Leaving Certificate exam paper: Art History

In recent years, the Leaving Certificate exams have seen adjustments by the State Examinations Commission due to a reduction in teaching hours as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Exams are subject to change again in the coming years, so it is important that students are aware of what to expect. In this article, you will understand to the best of our knowledge what to expect from the upcoming Art History examination, how to find and use reliable revision resources, including revision guides, practice questions and mark schemes.

  • Art Leaving Certificate exam adjustments

Studying for Leaving Cert Art History

Art leaving certificate study materials, frequently asked questions, the art leaving certificate exam.

The recent exam adjustments have may only impact your Art History written paper so speak to your teacher about any specific adjustments for your year group. The Art History paper has historically consisted of three sections:

  • Section I: Art in Ireland
  • Section II: European Art 1,000AD - Present
  • Section III: Appreciation of Art

Students will have a broad choice of questions in the examination however; in order for candidates to demonstrate their understanding of the syllabus, they will be required to answer questions from different sections of the exam paper. You must check with your teacher or the State Examinations Commission on how many answers you will be required to give. This may vary from year to year as assessment arrangements change.

You will be required to write an essay in response to each question. You will not be required to answer any short-answer questions. However, you will need to demonstrate your understanding of key terminology, definitions, and historical context. You may be required to provide a sketch as part of your response.

You are being examined on your knowledge and critical thinking. You will need to practice analysing art through the ages and provide thorough context behind the artworks. In order to succeed in this subject, you will need to work on your art history skills throughout the course. Here are some study tips to help you succeed:

  • Visit art Galleries, museums and other in-person visual displays of art throughout the course. Consider the context behind both contemporary and historical pieces. Also, consider the composition .
  • Practice life sketching under time pressure - you may be required to sketch in your written examination, so practice quick sketches, perhaps when you are out and about.
  • Learn key terminology - get used to using appropriate visual and critical terminology to communicate your understanding of the context.
  • Make yourself familiar with famous artists and artworks from all three exam paper categories (Irish Art, European Art and Appreciation of Art). Artworks and artists may come up year after year.
  • Practice past exam questions - Many artists and artworks will come up time and time again. Practicing questions will ensure that you are prepared.
  • Use mark schemes - you will learn how to correctly structure your answers and identify the components of top-mark answers.
  • Refer to sample answers in your revision material. Since you will be writing long answer questions, it is vital that you understand how to structure your essay to achieve the highest marks possible. Example answers will help you with good structure and tone.

Unlike practical art examinations and coursework, you will primarily need to study for the written Art History examination rather than practice your artistic skills. The benefit of this is that there are plenty of resources at your disposal to help you prepare. Schoolbooks.ie offers a variety of study materials that closely follow the Leaving Certificate Art specification.

We can offer a complete revision guide for your Art History final exam. In addition to this comprehensive Art History revision guide, we also offer an Art History textbook and a New Appreciation of Art revision guide

