Preparation and Final Exam Pieces for GCSE Art & Design



Preparation and Final Exam Pieces

The top piece is a quick and loosely marked painting of The Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris, otherwise known as the Sacre Coeur. The painting is based on a photograph taken while on holiday there in 2011, and I intended for the piece to be in a similar style to Guy Denning's work, notably the chaos seen in the painting titled 'Vanity Fair', which was the main inspiration for my GCSE Art & Design final piece.

The bottom painting of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is the final piece for my GCSE exam, which although is slightly more refined as a painting, still follows the inspiration set by 'Vanity Fair' and other pieces by Guy Denning. The overall theme for this piece was the destruction of buildings and how important they are to us as landmarks and points of mental and physical refuge.
