I had an art professor in college that targeted me. It was because I was shy and quiet. I had a friend that pretty much called him out in class and he never bothered me again.
when a teacher doesn't like you, you have two options: he will just treat you badly, or he will treat you badly and harm you. I was a good student for all the teachers, I didn't get low grades, but I didn't get the highest grades in the classroom either. I did not disrespect the teachers, did not talk during classes and did all the homework. I was neutral. But in middle school, my math teacher started to hate me. in short, she asked me to do things that other students didn't need to do, she asked me to go and solve questions on the board every day (I was very shy in front of the class). one day, when she wrote questions on the board and we had to copy, as soon as she finished, she came to check my notebook, and I still hadn't finished copying (just like the other students). she yelled at me and humiliated me in front of everyone, saying that I was lazy and etc. and also wrote a huge message for my parents to read. It was hell. I was already a shy person, after that, I developed panic attacks and a little social phobia. i almost failed, my math scores were extremely low because of the fear i felt from her, i could no longer concentrate on her classes. but I passed the final exams and THANKS TO GOD went to high school. note: wow, I received so many likes and comments, thank you so much!!! but you don't even know the worst: in the first year of high school, my math teacher started doing the same things as my math teacher from middle school, and one of the times he asked me to solve questions on the board I had to kneel to finish writing at the bottom of the board (im 1.80) and he said: "can you see? this is the position of women in front of men"
I'm glad you got out of that! I feel like math teachers can be kinda sadistic. I had a horrible math teacher in middle school. I really liked math but I eventually started failing her class because she sucked at teaching and was really mean to me but the last straw was that she yelled at me & said maybe I was just failing her class because I'm bilingual ???? She said me speaking a different language prevented me from understanding her. I didn't know what to do to make her fuck off so I ended up just telling my mom lmao. It sucked and I hate teachers who put students on the spot like your teacher did to you. Especially if someone is shy because they're just gonna make shit worse.
@@karlabunns IM SORRY FOR YOU. I also told my mom, but she believed in the things that my teacher said and punished me several times. today she regrets it, but anyway, it’s not like you can go back in time.
oof thas harsh. I have a same teacher when I was in 6th grade and he's so strict and make personal jokes about his students. Whenever we have tests and we have the results, he will make us stand and he'll say a number that is on the test for example; who got 30, ( you'll sit down ) and if you're the on who's standing that means you're the only one who got the lowest score and he'll make fun of you or he'll say, "are you even listening to my lessons?" So everytime math period comes, it will always give me anxiety. 6th grade made me an anxious person probably because he's also our adviser
sebaschan I actually had a math teacher who was just like that. Not to me, but to my brother. We both had her, but both our experiences were different. I absolutely HATE it when teachers choose certain student(s) to bully or nitpick.
I am so sorry for you! I hope your doing better now! My 9th grade math teacher was the worst. I was also the quiet kid who did everything the teachers told me and got good grades. My other teachers after I was done with work they let me draw. Drawing helped me a lot in class. So when I was in math I was done with work and got 100% and thought I would draw on a piece of paper. I looked up a picture(a dog, yeah just a dog) and she yelled at me and gave me a citation. But this makes it worse, the kid in front of me didn’t do his work and was playing games, which wasn’t allowed and she didn’t even tell him to get off. I don’t know she didn’t like me. I literally just did my work.
dude if i were to be a teacher and see a student doodling id encourage them to doodle something related to what im teaching,and or just encourage them anyways, like come on thatll just make them quit :/
I had a friend in art school that was super advanced at anatomy compared to the others and really passionate about western comics. He was pretty good with environmental art as well as creating different dynamic expressions and portraits. We had one teacher that even the other teachers knew was a pretty crazy person and everybody was sorta not liking or wishing they would not wind up in her class. She was always paranoid and forcing every kid to stand up and salute her each to they saw her and she forcefully wanted everyone to think that she is a great artist instead of letting people discovering it on their own. She taught painting, but even though it was meant to be study type painting, she would just tell everyone that they should experiment instead, but even then, she constantly painted over everyone's work with what she thought was interesting and would actually ruin people's paintings sometimes, then give them a bad grade. My friend was just a regular guy that had a sense of humor, but he was respectful and didn't make bad jokes or make them to the face of the teacher, but I am guessing his demeanor was simply a past trauma or something of the teacher. So she actually gave him such a bad grade because something of hers got missing and she blamed the kids in the class (even though you can't say that the whole class is crazy and you're not, my opinion) and in the end that bad grade in any of the art classes meant getting expelled. She was always tellin him that he wasn't a good artist and he didn't belong in art school before, even though the other teachers considered the actual opposite. And when that teacher was against him and wanted him expelled, a lot of the teachers jumped in for him, but he gave up on art because of her words and accepted the wrong punishment just so that it would be over. Later the teacher found what she lost and it just fell behind a piece of furniture. She told the other people that used to know him, but it was too late. A teacher should never discourage their own students, or feel disdain towards them. The connection they have with their students is what evolves or devolves their students.
@@thucanbui1731 he is still drawing for himself, but he didn't improve super much since then and doesn't like talking about an art career or anything of the sort.
Imagine being so bitter (or I guess senile) to become an art “teacher” to spend your days tearing apart young people’s dreams to try and give your insecure self a little sense of validation. So disgusting and sad these people can get themselves into institutions and roles that are supposed to encourage young students.
@@herpaderpz artists can become teachers all day with a course of teaching, only that since they are used to treating everybody like competition from their way of making money, they treat the students that way.
Teachers who discourage your interests and actively work to belittle their students based on their own biases are the worst kind of bullies. A teacher should be a nurturing and safe adult in the lives of their students.
Many teachers are failed artists themselves, they could only get a job as teacher and become bitter over the years, and project their hate of art onto people who they see are better at art than themselves.
