Chances are pretty high that the mark you get for your internal assessment will be different to the mark the examiners give you.
Also- even if you are given a really high mark by the examiners, you won't necessarily be nominated for art express. They have to consider things like how fragile your BOW is, and whether or not it could be moved around easily....

Actually the teachers at my school have never ever been off the mark by about 1-2 marks as we have three actual markers.
And I know all that about Art Express already. It's only been drilled into my head since year 9... and then by about 1053853 hsc art students.. gawsh.

its the same at our school too...usually the internal mark is not far off (but not always exactly) the actual mark. our school had four people mark them to try to find the fairest mark.....

they dont necessarily pick ones with high marks to put into art express

i think they would prefer a more unique idea rather than mark

usually a unique idea expressed in a sophisticated manner achieves that high mark :p

i think about 5 teachers at our school marked ours, they wouldn't give us our marks back and im not sure how accurate they are but anyway...

ive heard 45+ is a minimum to be put aside for art express, after that they consider the exhibitions their making (i.e. what themes they want to use) and if you get lucky you get a letter

i'm so confused. the internal mark is based upon something completely different to the criteria of which the BOS markers use isn't it? i.e. the internal mark has more to do with process/progress etc whereas the BOS markers put more of an emphasis on coherence, conceptual strength and aesthetically appealing properties.

i wouldn't think that they'd consider a 45 cut-off mark to consider for art express since they're going to have to mark all the artworks that are submitted regardless of their internal mark.

but i could be wrong! :-S

nothing dude, it's just an exhibition. excuse to bring your dutch aunty all the way from the motherland to see her nephew's debut, even if she's very old and indecipherable and hilarious, etc.

Sorry i meant a cut-off mark of 45 for the external examination. i.e. whatever scores 45+ usually is 'put aside' and considered seperately with all the works that have been 'put aside' in the state from which they make the exhibitions...

At my school we've only got two art teachers and only ones marked before, he said 43 and higher this year. Is this right or is it just a stupid country school thing?:confused:

My art teacher has marked HSC for the last ten years and he said that the min mark needed to be considered for ART EXPRESS was 38/50. But obviously if it's at the lower end of the spectrum it's going to need to have a pretty damn interesting concept!
