So my high school art teacher is...basically one of the meanest people I have met. I have never heard ONE compliment out of her mouth, all she does is criticize. She grades based on skill, and if she likes what you're doing or not. This one guy wanted to paint some fantasy stuff, and she said "that will probably be pretty cheesy". My friend wanted to paint some imaginary creatures (that were awesome) and she was like, "they may be too cutesy" (she sells these paintings for like...$50-100). Like, who the fuck are you to say. If we want to paint that, let us! You shouldn't be restricting us just because you don't like it.
Oh, and the first day of school she asked if any of us left our paintings there from the year before, since I guess she saw them in the back. And I said I did...so I got my painting (it is a black & white oil just copying this picture I took of Chicago, nothing special just for fun) and she was like "Oh, you're the anal girl" (...don't be a perv) She was like "you like to do alll the little details in your painting bla blalbalblalaa. Oh and I would never let my students use black with oil~!!!1!!!!!" Bitch that was only one of my paintings, I wanted it to be in black & white...and yeah, I WANTED it to be detailed?
Ugh. She is horrible.

Sorry for the rant. :P
Anyway...here are some life drawings!
The ones at the beginning were from my life drawing class...the model didn't show so we just draw stuff around us. I was playing with ink & water. (:

haha, yeah art teachers are like that... not a whole lot you can do but try and make the best out of it.
ReplyDeleteand I think #1 and #3 are pretty cool!
Bad teachers are bad teachers. I sometimes wish my art teacher would throw some criticism at me. Most of the time, he'll give vague project ideas and say 'go'.
ReplyDeletein the simplest of stick figures, do you draw the midsection of women in 2 parts or 3?
