Last Week Monday to Wednesday was my Matric Finals ART Practical Examination for 2009.
I had chosen to do photography instead of Fine Art Mediums as it was introduced this year into the syllabus (Very Lucky - For Me)

[I'm only posting my final pieces now because other schools only did their exam this week]

The theme for this year's exam was: Reveal and Conceal
You could do either or both.

I chose to do three sub-categories and incorporated both Reveal AND Conceal in each category. (Everyone else did one piece - due to the fact that Fine Arts is much more time consuming)

My three sub-categories were:
Reveal / Conceal Identity, Reveal / Conceal Sexuality, Reveal / Conceal Personality

Identity

Sexuality

Personality

Reveal / Conceal Personality is about a man.
A man who's found a new trend and has introduced it to new people.
People start following this man's trend.
His trend dies, people mock him because he's still with his trend.

This is commonly seen among teenagers and teenage schoolkids. A very good example of this "trend" would be the EMO scene - although not completely dead, but mocked.
