    I never did art for the junior cert... Do you think I'll be okay starting now in transition year and kind of catch up with the others? I just have a real interest in it :) I'd just be worried because I haven't done it the last three years

    Thats exactly what TY is for. Taking up all subjects and deciding which are your fave and which to continue. Never done art, but if you've a real passion for it, of course you should do it.

    After my JC and getting a C in Science i said never again would I ever do science. Done TY, in which I had to do all sci subjects and ended up keeping on Phy and Chem for the leaving. Now i'm doing BioChemical Science in Cork. So I have to say, if you enjoy it, DO IT!

    i did art for the jc and if you want to do it for the lc, should be no bother. jc art is just compiling an art project, you do no theory at all so you wouldnt have missed anything in the 3 years.

    Well, more than having done it for JC, what you need for LC art is.. ability. To draw, and whatnot. If you can do that you'll be fine.

    We do art in TY, but it's more hands-on stuff, like pottery and jewellery making.

    We drew dead fish for a couple of weeks.

    I kid you not.

    You'll be grand, my friend did exactly that and now she's doing a portfolio for art college. Just use the year to practise your drawing, as long as you're okay at that and have an interest in art the leaving cert will be a-okay. Just make sure you realise how much art history you'll have to do! That's new to everyone though so don't worry.
