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.
Person 1: Look at that GCSE art student crying from
stress.
Person 2: I heard they have 3 whole sketchbooks due in
2 days.
Person 1: That’s
rough.
