The only thing that divides man’s life from man’s death is the amount of money that he has, and the only reason for this is that he made his living doing something that brings him pleasure in his spare time. The Mixed Media ABE Exam Helps Online was written by Edmon and Maggie Woods of the Woods, which is an accredited UK-based testing company, specializing in passing the BMAA test. This online resource was created for high school students, or perhaps middle schoolers, and it should be used by anyone taking the exam.
We know from the name of the book, that it is a collection of mixed media material that was created to help prepare students for the exam. The article-articles are primarily about two types of subjects; first, about making the art, and second, about writing and drawing assignments.
These articles are valuable in that they go into a lot of detail about the Japanese painting called the “Maori,” as well as the techniques that are used to paint it. We also find that there are pictures and drawings of various types of Maori arts, but it is important to realize that these arts were not all created the same way. There is plenty of research behind this resource, and it was certainly worth my while to read through it.
The articles are also divided into four chapters; the first four chapters are about Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, and Composing. In Chapter one, there is information about each of these subjects. And, in Chapter two, there is information about all of these subjects, as well as information about the mixing of various materials. Finally, in Chapter three, there is information about three primary areas of study; artistic expression, studying, and methods of using those materials.
In Chapter one, there are a sample question, as well as information about answering a question, how to write a question, the kinds of questions students are asked, how the materials were tested, and information about the types of material that would be discussed in the paper. If you think about it, this is an excellent opportunity to review some of the main points that you need to know, because everything is laid out right there for you to see, and that can be very helpful.
In Chapter two, there is a second sample test, and again, everything is laid out for you to see, and that can be very helpful. When you come across the “Definitions of Terms” section, there is also information that will help you answer these questions, so it really does give you a good idea of what to expect in the classroom.
As far as writing assignments, this is where you get to see what kind of questions you will be asked, and this will serve as a potential method of instruction. I think that it is very helpful to know what the questions are going to be before you even sit down to write them. It is always difficult, especially when it is your first assignment, but I would definitely encourage you to read through it and go over the definitions of terms in the answers.
For me, the most difficult part of this type of assignment is figuring out the specifics of the particular task that you are trying to accomplish. You will find that there are many different kinds of art, so even if you do not think that you understand every word, you will soon find that the topic that you are writing about is very broad. In Chapter four, there is information about creating a work of art that you might want to practice, and it is especially useful to have this information at hand.
Chapter five focuses on the essay portion of the Mixed Media Examination and discusses the role that the examiner plays in your preparation. As with anything that you are exposed to, the more you are able to use, the information. I personally found that I had some difficulties with this chapter, but, I certainly did not realize that until I had already been working on my essay for a week.