Art appreciation, gallery visit question, gallery visit art appreciation -   art gallery exhibitions can take months to plan and develop.  the artists want to focus on two things: the message they want to communicate and the audience it is aimed at.  there are certain things you should think about when visiting an exhibition: use of space: this is not just about the elements of design, but also about the spatial experience.  what is the nature, quality and design of the space used is it calm and peaceful or noisy and aimed towards children  how is the spatial experience enhanced by other design elements such as light, use of colour and the shape and size of the room  how is the space used to enhance how you experience the messages or themes in the art work  lighting: this can be really important, as not only does it create or enhance a mood but it can also affect it in negative ways.  also, textiles and paper are extremely sensitive to light damage, so conservation is a major issue when it comes to illuminating objects and displays and they can often be dimly lit for this reason. key messages:   what is the exhibition about  when visiting an exhibition it’s a good idea to list the main topics/themes of the artwork. interpretive media & technology:   these can be touchpad, interactive, audio, video device.  how are these designed and planned to support the messages or themes who is the audience:   is it for experts or for people with little knowledge of the subject  is it for students, adults, children or a range of visitors  have the items in the exhibition been explained properly or the visitors left wondering what the artwork was about what type of experience is provided are you being allowed to form your own opinions and thoughts or are you being given a particular viewpoint  what objects and themes get priority  has anything or anyone’s viewpoint been left out supporting materials:   these can be leaflets, advertisements or catalogues.  these materials are important tools for helping the organizers of the exhibition to get the message across for the audience.  examine the graphics/text and images used in support materials. directions: note the directions and signposts used in the exhibition.  are they effective placement:   take some time to look at how paintings are placed/ hung, such as an open display or in display cases. a visit to an art gallery question –sample answer and information here are points but you should write it out in essay form  & you should never re-write it directly as it is here, change it around to suit your answer...... this question is from the art history & appreciation section of the art history paper (section three) 1.       my teacher took us to dublin this year to visit the national gallery of ireland .  the national gallery is just off nassau street in the grounds of leinster lawn in dublin 2.       the paintings in the national gallery of ireland belong to all the irish public – everyones welcome to visit the gallery and entry is free. 3.       the national gallery is open from mon – fro all day and on a half day on sunday & visitors receive a booklet on arrival with the floor plan so that they know the layout of the gallery, this is helpful as the gallery is huge.  all the rooms were named on this plan and the centuries that the paintings came from.  each wing is colour coded – the gallery has 4 wings. 4.       before i visited the national gallery i thought it was only for wealthy artistic people but after my visit my opinion has changed.  i now know that an art gallery is a place where works of art are cared for and displayed for everyone to visit & enjoy. 5.       we had a guide who showed us around the gallery and explained the different rooms & paintings to us. 6.       we were not allowed to touch the paintings as they are very fragile & very old. 7.       the galleries paintings are all arranged by themes eg: still life / landscapes etc. 8.       when you walk around the gallery you ask yourself: what is the story of the painting why did the artist create it where was it meant to hang, in a palace/ monastery or a house does it fall into any of the themes in the history of art such as portraits, narratives, landscape, mythology etc.  we are also told to consider when looking at the paintings , did it make us feel happy, sad, angry, frightened etc  and did we like the painting or not we visited the ‘yeats room’ the famous irish painter jack b yeats.  this room is different from the rest of the gallery.  the lighting is low and it is like that to protect & preserve the paintings done in watercolour and oil.  there is also a glass barrier to protect the paintings,  the low lighting makes the room very peaceful & creates a special atmosphere. and strong light may damage the paintings.  because the oil paint is applied very thickly your natural reaction is to want to touch it (the texture) and the paint was applied with brushes & palette knives. 9.       yeats love to paint scenes from the west of ireland.  his paintings in the gallery are arranged from his early simple life drawings to his heavily applied knife paintings.  the paintings are hung at eye level with info underneath it about each painting. 10. my two favourite paintings by yeats are ‘the liffey swim’ &  ‘grief’. 11. the liffey swim – the subject matter of this painting is a sporting event in dublin.  we see a crowd cheering on swimmers as they swim up the liffey.  we feel that we are actually looking at the race from where the crowd was standing.  we can see a boy in a green hat trying to work his way into the crowd to sell papers.  yeats paints himself into the painting (something the does quite often) along with his wife cotty.  they are in the foreground, she wears a fancy hat and he wears a grey hat with a black band. 12. grief – this painting is very emotional.  the subject matter (what the painting is about) is about war.  it is a painting about the civil war in ireland.  in the centre there is a man on a horse with his arms raised.  he seems to be angry.  to the left of him i can see soldiers carrying rifles.  a person in green leaves the scene.  in the foreground yeats shows the victims of war, a mother trying to comfort her dying baby, there is an old man on his knees with his hands in his face.  he is either praying or just in despair.  the gable of a house can be seen in the background with an explosion going off to the left.  in the distance i can see a background of the sun rising which maybe is a symbol of hope. 13. from his traditional period, ‘ the liffey swim’ captures the excitement of this annual event in dublin, but sporting events were always of interest to him.he painted with loose brush strokes in his later works and emotion became a stronger feature in his work. he felt that the paintings could speak for themselves, he said ‘it doesn’t matter who i am or what i am, people may think what they will of my pictures’. 14. another of yeats most common images involved horses, and though he was never a horseman himself, he had a great affection for them.  ‘ for the road’ expresses the understanding between horse and rider and the light of hope and optimism at the end of the tunnel.  he died in march 1957 and has gained widespread international recognition as irelands most renowned painter. 15. i really enjoyed my visit to the national gallery and i hope to return very soon to view all of the fantastic paintings from history. ------------------------------------------------------ here are the guidelines i would give in relation to answering this question on the art appreciation section on the paper. find out the following information artists - background information style influences exhibition - description of gallery space (shape,floors/wall) lighting- natural/artificial-positioning layout- chronological/thematic/other information about the exhibition- (work, labelling) framing- are the artworks framed/canvas' describe 3 pieces - title medium format (landscape/portrait/irregular) composition colour use of materials does the painting show the art elements (texture/line/shape) if you gather all this information while at the exhibition you should be able to answer the question successfully.  ----------------------------------------------------------- example of art gallery essay - this got an a. it's about the hughe lane gallery in dublin and two works of art. i recently visited the hugh lane dublin city gallery on a class trip. i had visited the gallery once before but on this occasion i gad a better knowledge of art and the techniques used in its appreciation. so i had a better awareness and understanding of the gallery structure.  the gallery is located in charlemont house in north dublin . this is a fitting setting as the building is of neo-classical design and many of the works on display date from this period. the gallery display modern and contemporary art, with substantial collection of impressionism.  charlemont house was designed for lord charlemont by the architect sir. william chambers. the building did not become the hugh lane gallery until 1933, when the hugh lane collection was relocated to the house. hugh lane was a philanthropist who spent much of his life collecting fine examples of art. having no previous knowledge of art he chose pieces based on the opinions of his friends, eventually forming his own eye for art. lane would raise the money for the art by asking the wealthy for donation and getting deals from artists who would offer him a lower price or even donate the work for free. hugh lane demanded that these works be made freely available to the public and this was upheld in his will as they were transfered into state ownership. i noticed that the layout of the building is well designed to display works of art as the house is designed with as series of networking rooms. this means that each room leads on to the other as was originally intended for socialising. although this wasn't part of the original house, it still would of been important to sir hugh lane to be able to entertain in the house.  today is means that the progression from room to room flows naturally and allows an orders and chronological hanging of the work while allowing the viewer to focus on the paintings in a single room.  each painting is also given its own space to focus on, with no more than two to a wall. in addition smaller painting are often hung adjacent to larger painting to put emphasis on size and scale. paintings are usually hung with the centre of the picture being around eye level as this allows the best view of the painting. tags are never placed near the entrance of the room, rather than the doorway so as not to detract from the paintings themselves.  the information given is usually; the title, the artist, medium, the date painted, birth and death of artist along with a brief history of the artist life and work. to surmise, all of the above techniques mean that the work is presented in a very clear and informative manner which effectively engages the viewer. modern technology has allowed for an even more comprehensive background of the artist, such as the interactive video screens in the francis bacon studio. there is also a movie room where there is an interview with francis bacon shown on screen which is viewed before entering the studio. the gallery also has a book ship with an extensive range of subjects allowing patrons to learn more about the artwork after their visit. in old galleries the walls are painted in rich victorian colours, in keeping with the period of the displayed. a number of skylights are in place to provide natural lights along with spotlights angles at the wall (to prevent glare). the newer galleries, such as the francis bacon studio, are generally all white with no frames on the paintings, allowing the viewer to focus on the work itself. large skylight provide a great amount of natural light, along with artificial adjustable spots on sliding mounts. the gallery also has certain artifacts which are highlighted so as to draw out their characteristics. for example, the harry clarke room is devoted entirely to displays of stained glass. the room is almost completely dark with black walls and very soft, low lighting. each piece of stained glass is placed in front of its own light source, slotted into the wall. this draws out all of the unique colours of the glass and completely focuses the viewer's attention on the work.  the francis bacon studio is one of the only three preserved studios in the world. to do this every detail of bacon's studio in london was recorded, the disassembled and reassembled in the hugh lane gallery . the studio gives a fantastic insight into bacon's work and the creative processes behind it. it is located in a newer parts of the gallery, designed with the sole purpose of highlighting bacon's work. the studio is seen before bacon's paintings, allowing the viewer to better appreciate the work.  while visiting the gallery there were two paintings on display that i found particularly appealing. both were impressionist works, painted by claude monet. the first "lavacourt under snow" is a landscape painting depicting a few small picturesque houses in the countryside covered by snow. the painting is very tranquil with small quick brushstrokes, capturing the fading light and pale pinks of the sky.the painting was hung in its original frame in the style of the late 19th century.  the second painting is called "waterloo brigde", by monet. monet spent a considerable amount of time in london . while there, he made many paintings of the thames , enjoying the way the fog influenced the light and its effect on the water. the painting shows waterloo bridge from an obscured angle with part of the bridge cut off and out of frame. the painting shows the bridge in the early hours of the morning with a heavy mist present. the pale pinks and reds of the rising sun can be seen distorted in the water. london city can be seen in the background, obscured and slightly out of focus. monet is renowned for his brilliant renditions of light at the different times of day. in addition his penchant for capturing a scene of natural beauty in a man made and industrial environment is clearly evident and particularly effective when viewed in person. i thoroughly enjoyed my art gallery visit as i was able to fully see the skill and artistry that is used in a gallery to highlight and focus the works of art on display. in addition seeing many of the paintings i have studied in person mean that i now have a better understanding and appreciation of them. ______________________________________________________ 2009 paper 17. a visit to an exhibition

