Description
I'm not expecting this to be popular, seeing as it isn't a horse, but I thought that i'd upload it anyway. I won't lie, this is actually my pride and fucking joy at the moment. This photo does it no justice compared to real life, particularly seeing as the noise is so high (it's pretty dark in my art room).This is my final piece that is part of my GCSE coursework metamorphosis unit that we had to hand in last week (scary stuff!). I know that it's not the best painting around by a long way, but it is by far the best that I have ever done, so i'm happy, and it received full marks.
I am sososo mad about that splodge in the corner that you can see - it was left on the drying rack and some absolute dickhead put a file covered in PVA glue on top of it. If I try and peel the glue off the paint comes with it, and I don't have the patience to repaint it at the moment, so it will have to do for now.
Medium;Acrylic paint on Seawhite paper
Size;about 50x50cm, I think
Time;30+ hours over 3 weeks

-squee- this is so
You're right, this is definately something to be proud of, it's beautiful. The expression, colours, everything is -love-. As AugureyEyes said, a very fitting title (:
You might think I write better, but this blows anything I've done off the radar. 30 hours well-spent <3
and as a side-note, OMG GCSE's- I just want them to be over. My last exam's on the 21st June; I'm dreaming for the day

Awwh, thankyou darling 
Snap. My last is on the 17th, I think? But the art exam is at the end of April, and i'm dreading it. What subjects are you taking, out of interest?

Ah, coursework. I had to give in an ICT one last year July but I gave it in a couple of weeks ago. I probably shouldn't feel so bad though seeing as the teachers (there's two of them for ICT) couldn't even bother to check whether I'd given it in, which is why I got away with it. I gave the second coursework in about a week late, way before most of the other students and the teacher was like "I didn't expect this of you, it's very serious...". -!?
I took Arabic and Religious Studies in Year 10 and got two A's. This year I have Maths, English Lit and Lang, Science Core and Additional, Geography, ICT. I didn't get to choose them though 
What about you?

You know, we had to do ICT a few years back and they were exactly the same as yours, and they were crap too - we pretty much taught ourselves the whole course - how I scraped an A i'll never know >>
Arabic - wow, that sounds difficult - do you have to speak it as well, or just write it? Well done with the A's though! I took core Science last year and got A*'s (how?), so now i've got additional and further this year, along with eng lit/lang, maths, geography, graphics, french and art. That's really harsh that you didn't get to choose what you took though, I thought it was just a standard thing that everyone made their choices about what to take in year 9. You get to choose your own A levels though, right?

I learnt to read Arabic as a child for religious purposes (I'm muslim), so reading and pronouncing weren't so bad. It wasn't too hard, I think I could've got a top gradae if I had started memorising more vocab from before instead of trying to cram in the last couple of months. I'd have liked to take it for A-level but they don't do it anywhere.
My core Science modules got messed up (teachers, again) so I only managed an A.
We didn't get to choose our GCSE's because my school has limited options, but I'm moving for A-Level's- English Lit, Bio, Chem and the fourth is either Physics or Psychology- I don't think I could stand any more Maths xD
