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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML
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, we were practicing figure drawing in art class. Our regular model didn't show up, so our teacher pulled someone out of study hall. And who did she pick? My ex-boyfriend, who stalked me after our breakup, which resulted in a nervous breakdown that put me in therapy. It was a long class. 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
Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML
Today, I had to do a still life of a pillowcase for my drawing class. To make up for bad grades I've gotten before, I followed my professor's directions to a T. He took 19 points off because I drew the background when no one else did. We have to do it for every piece. FML
Today, I saw a guy in the street drawing caricatures, and I decided to pay him to do one of me. Being a caricature, I looked pretty monstrous in it. When I showed it to my mum later, she shuddered and said, "Yeah, looks just like you." FML
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, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML

I'm sorry to hear that OP. You're professor is really inconsiderate to say that about you.

Well, I have to at least give you credit for being brave enough to do it. I, and most people would never do it. Perhaps he meant you were skinny, or were voluptuous and have big boobs/hips/ass

You're brave for agreeing though OP

Hey at least you had the balls to go up there and do it. Most people would shy away from it.

You should confront your teacher about it. He's a dick and that's pretty hurtful. Something should be said about it. Sorry op. that really sucks.

"Professor, you indirectly called me ugly when I know for a fact I'm beautiful. My mother tells me that everyday, but I need you to recognize that too because I depend on reassurance from other people."

51 - I don't think 23 meant it in a "How dare you not recognize my beauty?" sort of way. It sounds to me like they just meant OP should give the teacher a heads-up that those sorts of comments can be taken as rude, even if that's not the intention. I know if I said something that came out rude when I hadn't meant it to, I would want someone to let me know so I wouldn't do it again. Maybe that's just me?

51 Don't be a twat. What the teacher said was wrong. A teacher shouldn't be remarking in a students appearance at all. It's rude to insinuate op looks weird. It's perfectly legitimate to bring to the teachers attention that the comment was hurtful and unnecessary.

60 - Who's to say the teacher didn't mean it in a non-hurtful manner? Just like 2 says

You should tell someone like the principle. That was not called for, your teacher is a dick and should get in trouble. Stay strong gorgeous, I bet you're beautiful! xo

"strange proportions" doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. It just means you aren't a cookie cutter model. No one with average features has ever been extraordinarily beautiful anyway.

The good news is that you are not fat! Fat lardasses represent the new standard proportions. I'm curious: Do you have a midget torso and long spindly legs, or a long torso and Welsh Corgi, stubby legs like Michael Phelps? Or do you have a big, bulbous head?

maybe it was a characature or they drew you differently to how you look as practice..? Otherwise that is mean and take no notice!

I don't think he meant to insult your attractiveness, nor to complement it. I think he just meant exactly what he said. I bet he was fascinated by your proportions in an artistic fashion. Besides, in Moomin Valley, the strangely proportioned Ice Queen is considered almost mythically beautiful. (I tried to insert a link, but it seems FML won't post comments that contain links. Google "Moomin Ice Queen" if you're interested =) )
