Pissed

Today, I turned in my best painting yet for a scholarship competition. For once in my life, I was actually proud of a piece I'd done. I ended up losing the scholarship to some dickface who'd basically just glued together some crap from the dollar store and called it conceptual art. FML

Today, I lost an art contest to some talentless arsepipe whose piece was literally just a broken heart crudely drawn in her own blood. FML

Today, one of my paintings was accepted into a local art gallery. It would've been a dream come true, had my "best friend" not submitted it under her own name and taken all the credit. FML

Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML

Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML

Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML

Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML

Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML

Ruined art

Today, while sitting on a bench drawing, some guy went up to me, yelled, “YOUR ART SUCKS” and flipped my sketchpad out of my hands. I’d been working on that piece for hours and now there’s a big black pencil streak on it. FML

Today, I was looking through an old box of personal artwork when I realised the entire box was damp. This was all my own art from the past 3 years, smudged and smelling of cat urine. I was supposed to showcase some of it in a competition winning gallery this month. FML

What exactly did you paint? It's hard for me to have an opinion on this without seeing both pieces. There is no reason not to still be proud of what you painted, but realize that art appreciation is subjective so there is no guarantee everyone is going to love what you do. Whatever it was that so inspired you about this painting, try to take that idea and start a series to develop it further, once you have a decent amount, try pitching a show to local galleries, see what happens! But don't hate just cause they liked someones art better than yours.

Appreciating paintings is subjective, but just like music and other types of art, it can be judged objectively too, since there are techniques and all. Whether OP's rage is somewhat justified or not depends a lot on the criteria being used to judge the works... if they were being judged just by the concept and the technique didn't really matter as long as it got the message across well, then OP is just a sore loser no matter what his painting was like, since there was no "right" way to do it. If they were supposed to be judged objectively... then OP might have a point.

Eh you were probably going to encounter the same attitude studying art in college, anyway.

OP, the real tragedy would be giving up. If at first you don't succeed, try try try again. Concentrate on being better instead of insulting the other guys work.
