Math should be someone you don't really see on her own, but when you look at literally anything else you see her popping up from the incidental lines. She is also surprisingly creative, but demands a lot before you can understand where she is being creative.
@@hades_head_emptycurrently in my hyperbolic geometry phase right now, really wish I knew how to crochet since the classic way of visualizing this non-Euclidean geometry is by crochet model. Apparently it's just an entire piece made of increase stitches so you get something crinkly and growing exponentially like a kale leaf. Hyperbolic geometry is basically defined as "Here's a line and a point not on the line! What if the point was on infinitely many lines parallel to the first line instead of just one?" I am incapable of taking H.P. Lovecraft seriously. Aside from the horrendous racism, he thinks that describing something as "non-Euclidean" automatically makes it scary. While I'm here reading Call of Cthulhu while snuggled in my hyperbolic blanket that I sewed because it's easier than crochet.

More of a threshold guardian than a traditional monster, they'll let you pass once you've figured out the answer, never taunting you or threatening you in the process. Why would they threaten you?

4:50 one right answer, yet every single method that gives you that answer is absolutely correct. Something that freaks me out about it is that all methods do the same thing but represented differently. It could be a great concept for an entity related to math. It can only be defeated by one way, you are free to choose how you will apply it, but the entity knows everything you don't and it will make you suffer by just letting you drown on your own desesperation to find the right method, wich you were using all the time but viewed it as wrong because it always managed to be the same operation differently represented. Calmly turning you apart and representing you as a bunch formulas, deshumanizing you. Simply terrifying.
I'm imagining for a theater/drama monster, they could have 2 heads, one with the comedy mask, and the other with the tragedy mask? Maybe they're wearing an outfit from a traditional school play or something, just some ideas!
Omg science looks adorable!! But it reminds me of a time where I had to dissect a deer heart and I found a bullet- idk why it was in there because the deer died of old age.
i dunno if youve ever read the outsiders, but it would be kinda cool if you did a by the book video on it!! the book descriptions and the actors are quite different!
As a math enthusiast, the fact that you were forced to follow the example is bs. Math (and physics) is like a cobweb. You're given a starting point, and you're given an ending point. Two points on that web. There's tons of different paths you can take. Some are longer than others, but there's always a way to get from where you start to where you're going just with the turns you already know. The fact that they make you take the path they laid out totally kills the wonder of these subjects. Just geeking out. Love the art.
I love that the monster for Science looks curious with their head tilted because Science is all about being curious and figuring out what makes thing tick. Another thing is that I'm learning a lot about American subjects from reading the comments (I live in the EU) for example, the existence of Social Studies and Literature as well as the fact that America doesn't have Physchem (a mixture of physics and chemistry)
I love math's design! As a student who's currently taking geometry, I can confirm that it does feel like there's a spine-chilling monster peering down at you most of the time lol. Hope to see more of these in the future, especially literature or history!
@@Ihate_EelsI’m in geometry right now, thank god I have a great teacher. But we’re doing trigonometry sometime next semester and I don’t even know what it is but people keep talking about it lol
6:23 fun fact, the two dots on the division symbol represent fractions. The top dot is the numerator and the bottom dot is the denumerator. 6:35 glad you found science easy 😊 I’m still very traumatized by the teacher, and I’m still trying to figure out why my drawings of a stentor and euglena that I had to do were so hated despite being an accurate representation. 10:05 usually I’d wear contacts to school, but I lost them. At the end of the day I was exhausted and since it was the end of class I was permitted to rest. However, it was a basketball class that day and I got a ball right in the face. I ended up at the hospital with a broken nose and shards of glass in my right eye, because the ball landed on the right side of my face and broke my glasses in-ward. I also have a story about changing in front of my peers. All the cabins were taken, so I had to change as I was actively transitioning, so everyone knew I was trans by the end of the day and I got ostracized for my entire school experience.
@@SharpScales it’s fine, this happened when I was a teen, I’m well into my late 20’s now and better than ever 💪 thanks for replying tho and making sure I’m alright, it really warms my heart, mate.
