Hi everyone,
I was quite excellent at STEM subjects at school, but struggled (bad) at art classes. Here's why:
At grade 9 of middle school, one of the job (assignment) that I had to perform in weeks was singing Amayadori by Mayumi Itsuwa.
I and other students were given photocopies of music sheet of that song. But I got the broken one (in sense of the second before the last page was duplicated instead of having the actual last page). So I had to be called last and perform "lipsyncing" with my classmate who also called last.
Because of the broken music sheet, I never rehearsed singing the song.
Fast forward to high school, I greeted with 2013 Curriculum (Kurikulum 2013 or in short, K-13). One of the changes in the curriculum is there is now theoretical tests in art subject, not just the practical ones. As a consequence, I was excellent at theoretical tests, because the problems in such tests are too easy for me (almost all of them were low order thinking problems, for example of these problems see the sample here), thus I could complete them in less than thirty minutes.
But again, on practical tests, I rather struggled again. One time when I paint over the glass, the paint were suddenly spilled and my painting was quite not up to what I expected (proper colors on the painting). Also on final test, when my class was divided into two groups for musical number, I joined neither (I withdrew because I was not interested in it), yet my art teacher still gave me standard score.
Thanks.
