Work: Artistry

Artistry

By confusing - 06/06/2014 19:00 - Zimbabwe

Today, my students turned in their male figure artwork. One absolute idiot had the smart idea of drawing me and the TA as some kind of gay lovers. I was torn between disgust at the explicitness, anger at the disrespect, and yet awe at how well-drawn it was. FML

Today, after nearly three weeks of hard work, I finally completed my best drawing yet, a self-portrait. I was incredibly excited to take it to class tomorrow. That is, until I came home from a walk later on, only to find my brother had drawn a stick figure on it, wanking into my face. FML

Today, I saw a naked man for the first time in my life. It was the nude model in my art class. I was forced to draw wrinkles and fat rolls in places I didn't even know existed. FML

Helmut Newton strikes back

Today, my art teacher fawned over my friend's photographs of random children and people making out, while she called my picture of an old man looking thoughtful on a pier "creepy" and "voyeuristic." FML

Today, in art class, our instructor called me up to the front to model for a drawing. I agreed to pose because it was nice to be called on, and I needed a self-esteem boost. He then thanked me, saying it's a great exercise for the class to draw such strange proportions. FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

Today, after finishing a test, I decided to draw to pass the time. My teacher looked at the drawing and gave me a referral to the principal for drawing an "anti-Semitic picture." I'd drawn Superman. FML

Subconscious

Today, I was doodling randomly during a meeting at work, and I noticed my drawing was beginning to look a bit like a penis. A coworker was eyeing it so I tried to make it something else by adding... oh good, now it's a penis and balls. FML

Pencil in the ass time

Today, I was in art class in which we were drawing mythical creatures. I spent the entire hour and a half drawing a Minotaur, which turned out extremely well. It turned out so well that the teacher thought I had traced it, and told me to start over right before the bell rang. FML

Today, my friend made an effort to draw a penis on every page in my analysis textbook in pen. I have to return this tomorrow. FML

Leg day

By humiliated - 14/01/2011 16:28 - United Kingdom

Today, a friend asked me to come with her to the art building at school so I could pose in the stance of a figure she was drawing for her exam. I obliged and sat for the pose. When the art teacher walked by, she looked at me, then at the sketch, pointed to the legs, and said, "Make them fatter". FML

As my father once told me: "Son, I appreciate all artwork, though I don't always agree with it."

Just tell the student that while they're very talented, that the particular drawing is inappropriate and to draw something else next time.

I agree. Mark them based on the criteria objectively and then have a talk with them about personal boundaries and what is appropriate for content in this particular environment.

Really great drawing deserves an A but how disrupting it is gives an F to make it a C or somethjng

I mean, if the student's work was marvelous, suck it up and give them an A. The "disrespect" you perceive should not influence their grade, because they are obviously extremely talented. Better yet, troll your student and have a long discussion with him about all the explicit portions that you just LO~OVE and point them all out while looking him straight in the eye.

Well... When two men really love each other and want to express their feelings with one another...Any way butts tend to suffer greater casualties in homosexual relationships

Fail them for disrespect; they need to learn, somehow.

if the work is good, it is not fair to fail them because of disrespect. the grade is based on how good the work is, not how it makes you feel.

Part of how good it is is how effective it is at making you feel something, but what emotion it evokes should only be a part of your aesthetic judgement.

I was taught that art, as long as it makes you feel SOMETHING is effective. There is no greater failure as an artist than to have everyone look at it and go "meh..."
