn out until you do it. S'why I wised up for the real thing and did a painting instead. Can't go far wrong with that.
