xBillyBrownx Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Just wondering if there was anyone else here who's suffering like me. It would be nice if we could come here and just complain about school So is there anybody else here who's doing A Levels or AS Levels at the moment. I'm still doing AS. It's great fun! And if so what subjects are you studying etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i did as/a-levels one and two years ago (obviously as levels come before a-levels..) I did: Drama and Theatre Studies, Media Studies, English Literature and Language Combined and Art and Design: Fine Art. my sister made me take english even though i didn't want to, because she said it would come in handy. i liked all my other subjects, apart from english, as i never did the homework, never really listened, mucked around and gossiped... As the year went on I found that Art was increasingly becoming more difficult. I've never been trained in Art and always stuck to pencils....drawing pencils and colouring pencils, while everyone else around me were brilliant at paint, chalk, charcoal...you name it. Exam time was coming round, and my final piece turned out to be this: my teacher practically slated it and said that it wasn't art, to which i responded "you're an ART teacher, isn't everything supposed to be art?" he was biased and favoured abstract art like Picasso, and therefore didn't think pretty, fantastical things such as Fairies were considered art. He also said that if I used a different range of media (that's paint, chalk, charcoal...) instead of pencils, I'd get more marks which I thought was ridiculous, because surely it's quality over quantity? I stuck to my guns and in my exam I did the same thing, but got an E. I discovered that art itself is all about self discovery and isn't really something that could be taught. In my first year I got: Art: E Drama: D (it's alot harder than what i originally thought...) Media: C English: B I was really surprised at English, because I never even tried. I worked hard on the others but English came out on top. I decided to drop art and carry on with English. I thought I might as well study something that's gonna give me good marks, something I'm good at. *not saying i'm a bad artist, i don't think i am, just what the college considered good and bad...* in my second year, I got: Drama: D Media: C English: B Same story with english again...didn't do anything, but gained the top mark. Heck, two of my exam papers were A's!! but i never found it stressful. I don't stress about it, i dont know why... i study childcare now and have an exam tomorrow, but im not worried...

mikas_gal07 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 wow i'd love to study that! i noe what you mean i'm sure it helps you understand people as well:naughty: haha good thinking! i'll try to do that.. except it's so far in the future! Yeah i understand alot about people and why they think irrational etc , but alot of the time i keep it to myself ... the worst is when your on a night out and people ask what your doing on your course and you tell them psychology , and they think your analysing them all night ! ... Goodness sake , i wanna good time and to leave my course at home not to analyse people !! How long do you have left ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I studied it for four years (two years GCSE, two years A-levels..) and I can't look at a poster without deconstructing it. It's like clockwork; it just happens. I stare at it for a few seconds and I'm already wondering why they chose those colours, that font, that person, that tagline, and within the next few seconds I have my answers. It's completely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