Math was the most relatable. Especially when the forced way to solve problems was different than the one described in textbooks. Miss one day, and you already mentally a week behind. Even when I went to my tutor, she struggled to explain to me the required solutions. But after moving to America, I got better at math because in my new school, we were allowed to use the solutions WE understand, as long as work is shown. But my greatest monster in old school wasn't really math, but art. My old teacher never explained to me what I did wrong, just immediately wrote C on every single drawing I did (even when it wasn't messy)
I kinda remember the sciences being split in the highschool I was in, we had biology, chemistry, physics and earth science, then there's also the linguistic classes, which I guess could be one monster unless you'd like to have a monster per language. Also there's the fields of biology if that's another idea.
As a professional being afraider I have many ideas just from the title (I already have existential fear every time i see a physics demonstration and can imagine geometrical multidimensional horrors for maths)
I think for art class it could've been MUCH more creative like a limb or two comprised of cley or wooden joints, wooden specifically because of the representation of wooden reference figures, for the eyes one being comprised of black and white colors with text for pure historical information and the other eye colorful vibrant show of creativity (since we are creating an art CLASS rather than art medium monster) and she could use art supplies like weapons, like for example sharp claws made out of painting items or maybe she has a stomach door in which is a black abyss in which people that have lost the will and enthusiasm for art as a whole will fall within but hey i've never been to art class like that... just thinking of any sort of negative traits the monster could've represented
it would be awesome to see the sub-subjects of each one get turned into monsters, like algebra and geometry and calculus all separate ones, or bio and chem and physics all be their own because these are all pretty broad!!! Love em, the math one is soooo creative :3
Haven’t watched the video, only saw the thumbnail. I love how on their faces there is sort of a slash thing??? It resembles addition , subtraction and multiplication symbols from what I can tell by just looking at it. Very clever. Also they have ruler looking things around them, also their shirts seem to resemble a grid, or atleast that’s what comes to mind looking at them. I really like how you can take an abstract concept like math or an aesthetic and turn it into a concrete concept/ a character that can accurately represent what that concept means. Thank you for your videos, good days to you. Edit: watching the video, I’m at math. I was incorrect in assuming it was subtraction, it makes sense why the sign was slanted, it’s a fraction for division. Still, it’s pretty cool someone can tell what is being communicated when there is no words.
7:00 one of the classes in my school dissect cats... all biology classes dissect a frog, all anatomy classes dissect a cat. all biomedical science classes dissect a sheep's heart
When you made math as a three headed monster I originally though each head was supposed to represent a side of math: algebra, geometry and arithmetic, and I really love the concept, but I do like your concept of the monster too.
Aw man, we also dissected salmon in elementary school & it suuuucked. I sat in a corner, physically sick & overstimulated by the smell, while my teacher berated me over not participating any chance she got. My best friend at the time had some guts thrown onto her face, after her & another girl fought over who would put them on the worksheet & you'd sweat all hell broke loose the moment it hit her face. One of the boys was playing with the egg sac, which was gross. Not great time! Sheep eye dissection in high-school was a lot more fun & a lot less fishy smelling.