Almost. I actually almost failed. But goddamn I am so lucky. I have learned that I really need to release my fear of failure upon an art piece so I would not take so long to come up with something.
My history teacher took away my sketchbook and started looking trough it while showing it to the class. He then started pointing out stuff he didn't like and said he could draw better. I am so happy i don't have history anymore lol.
That sounds horrible but I would have asked to see him draw XD I drew better than my highschool teacher and she shut up real quick after the whole class realizied how "skilled" she was. Just cuz I liked cartoons she assumed thats all I could do XD
@@nerdycurls6253 oop sorry I misread that, sorry bout' that. ( I thought that the art teacher said that they could draw better when it's literally there job and nothing to be proud of)
Ironic enough, my art teacher picked on me in high school too and tried to fail me. She made me so miserable in her class that after a while I couldn't look at any of my art supplies because I felt like such a failure. A part of me died because of her. As a person who grew up expressing myself through my art all the time, I couldn't look at any of my sketch pads or paints for almost two years and I only now started trying to get myself back into doing what I love. Wish me luck guys! I'm rooting for all of you, don't let them discourage or change you ever! God bless❤
Well, the only advice I can give you: Ignore any teacher that says "You'll never pass", and also ignore all the teachers that say "If you don't do well in school now...you'll never succeed in life! You'll have a horrible, minimum wage job and be miserable". They're lying. I have friends who have 'lame' jobs, and friends who have 'awesome' careers, and friends right in the middle. You know what all of them have in common? A good life, with friends, family, children, hobbies, etc. Hell, three of my high school friends dropped out; one works for the Yukon Government, one has traveled the world, lived in China and learned Tai-Chi from a master, found a wife, and now lives back in Canada, teaching Tai-Chi, and one more friend (one of my best friends) owns and operates his own business dealing with heavy-duty construction. .. Getting good grades will only HELP you...but getting bad grades doesn't really have a huge impact, job/career wise, if you apply yourself and learn on-the-job well. .. PS: Go into Trades! Carpentry, plumbing, electrician, mechanics, etc. You want a high paying job with a solid future and personal satisfaction every day you get home? ...Go Do Trades!
When I was 13-14 I found out I was relativity good at copying images and for the first few months my grandma, uncle and a few other family members seemed to think I was lying and was actually tracing but that all changed on day when I sat down at my grandma's and decided to draw the flowers painted on her lamp vase right in front of her lol
I definitely had teachers in public school that felt like anime wasn't an art style and would fail them if they used it or teachers that would "help" students by drawing something on their project for them and that student would get a higher grade. I felt it was a lot of bull and I often butt heads with my teachers because at that age I wasn't afraid of speaking my mind haha. I am glad this experience though hasn't put you off on what you know you wanted to do and I am always excited to see your videos, see your work and listen to your experiences
@@Nonexistent_creature I mean it's not really about whenever it's an art style or not. In order to learn how to draw you should always start with realism first - because once you've got all those fundamentals, you will know how to simplify it and draw in any style you want - and do it well. Teachers mean well when they tell you to not draw in a certain style. Takes you out of your comfort zone, teaches you the right habits and most importantly shows you how to draw from observation. Trust me, it's really easy to get sucked into drawing things a certain way and later on literally having no idea how to fix it - but if you know how to observe your subject well, you will be able to draw anything just by looking at it, and later do the same thing from memory too.
and just to be clear I'm not saying that teachers that bully students into submission are good! you can draw whatever the hell you want if you just do it as a hobby, but I'd say if you wanna get serious about it, it's really worth learning how to draw from observation first and then search for your own style
Oof that art teacher def sounds really shitty to deal with, I would love to hear about your worst commission experience cuz I remember you mentioning it in one of your sketchbook tours, love the recent vids keep it up💕🥺👏
I thought about talking about it but also realized that it might be a touchy subject lmao x'D maybe I'll figure out how to talk about it eventually haha
This was a breath of fresh air. We have all had that one art teacher. And their voice tries to become the cynic that follows us around for life. The way you combated that cynic and the way you exude your confidence is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
I had the same thing happen. Everyone loved this art teacher because he let you eat in class and he played music, but to me, he was the devil. We had this weird schedule where we only had certain classes twice a week for 30 minutes, and he would assign these really cool pieces but not let us take our work outside of class. Dunno why. I vividly remember him assigning a poster sized (like 20x30") POINTELISM piece. We had to finish it in 2 classes. Everyone else just put random dots on their pieces and got As, but i actually wanted to try real pointelism, so I only got a small corner really "done". I BEGGED him for more time but he just wrote on the front of it in red ink "F". He wrote on all my artwork like that. He even drew a character on one in red ink as a "suggestion". He failed me. It took a long time to feel like a real artist again.
What she did was WRONG and you have every right to be angry. You can and should examine and look at 'both sides' of issues,however it can be VERY detrimental to justify others being abusive towards you whatever the 'reason'. Being unacceptably cruel to anyone is just that 'unacceptably cruel'. Also it seems like she was jealous of anyone more skilled/talented than her at art and was being aggressive and discouraging out of envy. So I would be enraged as well. I'm glad you can look back and talk about it now without becoming too upset. I'm also glad you didn't give up on art! I love how you used the random blobs to make characters! Great video, thanks.
surprisingly, im one of the lucky ones. our high school art teacher, shes like, the Gordon Ramsay of art, she always points out mistakes, even when its small, and while everyone, including my friends, gets yelled at for the littlest things, i get complements and get treated like an angel idk why, im not even good
My art teacher this year hates me. I am good at what i'm doing and everytime she trys to give me a unreasonable grate i ask for constructive criticism. Then she pinpoints small details. If i change them the next time she still complains. I learned to trust my instinct and not a women who obviously dosen't like me. Its honestly important to know that not every teacher has your best interest in mind. Thank you for sharing your story. Its in some way good to know that i am not alone with this.
