GCSE Art Coursework Topics? Help!?

Question

Okay, so I need to do an Art Unit, and I need some ideas. I want to steer away from Pop Art and Photography though, because at my school it's really overused. Also, nothing to do with Anime, or Japan. Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

Look at some real artists like Giorgio Morandi, Alberto Giacometti, Paul Cezanne, William Scott, Philip Guston. If you can come even a little bit close to emulating these artists you will be doing fine.

Answer 2

What do you like drawing?

Do that.

I chose Portraits. I have an A* now.

Answer 3

e.g. I did a unit of work on paul kidby, he is the illustrator for the terry pratchett books, and he often takes traditional drawings and tampers with them.

Answer 4

At my school the teachers set the topics we did:

Recycling

African Art

Conflict

For each topic we did a sketchbook and a final piece