I always thought art and maths went perfectly together, as they both are creative for different problems. They were my favourite classes in school, and I never understood the stereotypes of artsy people being bad at math and math kids being uncreative
I remember both being excited and nervous about the dissection section of science class. Iv grown up around dead animals, skulls and bones but I didn’t want to dissect a frog bc they were my favorite animal at the time. No instead of a frog we got baby pigs… so so much worse. Some of the kids even named them. I can still smell the sweet chemical smell mixed with dead pig
I disected a sheeps eye like a few months ago, and i’m in primary school, there was blood and this part where it was kinda like a magnifying glass, and the flesh felt so weird but i loved it! Not traumatised lol. 7:29
To be fair i only took animation as a art class cause i was given a bit more creative liberty than normal art ( Since in regular art classes you would have to do realism and though im all for learning anatomy im not a fan of doing realism )
I can imagine art and science getting on well, maths would be the weird quiet kid. PE is the noisy kid that everyone avoids I’m studying Film, English Literature and Language, and Drama, so I would love to see one of those next
No anatomy in middle or highschool, those art classes very much have stem breathing down it's neck where the classes are either history/political science/social studies classes in disguise, or 'little projects' with a built in 'what a quick and fun *HOBBY* you can do around your *Real Job* ' slant. The teachers of the later are cool and nice and try, but the classes are 110% built with the assumption that you will NOT be making a career out of it, unless that career is 'public school art teacher'. 🙃
Ugh, I hated the dissection thing in school. We were assigned piglets. I got a note from my mom telling the school to let me skip it because of my sensitivity toward animals. I wrote an essay instead.
I’m in Geometry in 8th grade (it’s usually 10th grade math) and yeah, we all hate proofs with every part of our existence. I have an amazing teacher, so the class isn’t as hard as it could be. She’s great at explaining visually, and she’s one of my only teachers who actually understands that I’m autistic. It’s also crazy to realize that I’ll be doing Calculus during most of high school lol
It’s an interesting experience being an art kid and a maths kid cause drawing and art just doesn’t come to people’s minds in maths but in art maths is talked about like a massive impenetrable wall that everyone hates. I personally just find problem solving really fun and today I spent a good hour and a half practicing for the UK national maths challenge and it was really fun just getting more insight into the way the world of maths all links together. I also really enjoy getting to learn new way to manipulate numbers and shapes in maths class (and more weird stuff like infinities and higher dimensions). Obviously cause I’m watching this video I find art super fun as well in sort of the same way. There’s less objective truth but there’s still a big element of problem solving and seeing things fit together well. One thing I don’t like however is English lol. Writing things that don’t have a formula like scientific reports and need to actually sound good is not something I’m good at.
I took an art class in highschool we didn't really focus on anatomy it was more so the basics least in my school not sure how others did it My class tought me about the color wheel, experimenting, knowing that a mistake aint the end of the world and it can actually be a beautiful accident, oh and clay work it was quite fun
Just want to say that your videos are really soothing and I like to watch them on my monitor while animating if noise gets too much. It's probably your voice and the nice speedpaints haha.
I really enjoyed the design of Math in particular, but just wanted to say there are definitely multiple ways to approach a problem in math and different ways that lead to the correct answer. The sad part is people are often forced into one specific order of operations in order to solve a particular kind of a math problem, but i think it would be far more beneficial if people were taught multiple methods and then be able to decide for themselves which of the pathways works for them the best. I've discovered the world of math RUclips recently by a complete accident, and the way americans are being taught math is very different from the way I've been taught. Even just the graphical aspect, the way things are written down, organizing things on the page as you work out the solution, I feel like that's got to be something that impacts a person's ability to learn too. Again. Great video. Fantastic character designs. Sorry for the tangent. 😅
The math monster is ingenious! I love that the short look like a grid for graphics. But I’m kinda sad that physics wasn’t a part of the science monster’s design.
I allways dread language classes for 3 resons. 1 I don't think I previously encounterd a teacher more done with her job. 2 the language I studdy is Polish so... yeah. 3 I allways end up being the only one who gives a shit so when I don't know something then class drowns in okward silenie.
For what it's worth, math is my favorite subject but the way they graded your math sounds ridiculously unfair. If you came to the right answer the way you got to it shouldn't matter, and one of my favorite aspects of math is actually the fact that you can get to the same answer through different means
you talking about math and geometry and algebra made me feel so seen omg, i kinda like algebra because with feels like a puzzle but geometry? i HATE it. also, the way math is black and white because there is only one right answer and it’s all just black and white was so smart
As someone who struggled hard with math, I dig your design. I like the black and white approach in the color scheme: like you said, even more than science, math IS, or it ISN'T. Not a lot of room for debate there. One plus one is ALWAYS going to be two. And yeah, I remember that: show your work! Then they'd be like I have NO idea how, but you used the wrong equation, and still got the right answer? I'm in the background like Oh? Neat. XD
For someone who studies math, I can confidently say that in most cases, you can approach a problem with multiple methods so that you can come to a definitive answer.
