my portfolios


After many many weeks, days, hours of hard work,
I have finally completed my two art portfolios!

I must admit, it was hard work, but it was all worth it after seeing the completed porfolios, and when it came to the time that I had to wrap it up for it to be sent away the next day, I somehow felt a funny feeling... like, i didn't want it to be sent away.

I can't wait until it gets sent back to me!



What is he doing??
He's looking at my design folio!

When I look at my two portfolios...
it seems like it isn't a lot of work... right?

But it took a LONG LONG time..
it takes DAYS just to print, cut, put double sided tape on, stick down...
it's a lot more work than it seems...
and i mean a LOT MORE.

the majority of people who don't do art seem to think it's an "easy" subject and WAY better than sitting those 3 hour external exams (i really don't understand where they get that idea from)... but to be honest... it's many times worse... one subject's external exam may take 1-2 weeks of study and then 3 hours sitting the actual exam.. but portfolios take much longer... these portfolios are called externals too... and we can't finish it in 3 hours...

it LOOKS easy, but it's not...
But i really really enjoyed it...!

I sometimes think, maybe I should have done fine arts as my major in uni?
I don't know... i just know that although it was hard work, i enjoyed every moment of it.
=)
that's all that matter...
it's all about enjoying... no point if you don't enjoy!
life's too short to do something you don't want to do, or something you won't enjoy.

but u definitely will pass your internal if you do it(for arts). For science and maths, they're different things. You could ask those who did the biology internal- woodlice. it took us 2 months or longer to do the experiment, but someone just failed and that's only worth some credit, not as much as arts. No offence, arts are hard too(that's why I go science, I dont have creative thinking..)haha. But we'll actually prefer art if we could, bcoz you'll just get all the credits u need. NCEA marking schedule has changed, lots of ppl get not achieved bcoz of one or two stupid mistake... =(