Wow, that's another 'awful art teacher' story. I'm really starting to wonder, if I was the only one, who was literally loved by my art teachers? I mean, I barely have any of my school artworks left, because they often asked me if they could keep it to use it as an example for future classes. And it got even more extreme when I got into anime style. Though, in my country it's called 'Manga' style and the colored manga pages and covers had a bigger impact on the kids here than anime (though, anime were pretty common here since the 70s, those were more tailored for the international market though). At a certain point I even started to stretch the boundaries of the assigned guidelines (and I often had to explain my interpretation), I always got my A grades. Maybe it's a question of nationality? I live in Germany, and comic/manga/anime was prestent in one way or the other for decades here. Maybe it's because we could only do our assignments in class, so cheating was impossible. Or because my high schools major was science and linguistics (and considered one of the most difficult high schools of the country back then), so my teachers were happy to finally have an artist in their class? Though it was no different in elementary school for me. Or maybe it's the time and age. I'm 33 now, so my school days are quite some time ago. And I shifted to anime style in 1998/99, when Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball etc were pretty new in free TV.
@Olga Hein I actually love my art teacher aswell but I’m pretty lucky because the other art teacher for my year was the biggest problem for my friends who were in her class. She would keep you on a specific project for half of the year when it should’ve only taken a week or so and teach you the most useless childish stuff, then when my friends and I started our GCSE year we really needed to get good marks and my friends were put in that teacher’s class and she only showed up for a few weeks at the start and then she just stopped coming into school and no one saw her for the rest of the year and then we found out she was retiring. My friends wasted a whole year with sub teachers and aren’t getting the best marks they deserve because of that. That’s I feel like I’m lucky, my art class was pretty small and all of us have a close family-like relationship with our teacher, even the boys who like to cause trouble and waste their time in classes, respect her. I feel really bad for all the people that have had such bad experiences with art teachers, they should be treated like that because it was really chip away at confidence and self esteem and make you feel like your trapped, which is not ideal for anyone who wants to do art.
I had two art teachers one year and the digital one disliked me. Like I knew how to do digital art and I expressed my enthusiasm to her. But I was put with the new students and she made me feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about of that I didn’t know anything about digital art (mind you I really didn’t learn anything new from this class). She took away my art stuff and would try to call on me when she thought I wasn’t paying attention to embarrass me (it didn’t work dkdndndn). I complained to the guidance counselor and she ended up changing the class structure. She wasn’t happy about it. She killed any motivation I had to digital art but I grew in traditional art.
as far as i remember of me, myself and highschool i always hide in the back (what is kinda hard because i am tall) and try to draw some pinterest stuff in my sketchbook, or go for school with i done sketch and ink it in class, my grades never went low because i always listened the teachers while drawing.
When I hear all these stories about how terrible their high school art teacher was, I start to feel really lucky. My art teacher saw that anime and manga style as a style. And he really enjoyed my style which is also the anime type of style, and I was in his classes every single year. He was one of my favorite teachers in high school, and is still my favorite teacher to this day. He even wrote my letter of recommendation or whatever it's called to get me into college. I think art teachers and people who put you down for what you plan on doing as a career in the future or say that your art is bad are such terrible people. I really like your style of art by the way, really good work. Keep doing what you're doing.
Whenever I hear stories like this about school, I feel a surge of anger as it echos my own experience, and so many others! It took me a long time to understand that this was a failure of my teachers and school, not me! A good teacher can make learning a positive experience, capture their students attention and make even boring subject matter interesting. A bad teacher, can foster a dislike of learning, leach the joy out of subjects you love (like art) and even traumatize learners. Thankfully you survived your educational experience and managed to not let them steal your obviously talent. You pursued your passion in spite of the obstacles, but I’m sure not without your share of self doubt along the way thanks to the unsupportive educational experience. I was so disillusioned by the time I finished school, that I chose a completely different path and it has taken me almost 30 years to come full circle back to my art! So much wasted time!! I draw so much inspiration and motivation from watching you create!
I can relate a lot to this story. I had a lot of authority figures traumatize me with putting me down, not believing that my art was original/not ripped off from others, and telling me it was only an expensive hobby. The hate towards digital art from my teachers was palpable. "It's not real art," "it's just comics and kids stuff", and so on. Disbelief and lack of knowledge too - like a teacher who said photoshop wasn't for painting in. I'm now 31 and I feel like I've lost a lifetime of artwork because I believed them. It caused me to spiral into a decade of depression and confusion, trying to please others.
My art teacher hated me and kicked me out of class when he found out I was failing math just to get rid of me... I wasn't even there for a month... well jokes on you teacher man, I'm a pro artist now and I'm getting PAID for it!! >:3
My art teachers disliked me too. She ruined one of my pieces and then gave me a bad mark on it. And in college... I failed photography for my punchy saturated style... years later my photos were published... I unno. Id ask for help with what I was getting wrong, and the teacher would treat me like garbage while not helping me... I still art everyday. Art is so subjective that I feel it'd be difficult to mark... Even if people "fail you" for your art, that's only their issue... keep practicing and going. It's so worth it in the end.
I go to these kinds of videos and read the comments to know what not to do as an art teacher. It breaks my heart how many assholes have ruined art for students who show an interest.
It's really good to know there are teachers out there who care!! I'm sure it's not an easy job to do, and being someone who isn't up for it myself, I really admire you!
Thank you so much! It’s my goal to teach students art skills that help them improve the kind of art they like to make. I adore your content by the way, keep making gorgeous art!
Alot to think about, but some really good advice. Anyone turning other peoples nonsense into diamonds should be proud of themselves on a daily basis. Know that if you ever get made to feel like she did everyone who knows anything *at all* supports you all the way. As far as this teachers behavior, she should ask herself this - does the reason someone is being judged have anything to do with what you’re supposed to be judging them for? If answer is no? You’re doing the wrong thing and you’ll know if you’re lying to yourself which is just as much of a problem. Hopefully people like that learn to correct those mistakes in the future. You do have a choice whether you want to make the world a better place or add more hate.
