100% IGCSE Art and Design: A comprehensive Coursework Project
Last Updated on April 2, 2023
This exceptional IGCSE Art Coursework Project is another from the high-achieving Art Department at ACG Strathallan College . Completed by the dedicated and conscientious Tarika Sabherwal, this sketchbook and final piece were awarded 100% and the highly sought after TOP IN THE WORLD placing for the 2011 CIE October examination session. Tarika achieved this result along with another student in her class, Tingjian He (Jim). Viewing these two projects together provides an invaluable learning opportunity for students and teachers alike, as it illustrates how a classroom-wide teaching programme can be used to successfully guide students to achieve outstanding original and creative work.
Tarika’s project consists of a twelve page A3 sketchbook, plus a final acrylic painting (approximately A3 in size). Her work explores a ‘Coastal Environment’ theme, depicting beach-related still life scenes, bones, fish, seedpods (harakeke flowers) shells, coastal landscapes, birds and traditional Maori carvings.
