Dd1 is only in Y8, but thinking about her options already.
She likes art, and is good at it, although she is less sure. Her school has a good reputation for art and there are some very talented artists in her form. Therefore she doubts her ability, because she isn't the best (although in top 3).
Her art teacher at parents evening said that he expected her to be in his GCSE art group. My question was that I have always heard that art is "a lot of work." His reply was that it is the same workload as other subjects, but that students and parents assume that it will be less. He felt that a child like my dd would enjoy the work, and so it would not feel arduous.
So does art GCSE require more work and time than other subjects? Can you guess that I have not an artistic bone in my body?
