Being excellent at drawing, I took on Art as one of my GSCE courses last year.
The course itself isn't that bad actually, and at the moment our topic is 'shoes'. Yes, it sounds sad, but at the end of the course we must have produced a sculpture of a weird and abstract shoe.
However, there is loads of homework which really pishes me off seeing as I have a very busy schedule during the week with after school clubs etc.
I've just finished another mammoth homework. Christ it can be annoying, and Art isn't just about drawing. It's also about painting, sculpting etc.
Anyone else here take Art for GCSE? Apparently the final exam is 10 hours long, which doesn't sound too pleasing :S

Every heard of Marco Merenghi? He was a window-cleaner living in Rhondda. One day he decided to change his life and being good at drawing he went to college.
Now he's working for EA in America and is a multi-millionaire
If you believe in yourself you can achieve anything.

There was a job at EA Chertsey where all you do is play all the new releases and then preview them. You have to preview each build that you are given, but you are being paid (£18,000 p/a) to do something fun.
Shame that you needed to be 18 to get the job. :c( All you needed was GCSEs in English and a few other subjects, too.

Lol...why?
I actually regret messing about at school. I didn't start it until half way through year 10. Stuff like telling teachers where to get off, not turning up to lessons and handing a majority of my coursework in on the day before study leave...
I mean, I've been to school for what, 11/12 years? So I might as well come away with something, rather then that being a waste of my childhood.
One teacher was such a cow, though. I had bunked her lesson, with a mate. Anyway, we happened to bump into her after lesson.
Her: "Where were you in my lesson?"
Me: "Oh we were just..."
Her: "DON'T ANSWER ME BACK!"
I then began to walk off, whilst she was shouting at me for doing so. Then she said she was gunna report me, lol.
Needless to say, I'm not sad that she left after she was taken into hospital with a serious illness.

AC, does that mean you've got a weird two-week timetable?
Lol if you think that'll ever happen you're a bigger idiot than you sound.
If you do well there is no reason why you couldn't.
