Well i'm currently finishin year 12 ^_^ and part of it was to make an artwork for...well...art. i love robots and toys and all of that so i incorporated them in to my artwork instead of doing a mundane depressing artwork which always gets the marks, but i know you guys will apreciate it...as aposed to my teachers :rolleyes:
my concept was about a robot called melvin and a cupie doll who are in love. i gave my cupie doll a make over and made my own lil robot out of bits and pieces. i took them out and took photos of them as though they were out on a date. i then made a larger robot as part of the artwork, the little robot was just for the photos. on one canvas i painted a portrait of miss cupie doll and on the other canvas i made it look as though melvin the robot had kept a diary about their date....below are the results...

and this is what it looks like all together! (with me lurking in the darkness)

these are some of the photos i took of them out on their dates. it was so funny seeing peoples reactions of a girl setting up a robot and a doll and taking their photo "wat da faaaaaark" some girl said.

anyways thats the end, hope you liked! and sorry if the photos are a lil on the large side
if you would like to see the date photos on a larger scale then visit my fotolog at www.fotolog.net/phazerkid

Well done! i love the cartoons on the side of this one (y) i gave up art in yr 11 cause i could see it would have been too stressful. teachers are too damn restrictive. i wanted to do cartoons or some computer-based art and since all they knew was pottery and painting they kept telling me what they wanted me to do.
good luck with it! very different and original (y) might see you in artexpress!

thanks everyone for your lovely responses, it makes me feel better about the mark i got for it! to answer your question mike i got 34/50 :(
which is pretty dispointing considering it is ALL my work and i put my heart in to it. some students got help from older brothers or sisters who are art students and therefore recieved better marks and also, teachers at my school have a thing for realistic painting and all that hoo haa. i know its a great talent to be able to paint that way, i just wish they would open their eyes to fun and new things!
nickhead: yeah my art teacher was pretty hesitant about my whole concept too...but he eventually warmed towards it...i think he realised i wouldnt change my mind :rolleyes: i hate it how they preach to you "ohhh art is what you want it to be!" but really, its what they want it to be

Wow these are all truly fantastic!!!! Very original, it's criminal that you didn't get higher, but it is still a good mark.

You should be exceptionally proud you have such a talent!!!!

I can't believe you got such a low mark. I love it! Especially the photo booth photos.

Art teachers generally suck and think that they are so much better than you.

Art at my school was graded on a 1 to 4 scale that I thought was pretentious bullshit.

That its a really great piece, though. very creative, and it shows you put a lot of time and effort into it. you get a 4

o man .. my art teacher.. i cant even go to art anymore - which sucks cause i wanna learn more about it . turns out he had a huge crush on my mom when they were in middle school together , she wouldnt go out with him tho.. something about him beeing a homosexual and trying to use my mom or somethin :mad: .. he found out who i was and was like " say hello to your mother for me " - then like gave me a dirty sick smile ..i flipped raight out. and now i cant go to his classes any more cause he doesnt give me fair marks :mad:

i hate it how they preach to you "ohhh art is what you want it to be!" but really, its what they want it to be

yeah i found they all seem to be the same. typically art teachers preach that art is about expressing yourself etc but then go and tell you what to do. like they're trying to make their own works of art through their students (n)

i have also found the majority of (school) art teachers are also much less talented than their students.

34/50 isn't THAT bad a mark. deserves more though.

Great work i really like it( i love the robot!). Don’t worry about your art teachers, most high school art teachers are the same. they want you to do what they want, but once you get into college the art instructors/professors are fucking awesome....well mine are :D

Very creative and kind of gutsy. At my school I would have gotten a 0-20 % on that (Just because it wasn't a more traditional peice of work).
Last year (grade 11) I got a final mark of 52% (Because of my horrible nazi teacher), But in grade 10 I got a final of 98% (I had a hippy art loving teacher then).
Nice work. I can do stuff like that again this year since I have the hippy again so I'm pretty excited. I get to start with making a photo of 2 swing dancers in black and white. *excited*
Good luck and keep up that unique work! :)

To all those concerned about poor grades and uncomprimising teachers, take my attitude and FUCK EM!

Even if they don't like your work then it doesn't matter because it will all go in your portfolio, and if it is good, strong work, and you like it, then you will be successful. Your portfolio is what gets you your job, not your grades (y)

yeah good point there actually. I'm gonna have so much fun making my portfolio :D
I understand what you mean about teachers opinions etc, but still its like a kick in the shins after all of your hard work and to have the teachers not appreciate it..

true, i think grading art is kind of a surreal concept anyway. picasso would have been given 25/50 for some of his stuff, or even less... were he not picasso.

art can't be right or wrong.

i say stuff stoopid grades and shove it in your portfolio. it's really original and interesting. (y)(y)

i give you six smilies, and three lighbulbs!
