Gemini-wow.is there any possibility that you could do my 3 week( :eek: ) art exam for me? :o :D seriously...you are extremely talented.....well done!

Jay_lynn- jafa cakes are an obssesively mourish kind of mini cake over here in england.They have a soft biscuit base, with a kind of orange flavoured jam then a thin, yummy topping of chocolate. Career possability for me- do the voice overs for Marks and Sparks...
This isn't just food....this is M&S food.... :D lol

mmmmmmmm............jaffa cakes!!yumyum :D

[Jay_lynn]

thanks :D and silver serpant VA exams arnt really that hard theory or prack just do something abstract and call it art :D thats what i do and the teacher loves it even though i do it in a week instead of 2mths. he hates me for that lol.

[Gemini]

thanks you's guyses :D

Silver Serpent, i almost failed art, well, not almost, but it was my lowest mark and seriously dragged my OP down, :o . This was mostly because my art teacher though i didn't "develop the ideas behind my art enough" :mad: which seriously pees me off, esp since she had two favourite students who she spent most art lessons with, whilst ignoring the rest of the class. Art was a seriously biased class at my school, if the teacher liked you then you were fine, if not you were stuffed.

I wish we had jaffa cakes here, they sound and look so soooooooo good :D

Do you have Tim Tams over there? i know they don't have them in America.

[Silver Serpent]

Tim Tams?!I can see this developing into a new thread- 'what biscuits/cakes/drinks/food do you have....but people on the other side of the world don't!'lol :D
My art teacher last year was soo biased- she stayed with two girls allll lesson- you could have jumped up and down, swung from the rafters and made monkey noises and she wouldn't have noticed.Thank god she left.I am NOT taking art for my options.no way. :p

[Celebriän]

strange isn't it. my art teacher was almost exactly the same! A couple of favourites that always got top marks and you'd get a decent mark as long as you did what she liked.

[Bridie]

my art teacher says i talk to much! shes nice enough though she understands that i cant draw so she goes easy with me on marking... lol im more of a lets paint stuff and make collarges and stuff with clay person. not sketching or portraits... lol

[Gemini]

Tim Tams?!
HA! YES! you have no Tim Tams! REVENGE for no Jaffa Cakes! Tim Tams (http://druh.com/rc/rc_tt_timtam.htm) (that page explains them rather well :D) are these devine chocolate covered biscuits that are best when you bite off either end and suck tea through them (local custom :D).

Hmm, the art class bias seems rather common for my liking, whatever happened to the saying that anything can be art, that it's supposed to be an expresison of yourself. You can't (shouldn't) really mark artwork anyways, how can you assign an value to somebody's expression of themselves?