I had AP art in my senior year and my art teacher didn't tell us we had to make sketches in all 50 pages for an extra credit assignment. And we had two weeks to get projects done, identify every element and stuff in an artist's statement, and me being the anxious scaredycat MY MIND BROKE. I was literally so lost in what to do while everyone in the class knew what they wanted to do and could easily come up with these amazing ideas. I failed the class.
Agree with your endpoint that this criticism is mostly reflective of the person that is critical. It sucks that you had to go through that, it's hard enough to stay motivated in art whilst also trying to figure out what your next steps past high school are. Personally, I had a guidance counselor that couldn't fathom me wanting to pursue art (despite never having seen any of my artwork) and I promptly sought better advice after that meeting. Some people just want to be barriers to other people's successes, I'll never understand.
Your thumbnail photos for this vid is super well done. This is my first vid I’ve seen by you and I clicked on the thumbnail right away. Super high quality video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!!
Public school teachers are all so different nowadays. You get the teachers that are really nice and excited about art and let kids have creativity, but you also get the mean awful teachers who hate their lives and everyone in it. Also sis, the way you draw hair is GOALS! My art style is similar in the hair, but the face is more cutesy and simple
I feel so lucky to have had a friggin awesome art teacher that helped me and supported me with pretty much anything, and had so much advide to give to me that was actually helpful unlike most art teachers. He was an oil painter from Italy and was super open minded and even took requests for lessons from students and even let students teach the class if he saw fit. Anywho super chill sorry for the people who had to go through discouraging experiences.
Also, my father who also draws but almost never does anymore, one time my grandma found his drawings and said they were to dark and demented and actually burned them and then sent him to the mental hospital for money. Thank goodness he got himself out and is living normal. But he almost never draws saying that its hard to go back when he has lost so much time.
I met my boyfriend at college first semester of graphic design, and we have a teacher that literally hate his guts!!! he is an anime artist with focus on various 80's styles, and this dude... just hate his work, not because it was unfinished not because it was bad drawn noooo, just because, was "brutal" was "anime" style just because, we always gonna meet people that just hate us, anyway, another teacher that I met on an independent art group just told me, the only person that can tell if you are an artist is Rembrandt and he is like dead for a bunch of years so, just keep goin... :D anyway you still have your sketchbook??? that would be interesting to see XD a Highschool sketchbook tour XD that Evil teacher failed XD
I was in a public high school, now I wasnt picked on, but I was kicked out after like a few weeks. Mainly cause I doodled on this big folder I had. But I still do art, this story I'm hearing, i'm glad to see you still have your passion for art. And I have seen other people who also make great art too, and encourage them to keep doing what they do
I had a classmate once that was very GOOD at drawing human figures and anatomy. She was quiet and shy type of person but I would always compliment her drawings in class here and there. I wanted to boost up her confidence ever since I noticed that our art teacher was starting to discourage her work a bit as she wasn't an "extrovert." Even my classmates would even mock her a bit about how good she was... Tbh she was VERY TALENTED and her drawings we're beyond Amazing at that age!! I couldn't even make a full body!!
Hearing these stories is so sad. Isn’t art school supposed to be a place to encourage people to pursue art? And it seems somehow there are these sad insecure souls that weasel there way in to take their problems out on young impressionable students. Tearing students down and destroying dreams and motivations. Despicable. I’m glad you kept pursuing art despite these sad excuses for “mentor figures”
I’m a really shy person but I will fight a teacher if I have to, but luckily I wasn’t targeted like everyone in the comments are talking about, but my middle school teachers had so much beef with the kids, like.... their 11-13 y/o kids, ur a whole adult, grow tf up sir 😌
I also went to an art high school! We had a major and a minor, and my major was 2D art, while my minor was 3D art. I always struggled with 3D art, but I really enjoyed it in my senior year because I got to make jewelry.
I had a art teacher in school that hated me because I was "too ahead" she taught basics so I already knew almost everything we were doing because the class was beneath my level but to take Advanced Art I had to take the basics first but I didn't mind an easy year and a refresher on the stuff I knew so I just did my best and would finish early and she didn't like that I didn't need her so she would target me for petty things or for things I didn't do I got blamed for but I knew she was just petty and bitter so I tried to ignore her and pass so I could look back and tell her I told you so and make her feel the uselessness she tried to make me feel. So keep your head up fellow artist in training 🖌️🎨
I was lucky that my art teachers growing up were very supportive. I really enjoyed seeing the more aimless doodles you did before working on the blobs. My sketchbooks are more filled with that kinda stuff haha
Ooh this thumbnail and the idea looked really interesting i hope you can attraced even more people with that! And i just saw this update so i'm really hyped to watch it! Thanks for uploading
Looking back, I can also see that many art teachers (and one in particular from my own experience), targeted the most talented students in their classes, and I believe often out of jealously and resentment at the talent of their students - rather than recognizing their talents and pushing them to nurture that talent. Because the experience was not encouraging, it was meant to demean and discourage. And we now also start to see the impact in our society as the arts (all arts) are diminishing and being set aside as unimportant in education. The arts and sciences together foster innovation, entrepreneurship, independent thought and healthy self expression. Thankfully the internet is helping expose more people to art. It gives artists an avenue to reach the public, potentially make a living and bringing an element of creativity and self expression into other people’s lives.
I was a bit of a teacher's pet and the only one that didn't like me was my science teacher. My Practical Art teacher adored me since I went and did bigger projects because I enjoyed it so much. Stained glass was my favorite unit.
