o rly?
So ... last final was today, and i have a funny tale to tell about my second to last final, intro to art
Sooooooooooooooooo .... i was a bit late to it etc, but i was under the distinct impression that we were to just drop off our portfolios etc, turns out we were going to look at everyone's final art pieces and talk about them. So i put mine up, no big whoop ... and then i ask my art teacher if she would like me to also put up my extra credit.
She said sure.
i pull it out (its a picture of colin and rune i drew and was in the middle of coloring with markers. Its a good pic i think ... rune actually looks manly >.> )
She looks at it for a second and says no ... it doesnt fit the criteria.
im wondering wtf ... teh criteria for extra credit is art you have been doing other than the hwk and assignments.
then ensues the long conversation she has with the class about how "cartooning" is not real art.
thats right ... she said cartooning is not real art as she stared right at me.
she went on about how sure lots of other people may regard it as being real art, but just because everyone says it is doesnt make it so *not realizing the fact that her very statement could be used against her at the same time*. About how sure you could draw like that and yah be really good at it, but at some point you need to step it up and advance into real art. Yes there are people out there who are amazing in their field, but they decided to stay in that childish spot instead of pushing themselves and taking it further. Cartooning is not real art and we shouldn't decieve ourselves with thinking that we are doing great art when we are only doing cartooning.
yah my teacher's an ass >.>