The real gym class monsters are the classmates, boy am I glad I'm done with that. I also never needed to dissect things because I was homeschooled for most of elementary/middle school
I want to see a series of a school with all these characters, I think it would be really fun! I'm also curious as to what the english or generally a language class would look like.
Lavendertowne always gives me so much inspiration like the first thing i thought when i saw the thumbnail with the three heads is "i want to make a character like that"
I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a part 2 of this idea. As always, your art is amazing, and I absolutely love how your mind creates such unique creatures.
My favorite ones are art and PE/Gym class. Art looks so cool, and I love how you wanted to make it seem like it was kind of like a god who could make anything. PE is awesome looking, I kinda wanna see a backstory for him 😂 He just looks like he would be an epic character
7:32 I actually skipped the frog dissection, my high school for my first two years didn’t have it. The school I finished my high school did though. Luckily I wasn’t a freshman there, I took anatomy though so we had to dissect fetal pigs. A girl actually threw up during that but kept going…
UGH the hands on the art monster are so BEAUTIFUL (especially the one on the right) I was jump-scared. Love when you take random things and design them into humans/monsters! Definitely agree abt the geometry comment, always loved how straight forward algebra was.
I feel like not only he madness and amounts of work in art classes can be a bit overwhelming and monstrous. But also the stress of being aware that you’re being graded in art and styles you have never done. The amount of pressure some people put in making their art perfect can be overwhelming. Idk it’s from my personal experience but who else is with me?
I had art classes as a part of the educative program during secondary school, it was a economy centered school, so creative stuff wasn't really that important, but we still had art because idk. My worst fear during those classes was the white canvas, we were allowed to do literally anything as long as it contained whatever we were studying at the time, vanguardism for example, and there was only one themed class, and only one still life class (as a part of a cubism class), so yeah, starting any painting or drawing was always the worst, I would just be staring at the paper for hours without knowing where to start.
Half of High School Art class is making abstract art with unfamiliar metierals, the other half is drawing realistic pictures based off of photos. If you take any of the more specialized classes like painting or drawing then it's almost exclusively the latter.
it would repeat some concepts but i think it would be a cool idea to do a set of characters based around stem/steam. like maybe leaning more into different representations from eras in time like a Renascence artist, a classical mathematician, and so on. idk just an idea
at my school, we have two connection periods [connections are like art and gym] so the music classes are the only year round ones and the other ones cycle throughout the school year so to avoid any chance of being put in gym i just do band for both classses
These are all great and look amazing! Had i done the same general ideas for the monsters i would've made the art monster white at base with all the paints mixing into various other colors (a lot more time consuming) The math monster i wouldve instead done addition, multiplication, and exponents (as between those three things you get most math functions) The science monster needs backround explosions (as well as some dangerous chemical compounds because shes a monster) And for PE... well thats already horrifying and doesnt need anything added on. This isnt ment to be mean or rude, im just trying to express an analysis with the possibility of feedback on the idea. Ive been watching you (lavendertown) for quite a while and truly admire the great vast majority of your art (i dont like dealing in absolutes) and wish only the best for you.

Bringing back school memories..
oh i was forced to read that for english! dally x coyotito for life /j
It hurts
i wanna see part 2, like home ec, history, language arts/literature, maybe even music or theater class
I love the backround music at 2:32😍
my favorite is the science creature, i actually really like the little dna strands. Biology is very interesting to me.
As a math enthusiast, the fact that you were forced to follow the example is bs. Math (and physics) is like a cobweb. You're given a starting point, and you're given an ending point. Two points on that web. There's tons of different paths you can take. Some are longer than others, but there's always a way to get from where you start to where you're going just with the turns you already know. The fact that they make you take the path they laid out totally kills the wonder of these subjects.
