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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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 the effort to draw a penis on every page in my analysis textbook in pen. I have to return this tomorrow. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

It was probably just meant as a joke. Kids don't always think about their actions before they act them out. He might have thought he'd get a few laughs. Kudos to him for being talented in art, hopefully OP treats the grading professionally and not based on their feelings about said art. A good talk is needed though to explain why this is an inappropriate thing to draw.

If the student addressed the assignment, I don't see a problem. Art is supposed to be a manifestation of raw and explicit human emotion.

depends on your definition of art. comics are considered art, although i dont think archie is "raw and explicit human emotion"

Well, Archie may have felt differently about it. "That Yellow Bastard" on the other hand, is strong stuff.

agreed. pretty much happens to me on a daily basis.

How do you think they get their charcoal?

I wouldn't base the student's grade on the fact that you feel disrespected, but base it on how well drawn it is. And then you can have a little talk with your student about how you feel etc.

Ask him how did he know

I don't understand why some people can't take a joke. If you aren't gay, then just laugh if off. If you are gay, then it's just an awesome way to see if you'd make a cute couple.

The best art is always controversial

Maybe he just ships you two... Though I'm not really into rps but hey whatever... Ask him why he did it.