The central topics which run throughout the work for this exhibition range from the imposition of technology, stresses of a busy lifestyle and mental health issues; social exclusion, nostalgia of the present and questioning structures and conventions in everyday life. each artist aims to open up a conversation with the viewer - that on an intrinsic level - may have bearing on how we all strive to overcome barriers, no matter what they may be., art group 7.

Subject Overview

The Leaving Certificate Art syllabus is a broadly based course, which is made up of four units. These units should be linked together and based on the everyday visual experience of the student’s own environment.

All students, both Ordinary and Higher level, follow a common course. The practical work can include Life Sketching, Still Life, Imaginative Composition, Design and Craftwork.

The History of Art and Appreciation is a broad course covering Irish and European Art, and also Art Appreciation. It requires looking at artworks through the use of reproductions, slides and art galleries, reading books and writing essays on different subjects.

It is assessed at two levels, Ordinary Level and Higher level

The standard and quality of work determine the difference in levels. The modes of assessment include:

  • Life Sketching
  • Still Life or Imaginative or Abstract Composition
  • Design or Craftwork

All three examinations have papers to help with the preparation of ideas, research, design and materials. A written examination, involving some sketches, of Art History and Appreciation in June. Three questions are answered, one each on Irish, European and Appreciation of Art in two and half hours.

The syllabus has been revised by NCCA. A date has not yet been set for implementation.
