Today was one of those days you don’t want to have to write about too often, in fact hardly ever. I spent a few hours yesturday preparing my prep for my art exam on some A1 sheets. So I come in this morning dodging the rain droplets with my eight large black sheets and scuttle into the art block. One of my art teachers takes a look at what I have done and immediately asks if I have stuck my work down. “Yes”. “What did I tell you, do not stick anything down until I have gone through it”.

I have two art teachers. The one aforementioned, lets call them A, has not been as involved in my exam course as much as the other, B. So on Friday B told me to make sure my prep was mounted etc on sheets as it had to be in by today (Monday). I mentioned that A had told me to make sure it was looked at before I stuck it all down but B made it clear it had to be done by today. So to do it for today I did. And for once, I have done work and been at a disadvantage. Others in my set didn’t mount their prep/didn’t do any work. Such is life.

At least one thing has come out of today - I am not doing art for another year. I didn’t take art for GCSE so this year (AS) was a leap of faith, thinking I would really enjoy it and excel. I started off with lots of enthusiasm but the longer the course went on the more I got worn down up to now where it all has to be mounted and presented, and I’m doing the exam (i finished today). I can’t be arsed with it anymore - just want to get it off my chest, which I thought this blog might do a little. Not sure if it has though! Only a month and it’ll be over.

Sorry about this rant, probably a crap read but just a vent for what’s spinning around in my head. Future blogs I’ll keep much more interesting on more enjoyable topics! No more art.