I always took art in school there are so many different types of Art Teachers out there sorry to hear u got one like that, some take personal views too far in how they see styles and types of Art glad to see u didn't let it stop u 😉 love the video
I hate when teachers want to fail you for no reason at all, and don't even get into trouble for doing so. I've always been the no talking really person in class, so I passed Art in High School. I think they liked that my art was great in my sketchbook and I never really talked in their class unless spoken to. But I'm 30 now, trying to learn how to digitally draw. I've finally given up using a mouse, and will be using one of those plug in things with a stylus pen that everyone calls a tablet, even though since it doesn't have a screen, it's technically to me, not a tablet. It's coming to me Monday, so hopefully I'll finally be able to get it down.
I had no art teacher in high school, but I had one in middle school. In reality, she was just a free class where we draw, paint, or anything related to art. She wasn't a good teacher when it can to teach us how to be better, so it was no surprise when they fired her. I remember when she was out sick, and we had a substitute. The sub gave us better advice on drawing and using different mediums. This was also the advanced class, and how I got there was completely different from others. It's because she looked at my picture and said, "it's amazing." I didn't take a test or a review like the other kids, and I felt horrible. Because they worked hard, and I did a simple doodle in her class with a friend. I was a terrible artist; I have no idea what went through her head when she chose me. She also did it to my friend and others like she was giving away spots in her class. Another thing I remember from this class was we were in charge of the school murals. We had to paint the large wooden panels in the hallways. We didn't know what the hell to draw, so we mixed fantasy, cartoons, sci-fi, and football. But by the time we graduated from middle school, we weren't even finished with it. Later I found out they just painted over it and got professionals. They wasted time and money because they shouldn't have let kids done it with no actual rules or restrictions.
That teacher is such a jerk! It just makes me so mad cuz art teachers are so typical. I've heard so many stories from artists say that art teachers are like this. 😡💥😢 Love how the drawings came out. the exercise that you're doing is super helpful for art block.😊❤
Yeah... tbh though after thinking about it, I should probably make another video about some good art teachers I've had over the years as well. They definitely haven't all been bad, and this particular one was the craziest for sure.
Yeah my art teacher hated me too. She didn't go as far as to do anything like mark me low, she at least had the decency to be unbiased with grades, but she would get angry/tell me off a lot for different things (like waiting for a crowd to die down to go grab art supplies). We had these little class events where we stopped working and we walked around the class to look at other people's work and then she'd ask who's work stood out. If anyone called my name out, she would acknowledge it. When someone elses name was called out, the class all went over and took a look and talked about what was good or bad. So yeah I was thankful that she was unbiased with grading, but she definitely didn't help build my interest of art up (which is why I didn't go on to major in it. Luckily I decided to go back to it in College (and thank GOODNESS the teacher at college let me in based on my personal art, because usually they don't let you if you didn't get a grade in it from school!)) College was so much better, the teacher really boosted my confidence and was as enthusiastic about everyone's art as we were, honestly the best experience of my life so far
I can completely relate to your story about your Art Teacher.. I had an Art Teacher in High School who hated me also. I loved drawing and drew every day since I was a child.. However I ended up hating art for nearly 20 years because of her. She failed me at Art class. To catch her out I put her to the test and started doing my friends assignments .She past all of them but still failed me.
Some people should clearly not be teachers. My natural science teacher hated me even though I was always on time, quiet when expected to, did all of my work on time. He graded my test different from other even though I had written the same answer as my friends. He made me retake every single test several times until I was good enough in his eyes. He made me cry. I went to the principal. He didn't listen. I ended up barely passing because of him
During my very first animation course in college I had a teacher that hated my character designs and I had to repeatedly change it during critiques mainly because the characters I drew had very anime-like features to it and he didn't like that and would always go on this rant that anime isn't acceptable in the industry especially American animation companies and that anime all look the same so that we should avoid it. I had to really change my art style throughout the whole class and in future projects. I felt a bit discouraged because of this and confused about my career path at this point. I get that they try to be honest about how the industry is really like but I don't think they realize how it can affect artists and how they feel about their art. I think I just learned to accept it and be open to learning more of how I wanted to get better if I really wanted to be in this industry. Honestly now I really don't know what I want to do and I'm still figuring that out.
My elementary school art teacher actually made me hate art class because it was never fun. She had a golden student who would always end up in the local community art show (she could have put more people she always chose one girl). the community art show was supposed to show that these kids had talent in art. She never let us be very creative in our works so i hated the class. We had to follow everything step by step. I didn’t really love art class until 5th where we got a new art teacher who allowed kids to explore the medium they are working with and do what they want with the medium. She changed my life with art class because she said that when i mixed purple(red and blue), i did really well for my first time mixing it. And it made me so happy to hear praise for being able to do something art related. Now i’m older. I’ve gotten into my local art show about 5 times now (and some of my works have been submitted for contests in my city, plus i’m a NAHS board member for my HS, i’ve run the HS open art studio) I’ve gotten an award last year for academic excellence in my design class. I was the only one out of all of my teachers classes (Design 1, 2, and 3) that she chose. And i was in Design 1, but i always went after school to continue projects and i went above and beyond what was required. Each teacher at my school chooses 1 kid out of all of their classes to be put into the academic excellence awards. You get an official letter from the schools principal saying you’ve been chosen. Yes i’m flexing about my art journey because i’m proud of it and how far i’ve come
I failed art class twice in highschool, my teacher wasn’t very fair at all and the highest grade I got on a project was a B, that same project I won a gold regional award with... every project after that I either got a D or an F. I stopped taking art class after that.
yOOO dang!! while already reading the title I’m surprised! I don’t have time to watch it now but I’ll be sure to watch it tomorrow morning :0 storytimes are usually really interesting, and combined with your art it’s going to be even better! I’ve read a few of the comments and can tell it’s gonna be a ridee 👀
Wow, that sounds so familiar :D Perhaps she was also jealous, because you were better than her already xD I can't believe some adults still behave like that, it's just so childish
I also had a high school art teacher who just hated me for some reason, I had him for pottery his first year teaching and after that he just always seemed to despise me. We had a final project and he did like my concept, we were to make a horn, but make it into an animal. I choose a whale shark, and was 75% done with my project, I just had to paint it. Well a week before the dead line, my project went missing from the locked cabinet. Note this was first period, he locked the cabinet after every period, so when I asked him about it he said he had no idea where it went. I asked if he had seen any other student working on it and if so it was my project, he said no other student were doing a whale shark. So I had to restart my project with only a week left. Because he said "I dont remember what your project looked like so you can either take a C- or re do your project." So i redid it, without painting it....I believe I got a B. He also hated anime and my art style, but when we got a freshman in our class who was really fucking weird, he stopped hating me and started hating this kid, so woohoo....
