GCSE art exam recommendations?

[Zoe]

For my final exam I am considering doing a fragmented portrait containing snippets of books, newspapers, quotes, patterns, ext. However, I'm not sure what materials to use. I don't have much experience with anything other than pencils and block paint and I want to do something different for a change. I was going to use a canvas with oil paint but I'm not sure that it would for fading. I've also considered using oil paints and acrylics but I'm not sure if they'd work on a canvas.

What would you recommend?

Acrylics work fine on a canvas. I used them for my GCSE art exam piece and it went fine. Good luck!

Your idea sounds great! Personally I'd go for gouache because it's easy to ad lots of detail and that's what the examiners are looking for; if you prefer acrylic or oil then either should work fine, it's just that if you're using the paint provided by school then the paint might not be great quality, and personally, I think there's nothing worse than working with bad quality acrylic. It's up to you though! Try testing out whatever you like on some paper and seeing which works best for you.
