this week wasnt a good week.
on wed mr lee showed us some prepboards of previous a level works.
and it got us really stressed out. the standard is like WHOA.
and our current sketches are nothing compared to those.
its not that we arent good enough. i think any of us can produce that kinda standard.
but its whether we want to or not. and the time factor. TIME.
take an analogy. doing art is like having three tests every week.
a sketch can take me three hours. a GOOD sketch can take me at least 5.
and im only talking about ONE sketch.
its already considered the slackest period of the year where i can still get 6 hours a sleep every day.
sigh.
not many people understand.
only those whom are under the same circumstances will truly understand.
like why did i choose to take art when i could have taken a less time consuming (but nevertheless challenging) subject like lit or in fact any other subject?
art is not just a subject, its a lifestyle.
its something that cannot be taken away, an integral part of my life.
i dread the day where i finally finish my coursework, but at the same time wish for it all to be over; im afraid ill never practice it seriously again.
that empty void.
as ive mentioned before, art is not just about drawing. being able to draw is not equivalent to an A grade in art, like what many people think. there is so much concept and explorations put into a final piece of work, the preparations that one goes through is unbelievably crazy.
im excited to embark on this new journey.
tedious, time consuming and frustrating 99% of the time.
but theres this something that i know will keep me going.
maybe its this nervous excitement radiating from within.
maybe its because i know i have my art mates to count on.
sleepovers in the art room. eat:sleep:shit:art.
a re-enactment of last june. just worse.
maybe its pure faith.
or maybe its love.
draw:erase:too many times:crumple up:draw again:still not good: again:again:again
econs test was bad today.
one look at the question i knew i was going to fail.
doing the question itself confirmed it.
bad. bad.