Just geeking out. Love the art.
I love that the monster for Science looks curious with their head tilted because Science is all about being curious and figuring out what makes thing tick. Another thing is that I'm learning a lot about American subjects from reading the comments (I live in the EU) for example, the existence of Social Studies and Literature as well as the fact that America doesn't have Physchem (a mixture of physics and chemistry)
I love math's design! As a student who's currently taking geometry, I can confirm that it does feel like there's a spine-chilling monster peering down at you most of the time lol. Hope to see more of these in the future, especially literature or history!
Geometry was a nightmare last year, I think the Trig unit was the hardest.
@@Ihate_EelsI’m in geometry right now, thank god I have a great teacher. But we’re doing trigonometry sometime next semester and I don’t even know what it is but people keep talking about it lol
6:23 fun fact, the two dots on the division symbol represent fractions. The top dot is the numerator and the bottom dot is the denumerator.
6:35 glad you found science easy 😊 I’m still very traumatized by the teacher, and I’m still trying to figure out why my drawings of a stentor and euglena that I had to do were so hated despite being an accurate representation.
10:05 usually I’d wear contacts to school, but I lost them.
At the end of the day I was exhausted and since it was the end of class I was permitted to rest. However, it was a basketball class that day and I got a ball right in the face. I ended up at the hospital with a broken nose and shards of glass in my right eye, because the ball landed on the right side of my face and broke my glasses in-ward.
I also have a story about changing in front of my peers. All the cabins were taken, so I had to change as I was actively transitioning, so everyone knew I was trans by the end of the day and I got ostracized for my entire school experience.
That's horrible! I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, hope you're doing well now though!
@@SharpScales it’s fine, this happened when I was a teen, I’m well into my late 20’s now and better than ever 💪 thanks for replying tho and making sure I’m alright, it really warms my heart, mate.
pls do a part two, id be so curious to see what you come up with for history or literature
Math was the most relatable. Especially when the forced way to solve problems was different than the one described in textbooks. Miss one day, and you already mentally a week behind. Even when I went to my tutor, she struggled to explain to me the required solutions. But after moving to America, I got better at math because in my new school, we were allowed to use the solutions WE understand, as long as work is shown. But my greatest monster in old school wasn't really math, but art. My old teacher never explained to me what I did wrong, just immediately wrote C on every single drawing I did (even when it wasn't messy)
I love ur art style, Ive been watching ur vids for ages now and they don’t seem repetitive even after all this time
this is such a cool concept, love the ideas! high school is scarier than anything we could draw 😂
Math looks like an ENA character, that's so cool
3:53 Subtraction was subtracted from this equation
I kinda remember the sciences being split in the highschool I was in, we had biology, chemistry, physics and earth science, then there's also the linguistic classes, which I guess could be one monster unless you'd like to have a monster per language. Also there's the fields of biology if that's another idea.
As a professional being afraider I have many ideas just from the title (I already have existential fear every time i see a physics demonstration and can imagine geometrical multidimensional horrors for maths)
That maths character gives me anxiety, well made 👍
School subjects being monster's is just perfect, even just school in general
Art one is so cool. And math was definitely a monster to me, i was having more panic attacks because of it and was in a constant battle for promotion
Math doesn't even need to be a monster to haunt our dreams
Real 😭
I think for art class it could've been MUCH more creative
like a limb or two comprised of cley or wooden joints, wooden specifically because of the representation of wooden reference figures, for the eyes one being comprised of black and white colors with text for pure historical information and the other eye colorful vibrant show of creativity (since we are creating an art CLASS rather than art medium monster)
and she could use art supplies like weapons, like for example sharp claws made out of painting items or maybe she has a stomach door in which is a black abyss in which people that have lost the will and enthusiasm for art as a whole will fall within
but hey i've never been to art class like that... just thinking of any sort of negative traits the monster could've represented
I’d love to see a part 2 of this. I feel like there’s a LOT of interesting directions you could take with History as a monster design.
it would be awesome to see the sub-subjects of each one get turned into monsters, like algebra and geometry and calculus all separate ones, or bio and chem and physics all be their own because these are all pretty broad!!! Love em, the math one is soooo creative :3
Haven’t watched the video, only saw the thumbnail. I love how on their faces there is sort of a slash thing??? It resembles addition , subtraction and multiplication symbols from what I can tell by just looking at it.
