Answer 1

Its a gcse question about viewpoints, maybe you should be looking at perspective. Plenty books in libraries. It is view points and not points of view. Maybe need to consider isometric drawing, from your technology lessons. Good Dorling and Kingsley book out called Perspective, most schools should have that, excellent info in there. You could start your research with looking at the first artist(s) to use perspective. All in the book!!!!! Try it! Just photocopying will get nil marks you need to write in your own words. Maybe your title page to your research could be titled with lettering using a perspective line. Also may be worth doing some work on the golden section which is linked to the Fibbonnaci series! Ask your maths teacher! Good Luck! Maybe you should have used your preparation time a little more wisely!

Answer 2

i don't really understand what you mean about viewpoints..

but are you doing it just in a visual sense or you thinking deeper? you could look at the idea of community around a church, the importance of its place in many people's lives. you could get some flyers from different churches, work with different slogans and stuff from these things. maybe photograph or do rubbings from old gravestones?
or you could focus on something aesthetic like stained glass windows. maybe do some nice drawings of them or take photos. you could do that thing where you put all the colours down before with wax crayons, then paint black on top and scrape into it. i know it sounds really childish but it can look great if you do it well. i suppose it just depends on what kind of thing you're into.
nathan coley is a scottish artist who makes models of religious buildings in and around edinburgh, he'd be someone good to put in the research sketchbook. if i think of anything else i'll add to this comment.

Answer 3

What about using pictures of religious buildings from different religions (to signify different people having different 'viewpoints' on religion) and then perhaps messing with the same picture but changing the colour schemes, (to again signify that people have different 'viewpoints' - that for some a church is a positive experience, and others it may be a negative experience).

Then of course you could take pictures/draw/paint a church from different angles (from lying on the ground, and from the top of a hill overlooking it) again to signify different 'viewpoints'.

Good luck with it!

Answer 4

just get down to some serious image searches, sketch some stuff. Or you'll get a rubbish mark. You can pullit out of a hat in a few days, presuming you don't have other coursework deadlines. Log out of MSN...yahoo messenger..switch off your mobile...tell family you are working .put some inspirational music,(for you,) on your mp3 player..and get stuck in.
I have turned a uni art project around in a day..you just need to focus...

Answer 5

How about "religious viewpoints"... So you could photograph/ draw/ whatever churches, mosques, synagogues, buddhist temples etc?
