Painting was quite challenging as I had not done art in about 4 years now but it was always something I loved to do but was never good at. This was a challenge I wanted to overcome and take on. While painting I was surprised to the amount of research I needed to do to find out which colors I needed to mix together to get the color I desire. This gave me new skills when it came to knowing which colors match well together. My strengths are drawing and doodling so it was quite easy for me to do the outline of the painting but the areas I need to develop was the actual painting, to make sure I did not paint outside the outline and that the colors properly blended together. It took over a week to do this painting and there were other paintings that I did but had thrown away because I was not satisfied with them.

Painting itself was one of the most challenging and frustrating activity I have done for CAS as it was so time consuming and required a lot of skills that I needed to commit to developing over time.

(LO2) Another challenge was the knowledge section of the exam where we had to choose a practitioner to learn about and be tested on. I chose Constantin Stanislavski as I remembered his acting techniques from researching about him during my Igcses. The lamda examiner questioned me about how Stanislavski turned realism to naturalism withn acting and what were his teachings. (LO3) The perseverance part was the hardest as I would struggle to split my time between homework, school work and revision that I usually do during my free periods that would be re...