I had the same thing happen to me during the science fair. I spent 8 hours doing a forensic blood spatter experiment and another 8 writing a 5 page detailed analysis and report of my findings and she said I plagiarized it and gave me an f on it. It was the final btw. Next year she was my home ec teacher and she failed the whole class! Woo
My dad grounded me for 3 months (very dysfunctional man), and in that, I wasn't allowed to do my extracurriculars. One of those was Advanced Placement art -- which was a real class with real High School credits, but for the class it was mandatory to go to class during school hours AND stay after school 2 times a week to work on our portfolios. So I failed that class (AND Marching Band -- also an after school practice situation) because of this. My Art Teacher and I were really close so we were both upset at the situation and she did her best to get me through it but it just wasnt enough.
Wow this sucks. I had a digital art teacher my freshman year of highschool who gave me so much crap about my style and tastes with my art. He constantly put me down even though I was learning digital for the first time. He never helped me he just told me every mistake I made and how bad I was at art. I failed his class and my mom flipped on him when I explained why I suspected he failed me (yet he didnt fail students who skipped class and cheated). Every time I had him after he made me drop, failed me, or overall ruined it for me. My senior year he even played a part in the destruction of a massive clay sculpture I was working on for a scholarship and art show and I lost a huge chance but no one cared what he did to me
I had an art teacher years in high school. She was on everyone list if you remotely miss one shad of color or do one thing slightly wrong in her eyes she instantly would try and fail you. Like She even told me later on that I wouldnt get anywhere in the art world if I continued. I was afraid to continue on in the world till I meet my painting in collage.;
My highschool art teacher had a problem with me too. She NEVER had anything good to say about anyone who wasn't already on the art scholarship roll, she would walk up and jerk my pencil from my hand to DRAW OVER what I'd spent two weeks working on as my final project for the majority of the EOC test. She would intentionally "lose" your work if she didn't like you and then go "Well I can't give you anything other than an F, I can't find your piece" when I found out the reason she'd zeroed in on my specifically, I quit the class. She had an issue with the size of my breasts, and because I used to be naturally endowed, my chest would jiggle when I'd erase and the males in my class never stopped harassing me over it. She was bitter because I had bigger breasts. In the end I developed an eating disorder you lose weight and I now struggle to stay above 90 lbs, my tits are gone, I have never been in such poor health, and it started with one jealous teacher who'd rather have bullied her students alongside her other students rather than punish the males who kept grabbing at me. I became a very good artist, but I did it on my own, without the bullshit taking classes involves, and I have never regretted quitting art classes. My work got better after I quit any damn way
I hope you feel better soon!!! Jealousy can make people do the most mean things, and try to make you feel bad to make themselves feel good. They just lack character. You should feel sorry for them, and never let them get the best of you. I wish you the best!!!
Ugh that teacher is awful! Really glad you didn’t stop because of that, you’re very talented and passionate about art! 💕 What’s with adults getting jealous of kids and trying to bring them down??? Hearing a lot of about that. 🤔
There was a system in my high school where they would put you in classes you didnt want to be in sometimes, so the art class I was in had a lot of people who didnt even want to be there. Nonetheless, my art teacher would give them really high grades and think that they're doing amazing when they're *literally trying to fail the class*, meanwhile. I was in there because I'm an artist and I failed the class because she didn't like the artwork that I would do outside of the class. She constantly put down my art and she also made fun of my face during a tutorial on drawing faces. That was fun My tip is to just never take art classes. Self taught all the way.
Teaching is not for everybody. People who wants to teach should really encourage people to do their best and put effort and love in wath they're doing. I can see a good teacher pointing out what a student need to improve and how to do it, but simply telling someone "they're not good" never taught anything to anyone in history. Also as an adult I recollect how hard it is for the youngests to overcome insecurities and self-doubts, I think that woman had personal issues and she just wanted to put them on you instead of investigating on why she was feeling those harsh feelings towards your art. She was jelous an not capable to admit it to herself.
Well i love how you turned the situation into good you kept pursuing art and now your out her inspiring so many young artist and other artist (including me) keep doing you yanna ig you could say who’s laughing now 🥺😂💜
tbh? same. I skipped so much of grade 12 because of issues and the fact I didn't fail that year or grade 11 was sheer luck but my art teacher hated me too. she didn't just hate me she hated a couple of my school friends in my classes, and one of them had to switch schools for other reasons and she flourished at the new school because the teachers there actually taught the class and actually explained what the hell we were meant to be doing. in all fairness I didn't help myself because I wasn't in a good spot but the fact I had to take an extracurricular university run course to understand what I was meant to be doing in my regular class was ridiculous! she also really wanted everyone to make art exactly like her which was kinda shitty especially considering it was grade eleven and twelve art which is folio based and you choose your theme
Wow. How did this story make me mad!!!😂 I would have been SO pissed off if that had happened to me. It's such a shame that teachers like that are allowed to be in charge of students. It sounds to me like she was jealous of your talent and hard work. Normally people like that can see when someone is going to be successful and they try their hardest to discourage them, but I'm glad that you didn't let it get to you. ❤️ I've never faced this kind of thing from a teacher, but I have faced it from my fellow peers and it sucks I'm not gonna lie. Honestly, everyone need a bit of your "fuck off"attitude. This was a fun video!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yeah hahah I had a lot of anger issues in those days. Pretty glad about it tbh, because if it was anything else i would have just quit. I think the worst part is that this sabotaging behaviour is usually something they're totally unaware of -_-
throughout highschool we had 2 main art teachers and a supplie that majored art in collage. In grade 10 we got the supplie because the teacher the year before went to the hospital and got surgery for something. Anyways a common theme in our art classes was that each week we would get a prompt and we had to make a drawing around the prompt and use the medium for that week. One of the prompts was shoe. So in grade 10 one of the prompts was shoe. I erased the mark from before that was on the paper and handed it in again. The first mark I got was 6.5 the second? 9.5!
