no, no you wouldn't. You can put something on paper or canvas or a wall or take a photo and explain your reasons in terms of pattern or depiction to give it meaning. You can offer an opinion on art and support it from your experience and knowledge. You can argue your case. You wouldn't fail.TBF, I'd probably fail any art exam ever.Oh God, that makes me thicker than Toby Young and the fucking Windsors. Shoot me now.
i only bunked off one day of lessons when i was at school only it was the day they told us where the oral exam for the german gcse would be. so i arrived late for that, started speaking in english halfway through and was only saved by the teacher rewinding the tape and starting again. then for some reason i no longer recall i thought it would be a good idea to drink six cans of strongbow before the written exam, forgot a pen and had to borrow a pencil, could only remember how to tell the time in german and then passed out halfway through. to this day a friend of mine insists he got a d (despite actually being able to speak german) because he tried to wake me up in the exam. i received a c and my german now, as it was then, only extends to the 2 pints of lager and a currywurst level, or (as i was fortunate to find in the written exam) describing the school day of the late 1980s.
The trick is to focus on the medium itself. The paperiness and flatness of the paper, for example. Let me know if you've an exam coming up and I'll send you a load of my finished work.TBF, I'd probably fail any art exam ever.
i have a similar sculpture, which i call 'the power of the unwritten word'
I failed all my CSEs... except Art
I'd heard rumours that a member of the royal family posted, undercover on here.I failed all my CSEs... except Art
Does that mean you'd be more suited for Cambridge then?I failed all my CSEs... except Art
And if it hadn't been for that pesky CSE and your dad not being pals with the admissions tutor, you'd have gone to Oxford for sure.I failed all my CSEs... except Art
Yeah, but I bet they didn't do CSEs in proper stuff like metalwork and tech drawing.I'd heard rumours that a member of the royal family posted, undercover on here.
Good covering, Prince!
Lucky escape for me then. All I got on the last day at school, was the big speech on "the pearl is your oyster" followed by a recommendation to either go down the pit or get a packing job at Pilkington's Tiles. Instead, I signed on at £9.10 a week... and thought I was rolling in itAnd if it hadn't been for that pesky CSE and your dad not being pals with the admissions tutor, you'd have gone to Oxford for sure.
I got Ungraded (U) for History and Latin, covering the exam papers with 1000 circles and 500 cubes respectively. And I got an Absent (X) in my Computer Studies theory exam, having had a last minute panic the game I submitted for the practical element of my course would be discovered to have been directly stolen from an obscure BBC Micro magazine.
The depressing truth, probably, is 'wait'.
Yes, just the dateline.Around 2% or so, maybe ....
I DID pass both English and did well enough in maths to put on my CV I'd actually passed it for three decades until I actually did.
A fine example of why readership of such publications is so low amongst younger generations. An article that is just such a lot of self centered bollox that it has to be a vain attempt at some kind of humor. Viz do it better.
Got a 'D' four times in Maths O-Level before I gave up ...
You supposedly needed a Maths pass to get into University back in the Seventies,. This turned out to be untrue ....
I had three attempts at O Level and got a ''U' every time despite being able to work out multiple complicated horse racing bets in my head and work out my winnings. I just couldn't write it down
He has...? Just imagine what he'd be like otherwise...