Very clever.
Also they have ruler looking things around them, also their shirts seem to resemble a grid, or atleast that’s what comes to mind looking at them.
I really like how you can take an abstract concept like math or an aesthetic and turn it into a concrete concept/ a character that can accurately represent what that concept means.
Thank you for your videos, good days to you.
Edit: watching the video, I’m at math. I was incorrect in assuming it was subtraction, it makes sense why the sign was slanted, it’s a fraction for division.
Still, it’s pretty cool someone can tell what is being communicated when there is no words.
7:00 one of the classes in my school dissect cats... all biology classes dissect a frog, all anatomy classes dissect a cat. all biomedical science classes dissect a sheep's heart
The art class gives me
" MOVE OUT OF MY WAY GAY BOI , IM ABOUT TO ASCEND OUT OF THIS MORAL SHELL !!!!!!!!! "
energy
When you made math as a three headed monster I originally though each head was supposed to represent a side of math: algebra, geometry and arithmetic, and I really love the concept, but I do like your concept of the monster too.
Aw man, we also dissected salmon in elementary school & it suuuucked. I sat in a corner, physically sick & overstimulated by the smell, while my teacher berated me over not participating any chance she got. My best friend at the time had some guts thrown onto her face, after her & another girl fought over who would put them on the worksheet & you'd sweat all hell broke loose the moment it hit her face. One of the boys was playing with the egg sac, which was gross. Not great time!
Sheep eye dissection in high-school was a lot more fun & a lot less fishy smelling.
Another vid to prove that school stands for “seven crappy hours of my life”
It's five hours for me, since I have a shortened day.
@@ThatMemerDude89lucky you 😭
wait did I miss a memo when was school changed to schoml? /j
I love these concepts, the characters fit so well with their designs!
I always thought art and maths went perfectly together, as they both are creative for different problems. They were my favourite classes in school, and I never understood the stereotypes of artsy people being bad at math and math kids being uncreative
2:09 is it just me or do I love characters with a black base and then a crap ton of colors on top XD it just looks so cool in my opinion :D
This is the best video when your science teacher, for the first time in the history of all your Sci classes, is actually a monster.
I remember both being excited and nervous about the dissection section of science class. Iv grown up around dead animals, skulls and bones but I didn’t want to dissect a frog bc they were my favorite animal at the time. No instead of a frog we got baby pigs… so so much worse. Some of the kids even named them. I can still smell the sweet chemical smell mixed with dead pig
I disected a sheeps eye like a few months ago, and i’m in primary school, there was blood and this part where it was kinda like a magnifying glass, and the flesh felt so weird but i loved it! Not traumatised lol. 7:29
I threw some of the flesh at my squeamish friend, and it was very funny
To be fair i only took animation as a art class cause i was given a bit more creative liberty than normal art
( Since in regular art classes you would have to do realism and though im all for learning anatomy im not a fan of doing realism )
I can imagine art and science getting on well, maths would be the weird quiet kid. PE is the noisy kid that everyone avoids
I’m studying Film, English Literature and Language, and Drama, so I would love to see one of those next
With science being my favorite subject, I have to say I LOVE what you created! She looks perfect!
No anatomy in middle or highschool, those art classes very much have stem breathing down it's neck where the classes are either history/political science/social studies classes in disguise, or 'little projects' with a built in 'what a quick and fun *HOBBY* you can do around your *Real Job* ' slant. The teachers of the later are cool and nice and try, but the classes are 110% built with the assumption that you will NOT be making a career out of it, unless that career is 'public school art teacher'. 🙃
Ugh, I hated the dissection thing in school. We were assigned piglets. I got a note from my mom telling the school to let me skip it because of my sensitivity toward animals. I wrote an essay instead.
