“That's nice, but you colored outside of the lines right there.” I peer at the paper. Where? Oh that, up at the turtle's head. I was almost finished. I just got sloppy. “You should really try to stay in the lines ( Read more... )

Art is personal and will rarely be the same for any two people.

Wonderful entry.

I agree. That's part of what really peeved me about that particular teacher.

Thank you!

"...And in the end, Billy drew a picture of a perfect red flower, and handed it to his teacher. Billy's teacher, pleased to see such perfection, noticed a small signature at the bottom of the paper, Expecting to see a florid script of Billy's name, the teacher was aghast to see, scribbled in tiny pencil mark, the words, "Cram it."

Call me inspired. Great post.

HOLY CRAP that is AWESOME!

My tattoo artist had a related experience. His teacher reprimanded him for not choosing *one* medium to work in. So the night before his final he broke into the art room, and made the entire room a *ahem* living work of modern art *ahem* (He totally trashed the place). That was his final college piece. He quit school immediately after (he was almost done, but just lost total respect for his main teacher).

Now he's a world-wide known artist. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed! I thought it was A-work material.

I'm glad it worked out for your artist friend. Did he get busted for trashing it?

merenda January 13 2009, 17:50:35 UTC

Nope, he took off immediately after (as in quit the school and moved...)... :)

Wonderful. For different reasons I can relate to the "D" and the "c" in art class. Smile.

Well the truth of it was that I wasn't very good even with all the extra attention I gave it. *laugh*
