Argh! What is wrong with the school system over here? Every year I am told by my peers that I must find school easy, that I dont need to work, that Art is a subject for children.. Why cant these people understand that it takes a lot of hard work and time to get good grades in practical art subjects? Of which I have three, Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Design. All three have taken up a huge ammount of time and as the dealines draw closer, I am starting to go mad!
All my teachers have said the very same thing 'Forget your other subjects, this comes first, give it your 100%' My 100% is going out, but just three ways, giving each of my subects just 33.3% which is why Im far behind my peers.
Im not sure how these subjects work for everyone else but here in England, for A Levels in Art and Photography you do months worth of research, paintings, sketchs, studies in one term then a final finished piece to show your learnings and improvements. In DT, we find a product to make as a need (for me I did Manny the Mannequin) which takes the whole school year plus we study a product, anaylising and researching it (Ive chosen the Apple iPod) which is about a 20 page essay, Im sorry but does this sound easy to you?
Sure, Im incredablely lazy and probably should of started eailier but when I have to work, I do and I do my work well, but now with an 15 hour Art exam on Monday, My DT coursework dealines due Saturday, My Photography Coursework tomorrow Im feeling pretty stressed and under a huge ammount of pressure. Will I make these dealines? Probably not, but Il have a damn good try.
Well, I feel better now thats off my chest :) Im sorry if I cant get round to posting, visiting, updating in this next week, I just dont have time but I hope that everyones week is less stressful than mine, now I have to cook the family meal.. Cant wait..