I’m in Geometry in 8th grade (it’s usually 10th grade math) and yeah, we all hate proofs with every part of our existence. I have an amazing teacher, so the class isn’t as hard as it could be. She’s great at explaining visually, and she’s one of my only teachers who actually understands that I’m autistic.
It’s also crazy to realize that I’ll be doing Calculus during most of high school lol
Visually when all of them are put together, it looks like three gods and one crazy kid
It’s an interesting experience being an art kid and a maths kid cause drawing and art just doesn’t come to people’s minds in maths but in art maths is talked about like a massive impenetrable wall that everyone hates. I personally just find problem solving really fun and today I spent a good hour and a half practicing for the UK national maths challenge and it was really fun just getting more insight into the way the world of maths all links together. I also really enjoy getting to learn new way to manipulate numbers and shapes in maths class (and more weird stuff like infinities and higher dimensions). Obviously cause I’m watching this video I find art super fun as well in sort of the same way. There’s less objective truth but there’s still a big element of problem solving and seeing things fit together well. One thing I don’t like however is English lol. Writing things that don’t have a formula like scientific reports and need to actually sound good is not something I’m good at.
I took an art class in highschool we didn't really focus on anatomy it was more so the basics least in my school not sure how others did it
My class tought me about the color wheel, experimenting, knowing that a mistake aint the end of the world and it can actually be a beautiful accident, oh and clay work it was quite fun
Just want to say that your videos are really soothing and I like to watch them on my monitor while animating if noise gets too much. It's probably your voice and the nice speedpaints haha.
I really enjoyed the design of Math in particular, but just wanted to say there are definitely multiple ways to approach a problem in math and different ways that lead to the correct answer.
The sad part is people are often forced into one specific order of operations in order to solve a particular kind of a math problem, but i think it would be far more beneficial if people were taught multiple methods and then be able to decide for themselves which of the pathways works for them the best.
I've discovered the world of math RUclips recently by a complete accident, and the way americans are being taught math is very different from the way I've been taught. Even just the graphical aspect, the way things are written down, organizing things on the page as you work out the solution, I feel like that's got to be something that impacts a person's ability to learn too.
Again. Great video. Fantastic character designs. Sorry for the tangent. 😅
second! Also, your art helped me to continue my hobby of art, so i just need to thank you for inspiring my creativity ❤️
The math monster is ingenious! I love that the short look like a grid for graphics. But I’m kinda sad that physics wasn’t a part of the science monster’s design.
A post with lavender! So glad I could be one of the first people here- love your monster designs, Lavender!
I allways dread language classes for 3 resons. 1 I don't think I previously encounterd a teacher more done with her job. 2 the language I studdy is Polish so... yeah. 3 I allways end up being the only one who gives a shit so when I don't know something then class drowns in okward silenie.
youll always be my favorite artist of all time 😭
For what it's worth, math is my favorite subject but the way they graded your math sounds ridiculously unfair. If you came to the right answer the way you got to it shouldn't matter, and one of my favorite aspects of math is actually the fact that you can get to the same answer through different means
you talking about math and geometry and algebra made me feel so seen omg, i kinda like algebra because with feels like a puzzle but geometry? i HATE it. also, the way math is black and white because there is only one right answer and it’s all just black and white was so smart
As someone who struggled hard with math, I dig your design. I like the black and white approach in the color scheme: like you said, even more than science, math IS, or it ISN'T. Not a lot of room for debate there. One plus one is ALWAYS going to be two. And yeah, I remember that: show your work! Then they'd be like I have NO idea how, but you used the wrong equation, and still got the right answer? I'm in the background like Oh? Neat. XD
For someone who studies math, I can confidently say that in most cases, you can approach a problem with multiple methods so that you can come to a definitive answer.
