every year differs with cut off marks for art express. if the year produces more excellent quality pieces than another year, the cut off mark for pre-selection increases. same if the year's quality is lower, the pre-selection cut off mark lowers.
sometimes it cuts off at like 42 sometimes its 47. the average being around 45 out of 50.
when the markers determine the years cut off for pre-selection, everyone who gets the mark or higher is automatically chosen for pre-selection of art express.
from there, they choose the most interesting artworks (not necessarily the highest marks) that the public would appeal to.
then the art gallery of nsw, all those shopping centres who are involved with showing the works come in and choose which ones they want for their exhibition. i think the art gallery of nsw has first pick... theres a priority order
AND
when they choose subjects to be in the exhibitions, they have to be fair and non-discriminatory, so there has to be an equal amount of private schools and public schools, girls and boys and co-ed schools, city and country schools etc.
that means its extremely hard to get into art express because of fairness. even if someones is better looking and has a higher mark, they might not get in, but someone from a country school for example, with a lower mark gets in over them.
its all relative.
so if you don't get it, don't think you suck... you've probably done really well and don't beat yourself up about it
good luck everyone!
im sure you'll all do fine
