A GCSE art student finds themselves crumbling from the unexpected pressures of an art GCSE: their lack of coursework or that ‘
rose’ that looks like a damn tumbleweed or a cabbage on meth. Sometimes high, sometimes horrific at drawing, sometimes egotistical and sometimes crying over
1 imperfect line: they come in all shapes and sizes.
Most likely an art student picks the GCSE for it’s ‘easy’ facade yet will end up regretting that choice at some point. A very talented but perfectionist student might tend to procrastinate - waiting until the very last minute when realisation and their fear of
failure kicks in only to end up painting until 5am to make up for lacking course
work.
Whether having struggled with quality or quantity (at at least one point I will assure you) the eventual fulfilment of thick textured pages or a final
piece decorated in imagination and what was once a
dream, art GCSE students are thick skinned (despite occasional breakdowns) and deserve every bit right to show off and boost their ego. Unlrimately most will find the course is worth it and anything can turn into something
beautiful with effort.
