Today, my sculpture, which is very important for my art grade, fell from my desk and broke to pieces. My art teacher suggested I soak the parts in water to make it easier to stick them back together. They dissolved. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I accidentally dropped a sculpture at college, and it broke. Some weirdo wearing a pink cape and a fake moustache bitched me out and told me not to be such an attention-seeking drama queen. FML
Today, after spending eight weeks making a life-size clay Cocker Spaniel in class. I left it in the middle of a large table in the empty art classroom, ready to paint, and went to the bathroom for a minute. I came back to see two young girls shiftily running out of said classroom, walked in and it was in shards on the floor. FML
Today, my garage was flooded. Everything was ruined. My garage also happens to be my study, in which my entire art coursework was drying. My exam is tomorrow and all I have to hand in is a pile of mushy paper. FML
Today, at work, I dropped a dried giant millipede specimen. Horrible little legs went everywhere. Now I need to glue it back together. 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, in art class, I tried to attract my crush's attention by slowly sitting down in front of him. Too bad I missed the chair and fell onto the floor. FML
Today, I accidentally broke a vase. When I was clearing it up, I used my bare hand to sweep up the shards without thinking. I'm still fishing pieces of broken glass out of my hand. FML
Today, I created a 3D sculpture for a competition that I was hoping might impress some people, and maybe lead to a job with a particular company. I finished it last night for the competition, but this morning I realised it’s too big to get it out of my front door without taking it apart. FML
Today, while washing dishes for my friend, I managed to break an unbreakable glass and slice my hand open on it. FML
Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

Do you have time to remake it? If not your art teacher should understand. She was the one who suggested you soak them in water.

I just had two projects I need to pass my ceramics class explode because someone else's project blew up in the kiln

Tell your teacher what happened. They will likely give you time to remake it.

Hahahahahahaha. Well at least now the teacher is partly accountable.

Your teacher sucks. I'm assuming you were using clay? Past a certain point in the drying process, putting the clay in water will only make it dissolve. If it shattered, your sculpture was most likely past this point and glue would have been your best bet. I had a great teacher who actually taught me those things.

I am assuming this is clay. But the teacher and you should have known it would that.

Now that is just unfortunate.

What a bad art teacher if they didn't even know how it could be fixed with out messing it up

A subtle and finicky art. But rewarding, none the less.

So why exactly didn't you use glue? Water isn't a goddam adhesive...
GracesDelirium 9
Water can make the material malleable again. But yes, glue probably would've been better.

I suppose but it would also make it smooth and lose it's shape depending how long it's been dry. Hell why not use duct tape...

Duct tape is the solution to everything, after all. Annoying mother-in-law? DUCT TAPE! Broken project? DUCT TAPE! Rat in your toilet? DUCT TAPE! Well, er...maybe not the last one.

I assume you worked with clay, which I haven't worked with in years, but if I had to guess, I'd say you were only supposed to soak the parts you were putting together. Why would you have to soak the whole piece? That sounds silly.

Maybe your art teacher shouldn't be an art teacher then...
