1) Why u need to take Pendidikan seni?- Scholarship. All i know now, the current government r almost broke. Soon or later, even u get 10A+, also use less. The government cannot bear it anymore. If u want know more, u can go to LYN education section or RWI there.
2) If u r rich, yes u can spend on it. I asume u know well in design section here. Good luck for u.

Hi there, first of all, it does not matter if you take Pend. Seni in high school or not. As long as you continue to have the passion to create art, it is enough.
It is good that you are training some of your technical skills, esp in photoshop. It will help a lot in the coming future when you enter an art college. You should continue to do so and perhaps pick up a few more programs.
About after graduating from high school, don't worry too much about what to specialize in, usually colleges and universities will throw you into foundation year, where they will teach you everything(only touching the surface) of every major so that at the end of your foundation year, you'll have a basic idea of what is what.
Scholarship? I think Star Newspaper also has them scholarships or something. But the govt does provide PTPTN loans, that may help too.
So far your skills with photoshop is quite good, but photoshop is just a tool. If you are really keen, go browse through books that teach composition, human anatomy, lighting, proportions and etc.
Lastly, you can have a read at this :

thanks for sharing the blog link.. I read it.. It gave me a lots of inspiration and motivation!!!

Dreams and passion are worth the stakes, given you're eager and zealous for the things you love to do.
Like many forumers here, I'd say you should really tell your parents about how keen you are in that area, and you should get some details and research about it like what Xiven have mentioned.
I just finished my SPM this year, and before that, I was about to take P.Seni as an extra subject as well, but
I realized as a not-so-academically-bright student, I could not juggle many subjects at once. So I didn't take it, and felt satisfied because I get to do more practice in Arts in my free time instead of being in school for the P.Seni lessons.Unless you're thinking about getting more A's, you're better off without it. Make use of your time to do the things that would make you better in what you love to do.

I'm not so good in studying when i came to form 4, the first 5 months are like hell for me...... i couldn't even interpret what my chemistry teacher was teaching.. (plus, i'm not even interested in learning these subjects.. I work hard for these subjects like physic/chem is just to pass my exam this year).. If i take P.SENI next year.. I scared that i will have lesser time to spend on my study..... (if i fail my SPM or I doesn't get a good result, that means I will have a lesser chance to get into the art&design related uni/college because my parents will definitely PROHIBITS ME from doing that so.. and even forbid me from doing any works related to art&design )
mmm I will think thrice or even consult a teacher in school before taking P.SENI..
Next year will be my last year in high school and i couldn't wait for SPM to end...........After my SPM i will burn all my physic, chemistry, additional maths/ any academic reference books and text books.... And i would rather suicide if my dad force me to go to Form 6.

I had a couple of friends who faced opposition from their families when they wanted to study art or go into art/design college.
One of them insisted that he fulfill his dreams of becoming an artist and resisted his parents. He even moved out of home to live with a friend.By persisting, they relented and allowed him to go in the end. It was sad to see him go through that because he had lots of arguments with his parents.
Another friend's parents also said arts and design no future. He wanted to study g.design very much. In the end, he went to study something else his parents would be happy about, to please his parents. He studied I.T. After working for a few years and saved some money, he told his parents he wanted to go back study full time g.design. That's what he did.
wow.. Their actions and bravery definitely impressed me!