I'm happy I never had an experience like this w/ a teacher of mine throughout school My highschool teacher was mostly just impressed that I had any kind of foundation and asked where I learned from She was super chill though and spent her studyhall classes painting a big ass painting of how the Joker has looked through the years during my second school year w/ her Edit: I find it very ironic that the Non Traditional art teacher was bitching about digital art
This happened to my friend . She was amazing at Art and i really looked up to her and she helped me improving and always encouraged me to draw so much. One day we were assigned to draw a landscape and she drew it digitally and the teacher said she didnt draw it and gave her a 6 which is the worst mark in german grading system. She actually ended up Not drawing anymore at all in That class and failed.
Everything she said was literally everything I went through. Only difference is I made it KNOWN I that I didn’t care for her opinion. It seems that if ur passionate in art, in an art class, the teacher be hating. Especially if it ANIME! They’ll fail u just got that.
Watching you sketching is really interesting and this is a great idea with the watercolor blobs, I will try that in my sketchbook too =)) I love the contrasty look of this with the watercolor tones in the background :> and the teacher was maybe just really really uncontent with her situation I guess? :D° Otherwise I cant imagine how she should be so unmotivating to her pupils U_U
There was this PE teacher in middle school that would always try to humiliate me and my friends. The first time she screamed at us in front of the class when we were doing a class presentation, which i think is so unprofessional if someone did something wrong then just teach the right way dammit . Second time she told us to show her how to stretch for an exercise, we were not confident at all we didn't know how to do that well but still we did and talked about the muscles etc and she threw her book on us because we were doing it wrong , insteand of showing it to us she just screamed we were mortified and scared, we were also alone with her in that class i remember i had a mini panick attack that day , we were thinking this women is taking advantage because all of us are shy and quiet and she is crazy. The third time she told me to give her my art sketch book because i was not paying attention in class, detail everyone had their phones on , everyone was talking, playing, some kids were outside the class, she was not teaching anything just talkng with some kids and i was just quietly drawing when she tried to take my notebook, she told me if i didn't give it to her i was banned from classes ... I was so feed up with her that i threw my notebook on the floor and left the class and told her to kick me out i don't give a fuck, she was shocked and remained quiet because i finally said something, then i left class and proceed to go cry in the bathroom. I never disrespected any teachers, my mom is a professor so i just stayed quiet in the classes that didn't interest me, i had good grades in the classes i liked and that i knew i would need for my future career but in the other ones i didn't care about i was not doing so well, the thing with my country is that you can't choose your subjects you must learn everything which sucks and i think that really destroys a kids self confidence cause at some age you already now what you are interested in and people make you feel bad if you are not good in certain subjects for example , they treat you like you are dumb. I wish i could go back to highschool with the mentality i have today , i would've enjoyed my highschool experience much more
My worst art teacher omggg, very similar experience, only that interaction was the entire semester for me. I've never debated leaving a class because I was afraid of a teacher. Not once, lol. The first day we had to turn in 5 drawings and people that did worse than I did received no flack, but it was like a movie how she laid into me, I literally couldn't believe how many times a complete stranger said they were disappointed in my work quality 😳 She got done verbally whipping me and she ends it with, "do you understand me?!" And I didn't well up or miss a beat before I went, "yeah" as sarcastically as I could. She just went, "Oooh" with the most venomous tone I'd ever heard, LOL. After that, she would just generally target me in critiques and at one point I sent her an email saying I missed class because I had a fever, and I got nothing back, next class I went in and she cornered me like,, "Where were you?" And I was like, "did you get my email?", "Yes" "then why are you asking?", GUESS WHAT SHE SAYS IN RESPONSE, "Because I can" 💀💀 It's been a few years since then, and I actually recently learned they were shuffling professors around to teach in the illustration class I'm currently in, because before I even signed up, the aforementioned professor had very vaguely "Gone back to New York, and would not be working there in the future" 👀
I had gotten a D in art class when I was in 7th grade. So far that has been the only class I have gotten such a bad grade in. Someone had died when I was in that class, so I had missed school days. I was supposed to make up assignments, but I never did. That’s what hurt my grade so badly. Oh well. That was a crazy year.
I failed art class in highschool also. I am terrible with my hands and can't articulate ideas in a tangible form. Years later, I have done some cool stuff with video and audio editing software. I also have a keen eye for photography. Art classes don't work for some people.
When I was in middle school we had to draw something during art classes (portrait I guess). Like, we were instructued on the beginning and had to finish during the same class. When the teacher saw my work she literally said "You did't draw that." and was so sure about that lol. I was speachless but internally screaming "uh lady wth? The who did?" I started and finished it in front of her eyes and she acted like this xD It wasn't an art school, just regular school, and she wasn't even an artist. I was one of those few kids who had some more developed artistic skills and she obviously had a problem with that. I can't recall any other issues she had with me but as far as I remember it was rather a daily basis xD Luckily I didn't care much about her since I realized that she was simply pouring her frustration on us. Seriously, some people REALLY should consider choosing different career than being a teacher before they ruin children's and teenagers' lives.
ughh =__= It's honestly so gross how often this happens. Grown ass people resenting children is so psychologically stunted. It's really good that it didn't affect you much!
