Doing IGCSE Art last year, both motivated me and discouraged me from doing my own artwork. I loved the fact that I was 'forced' to draw and paint for homework (best homework ever??), but at the same time I was annoyed by the fact that I could never create what I wanted. I am ever grateful for the experience, as it made me develop my skills and discover new media. Without it I never would have discovered my love for painting in acrylics (although pencil is still number one). That is what I want to work on as part of my CAS.
Finally, after much to long without drawing (and completing anything), I got out my pencils and finished a new piece of work that wasn't merely doodles on my homework. I decided that instead of doing an extravagant creative piece, I'd stick to drawing a detailed portrait of Cara Delevingne to get back into drawing. I plan on sticking to it on a regular basis from now on. Hopefully writing that down, will motivate me to do the thing I love more often.
