What can i do as a final peice for my Art GCSE?

Question

i am doing extreme weather, and the exam boards have given some details of what to include in the project e.g.

Wind,sleet and snow, thunder and lightening, cloudy skies, protective clothing, wind blown, frost, driving rain, hurricane, tornado, heat wave, flood or drought, icicles, hail, blistering heat, global warming.

i am completely blank on ideas, and i desperately need a really good idea for a final peice!!

p.s. if you can try not to say stuff like do something that is important to you or anything like that!!

Answer 1

A tornado coming towards a house and draw some people with the hands on there head running towards an attick of some sort outside the house. Then you could have thunder corrupting with the tornado in the back ground...

Good luck with your Gcses  =]

Answer 2

If I were given that topic, I'd do something contradictory.

Extreme weather doesn't have to be literally that. It could stand for someone's emotions, too.

Perhaps I would show, in my final work, a person red-hot and angry in a blistering snowstorm.

Also take into consideration that different ways of representation (installation, illustration, etc) can carry the message more effectively, and perhaps seem more impressive as well.

Very good luck to you!

Answer 3

i have no idea if this would be artistic, but you could write and draw a children's book, showing the art for each weather condition,

including art of what each weather god or goddess should look like.

again, don't know if it would count as art, but you could make an animated Powerpoint presentation whether each slide of a weather condition fades into the next condition ( in some sort of meaningful order) until the last page,  with global warming shows the earth with continental outlines now and then the water rising, changing the continental shapes.

You know, if there were a giant solar flare on one side of the earth ( lasting only a few seconds) your art, story, or animation

would have to use all those weather conditions to explain what would happen  at various places on earth. It might be cool.

Larry Niven has a short story about this.

I think it is called "Inconstant Moon."

(if you don't want to do a ton of weather research.)

Answer 4

You could try painting of extreme weather/ its effects, or drawings or whatever, or both. Or you could use a canvas and create almost a 3D painting, building up bits you want highlighted with paper mache, and painting over/ drawing using biro and pencil. Or you could partition it to show different types of extreme weather, like the four seasons type thing. That's just an idea, hope it helps.

Answer 5

i like the umbrella idea, but right now i worry about global warming and about drought related famine. so if i were given this assignment, i would probably do it sort of abstract, with warmed neutral colors, included some textures of crackle to suggest dried earth, add some sand to some of the paint, paint in some dried out plants and bones, and possibly include some actual bones and driftwood. the hardest part would be to say it in a unique way...not cliche. i'm not sure whether i would try to show an actual landscape or not.

Answer 6

Get an old umbrella and take the fabric off.

Take photos or find pictures of broken umbrella's after a storm in the street/park/whatever. Collage them.

Print it either on fabric (not sure of your budegt) or on paper and make a new cover for the umbrella. If it is paper, you'll need to lacquer it so it doesn't break.
