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, 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, 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 took my girlfriend to a beginners’ painting class. She and everyone else was able to produce a painting significantly better than mine, and I got laughed at for my lack of skill. I’ve been painting for twenty-five years. FML

Today, I finally handed my girlfriend a portrait of her. I'm not the best drawer, but I spent weeks on it and I thought it turned out pretty good. When she looked at it, she asked what kind of dog was it. FML

Today, I looked over my next homework assignment for art class. It was to draw a portrait of my best friend. I can't think of anyone besides my mother. FML

Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML

Today, I was putting the finishing touches on my portrait of a young boy in art class. I asked my teacher if she could help correct the bad parts of my portrait. She said, "Well that would take all day and I just don't have the time." She was serious. I thought this was my best work yet. FML

Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." 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

Maybe she just doesn't realize that she's hideous

You could say that you were drawing her inner beauty, not her outer beauty. Maybe she'll get the hint.

Art just isn't for everyone, always room for improvement... maybe

Just say it's subjective. You could have a pile of feces and call it art.

What can then be considered art or not art? Can any whimsical creation be art? Are there measurements of art, like: "This painting is better art than that dog shit?" I Draw the line at feces.

I was poking fun at the 'artists' who take simple objects like a toilet and call it art. I'm an artist myself and I really wouldn't consider it art but hey, it's just my opinion.

I guess provocation is an art, too. It really just feels like a statement, like a big "**** you guys," since artists can take a shit in a box and write their name on it and it becomes a piece of valuable art. Not because of the intrinsic value of the art, but because of the renown of the artist. I feel that this is the opposite of how it should go. Artist famous for quality of the art.
