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

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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Wow. That's your art teacher? How did she/he get her degree.?? I'm sorry OP. That really does blow. Hopefully you get a chance to make it up.

give a speech about trial and loss and say "if this isn't art, I don't know what is." then walk out of room covering face

19, I've never had the first comment before. So I am a douche bag, even though I haven't done anything wrong to you at all.

I love art, and I think a good artist can save any kind of drawing. Even if its fallen apart you can be creative and make something out of it.

Back in the day, almost all of the first comments were good, I think all that sody pop is getting to you youngsters.

Why r y'all Jumping on #1 case it's his first time as the first comment! If u think u could've done better den you should have commented faster!!
DrDilllonReese 12
No. No, no, no. There should be a rule that nobody comments until a witty first comment has been posted.
blackheart24 10
Thank you doctor. I agree 100%. It's... It's just better that way.

96- I completely agree with you. Its just a comment. I don't understand why people take it so serious. Geez -.-

I'm not totally sure but if the sculpture is made out of the right material it can be remolded if you get it a bit wet

^ This. If your teacher doesn't give you extra time, then it isn't fair because it was her mistake.

Or u could just say "hey you're an idiot. Maybe acid will fix ur brain..." and instead ur teacher will dissolve

This was OP's fault. I'm assuming this sculpture is made of a clay considering the advice from the teacher. OP obviously let it soak for far too long because clay doesn't just dissolve once it touches water. Then again, I suppose it could also just not be clay. It was just the scenario that I thought of.

Well either way, that does suck. Maybe you can create a new one that is even better than the first.

You should have rubbed the edges with a vinegar slip. It is really good for piecing sculptures back together. That's what I use when my sculptures break.

What the teacher probably meant was for OP to get it wet not drown it in water. Most anything I can think of right now that could be stuck back together by dunking In water wouldn't dissolve immediately it would have to be left in running water for a while. Maybe my memory is just bad. Either way it's OP's fault for not know the properties of the material being worked with, it's not the art teachers fault for assuming trying to give helpfull advice.

Water? Elmer's glue that shit

Nevermind that in art, knowing how to work with the medium is just as important as knowing what to do with it.

"bad teacher"
pfx2_fml 15
Sounds to me that the teacher was just trolling their student..
brun12 1
What was it made out of? Seems like you'd know ahead of time what dissolves in water and what doesn't
CareFace 16
"It was an ice sculpture. I was lead to believe water would make ice stick back together." -O.P

Since it was her suggestion, she may let you remake it or do something else.

Wouldnt the teacher know it would dissolve?
GracesDelirium 9
Maybe the teacher is an evil sociopath. You never know nowadays.
maronofhearts 19
It only dissolves if you soak it for too long it's the OPs fault not the teachers
SolanumX 6
This was the teachers way of saying "I really dislike that sculpture. Make a new one."
jtthegr8 26
Your art teacher obviously didn't learn very well...
