I've never really thought about this seriously before, but when I consider it, I think art was the most difficult and challenging subject for me during secondary school. This is because, as far as I'm concerned, there wasn't any clear instruction or feedback. There was also no clear method to measure how well I was doing. So it was very fuzzy to me. It was difficult to comprehend and I felt unsure about my progress.