The real gym class monsters are the classmates, boy am I glad I'm done with that. I also never needed to dissect things because I was homeschooled for most of elementary/middle school
I want to see a series of a school with all these characters, I think it would be really fun! I'm also curious as to what the english or generally a language class would look like.
Lavendertowne always gives me so much inspiration like the first thing i thought when i saw the thumbnail with the three heads is "i want to make a character like that"
"I didn't add subtraction. "
Well, no. By definition you wouldn't.
geometry literally made me cry myself to sleep i hated math
Lavendertowne be makin’ BADDIES dawg
That's math in its 1st form, taunting you with a mere fraction of its true power
I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a part 2 of this idea. As always, your art is amazing, and I absolutely love how your mind creates such unique creatures.
My favorite ones are art and PE/Gym class. Art looks so cool, and I love how you wanted to make it seem like it was kind of like a god who could make anything. PE is awesome looking, I kinda wanna see a backstory for him 😂 He just looks like he would be an epic character
9:02 LOOKS LIKE OH SANGWOO FROM KILLING STALKING BOOK COVER 😮
7:32 I actually skipped the frog dissection, my high school for my first two years didn’t have it. The school I finished my high school did though. Luckily I wasn’t a freshman there, I took anatomy though so we had to dissect fetal pigs. A girl actually threw up during that but kept going…
UGH the hands on the art monster are so BEAUTIFUL (especially the one on the right) I was jump-scared. Love when you take random things and design them into humans/monsters! Definitely agree abt the geometry comment, always loved how straight forward algebra was.
I love all of them so much! Especially P.E, he reminds me of a certain character from Paranoia Agent lol
Why do I feel like the science and art monster/creature would be best friends ❤
Imagen these guys being your teachers at school like some cool but twisted Harry Potter like boarding school :)
I feel like not only he madness and amounts of work in art classes can be a bit overwhelming and monstrous. But also the stress of being aware that you’re being graded in art and styles you have never done. The amount of pressure some people put in making their art perfect can be overwhelming. Idk it’s from my personal experience but who else is with me?
I had art classes as a part of the educative program during secondary school, it was a economy centered school, so creative stuff wasn't really that important, but we still had art because idk. My worst fear during those classes was the white canvas, we were allowed to do literally anything as long as it contained whatever we were studying at the time, vanguardism for example, and there was only one themed class, and only one still life class (as a part of a cubism class), so yeah, starting any painting or drawing was always the worst, I would just be staring at the paper for hours without knowing where to start.
Half of High School Art class is making abstract art with unfamiliar metierals, the other half is drawing realistic pictures based off of photos. If you take any of the more specialized classes like painting or drawing then it's almost exclusively the latter.
ah thank you for correctly portraying my chemistry teacher as a demon
it would repeat some concepts but i think it would be a cool idea to do a set of characters based around stem/steam. like maybe leaning more into different representations from eras in time like a Renascence artist, a classical mathematician, and so on. idk just an idea
Love these designs! Love how well the colors popped for Art Class. Such an awesome video :)
at my school, we have two connection periods [connections are like art and gym]
so the music classes are the only year round ones
and the other ones cycle throughout the school year
so to avoid any chance of being put in gym
i just
do band for both classses
These are all great and look amazing!
Had i done the same general ideas for the monsters i would've made the art monster white at base with all the paints mixing into various other colors (a lot more time consuming)
The math monster i wouldve instead done addition, multiplication, and exponents (as between those three things you get most math functions)
The science monster needs backround explosions (as well as some dangerous chemical compounds because shes a monster)
And for PE... well thats already horrifying and doesnt need anything added on.
This isnt ment to be mean or rude, im just trying to express an analysis with the possibility of feedback on the idea. Ive been watching you (lavendertown) for quite a while and truly admire the great vast majority of your art (i dont like dealing in absolutes) and wish only the best for you.
I would love to see a continuation of this series!!💖 Like with English, history, languages, etc.
I feel like the art class monster is more kind than evil, and that if they did do anything bad it was more then likely a mistake
