Submitted an essay, spellchecked it afterwards to find that I've called the painting the wrong thing through the entire essay - "The Potato Peelers" instead of "The Potato Eaters"!!
"The Qustion of Influence in The Potato Peelers"

Either way, it's a pretty crappy name for a painting 
Surely they can't take marks off for you getting the name of it wrong. It's the analysis that's important.

I actually did that on one of my Standard Grade Art essays that was sent off to the exam board - i continuously referred to the painting as something other than the title and i got away with it as i got a 1 for the essays. I'm sure they'll realise it was an error and like Lindsay said its your analysis thats important. They might not even notice!

Think of what'll happen if you fail. It never fails For example, if I fail to attain BBBB this year, then I won't be able to go to Glasgow (my university of choice), and be forced to go to my annoying school for another year. Basically, just think of the consequences of not doing it, as opposed to thinking of the rewards of actually doing it.
