hey i did my gcses in may/june and got an A* for art. and for my mock i got an A. .............basically i did the flowers question (botanical illustration) i started off with a brainstorm of wot i would do eg drawings visits etc......start off with sketches of flowers plants etc. and do prime observation and take a pic of the plant and stick it in for evidence.......from these sketches u can photocopy them and play around with them eg differnt colour scheme...........complementary... secondary etc

u also need artist reseacrh i did.......margaret ursala mee, georg d ehret, georg o'keefe, francis and ferdinand bauer, pierre joseph redoute and u could also do william morris but i didnt have time too.

also do atleast one copy of their work preferably in their style to show u understand their technique. and try to take photos or do work in their style to show u were inspired by them. this then shows a connection. eg geroge d ehret did paintings of palm trees so i took a photo of palm tree and painted it in his style to show i was inspired by him.

then u could do ur initial ideas and say which artist u were inspired by them eg a drawing/painting of a zoomed in flower could be inspired by gergi o keefe. or a repeat pattern could be inspired by william morris as he did wall paper u could collect samples of wall paper from diy shops to show u did research.

last but not least.......try out ur chosen idea on different surfaces and styles and colours for development.... eg i tried out on A4 canvas, wood etc.........even though i knew wot i wanted to do from the begining u still have to do this lol hopes it helps