All my classmates(or not all) hated my English teacher, One time my teacher was teaching in class and one of my friends were drawing/doodling. She was still listening though, Then our teacher noticed it and scolded her for not listening (as I said before she was) I don't exactly remember what happened but she started crying, She kept on crying until she had trouble breathing, My teacher didn't even care.
Your art is GREAT! Your figures are amazing! It's like Jordan Peterson points out, the postmodernists hate competence. There's a resentment built into everything! I had a similar experience with my grade 12 art teacher, also a postmodernist, and she gave me a 55%, after I was a teacher assistant, lead the life drawing class and after-school programs. Well, another great quote from Frank Sinatra: Succes is the best revenge!
I had an art professor in college that targeted me. It was because I was shy and quiet. I had a friend that pretty much called him out in class and he never bothered me again.
Good for your friend!!
*Everyone liked that*
What a good friend nice to have someone like that
You have to stand up for yourself though. Your friend wouldn’t be able to protect you
I'm jelous. You have a very worthy friend.
when a teacher doesn't like you, you have two options: he will just treat you badly, or he will treat you badly and harm you.
I was a good student for all the teachers, I didn't get low grades, but I didn't get the highest grades in the classroom either. I did not disrespect the teachers, did not talk during classes and did all the homework. I was neutral. But in middle school, my math teacher started to hate me. in short, she asked me to do things that other students didn't need to do, she asked me to go and solve questions on the board every day (I was very shy in front of the class). one day, when she wrote questions on the board and we had to copy, as soon as she finished, she came to check my notebook, and I still hadn't finished copying (just like the other students). she yelled at me and humiliated me in front of everyone, saying that I was lazy and etc. and also wrote a huge message for my parents to read.
It was hell. I was already a shy person, after that, I developed panic attacks and a little social phobia. i almost failed, my math scores were extremely low because of the fear i felt from her, i could no longer concentrate on her classes. but I passed the final exams and THANKS TO GOD went to high school.
note: wow, I received so many likes and comments, thank you so much!!! but you don't even know the worst: in the first year of high school, my math teacher started doing the same things as my math teacher from middle school, and one of the times he asked me to solve questions on the board I had to kneel to finish writing at the bottom of the board (im 1.80) and he said: "can you see? this is the position of women in front of men"
I'm glad you got out of that! I feel like math teachers can be kinda sadistic. I had a horrible math teacher in middle school. I really liked math but I eventually started failing her class because she sucked at teaching and was really mean to me but the last straw was that she yelled at me & said maybe I was just failing her class because I'm bilingual ???? She said me speaking a different language prevented me from understanding her. I didn't know what to do to make her fuck off so I ended up just telling my mom lmao.
It sucked and I hate teachers who put students on the spot like your teacher did to you. Especially if someone is shy because they're just gonna make shit worse.
@@karlabunns IM SORRY FOR YOU. I also told my mom, but she believed in the things that my teacher said and punished me several times. today she regrets it, but anyway, it’s not like you can go back in time.
oof thas harsh. I have a same teacher when I was in 6th grade and he's so strict and make personal jokes about his students. Whenever we have tests and we have the results, he will make us stand and he'll say a number that is on the test for example; who got 30, ( you'll sit down ) and if you're the on who's standing that means you're the only one who got the lowest score and he'll make fun of you or he'll say, "are you even listening to my lessons?" So everytime math period comes, it will always give me anxiety. 6th grade made me an anxious person probably because he's also our adviser
sebaschan I actually had a math teacher who was just like that. Not to me, but to my brother. We both had her, but both our experiences were different. I absolutely HATE it when teachers choose certain student(s) to bully or nitpick.
I am so sorry for you! I hope your doing better now! My 9th grade math teacher was the worst. I was also the quiet kid who did everything the teachers told me and got good grades. My other teachers after I was done with work they let me draw. Drawing helped me a lot in class. So when I was in math I was done with work and got 100% and thought I would draw on a piece of paper. I looked up a picture(a dog, yeah just a dog) and she yelled at me and gave me a citation. But this makes it worse, the kid in front of me didn’t do his work and was playing games, which wasn’t allowed and she didn’t even tell him to get off. I don’t know she didn’t like me. I literally just did my work.
I had that one teacher that didn’t like me doodling durning class and went as far as breaking my pencils 😒
that's pretty crazy O_O
Oh my god, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry you went through that. 😞
I think it's proven that people who doodle while listening are actually receiving more information than people that don't
dude if i were to be a teacher and see a student doodling id encourage them to doodle something related to what im teaching,and or just encourage them anyways, like come on thatll just make them quit :/
My teacher ripped up my art.
I had a friend in art school that was super advanced at anatomy compared to the others and really passionate about western comics. He was pretty good with environmental art as well as creating different dynamic expressions and portraits. We had one teacher that even the other teachers knew was a pretty crazy person and everybody was sorta not liking or wishing they would not wind up in her class. She was always paranoid and forcing every kid to stand up and salute her each to they saw her and she forcefully wanted everyone to think that she is a great artist instead of letting people discovering it on their own. She taught painting, but even though it was meant to be study type painting, she would just tell everyone that they should experiment instead, but even then, she constantly painted over everyone's work with what she thought was interesting and would actually ruin people's paintings sometimes, then give them a bad grade. My friend was just a regular guy that had a sense of humor, but he was respectful and didn't make bad jokes or make them to the face of the teacher, but I am guessing his demeanor was simply a past trauma or something of the teacher. So she actually gave him such a bad grade because something of hers got missing and she blamed the kids in the class (even though you can't say that the whole class is crazy and you're not, my opinion) and in the end that bad grade in any of the art classes meant getting expelled. She was always tellin him that he wasn't a good artist and he didn't belong in art school before, even though the other teachers considered the actual opposite. And when that teacher was against him and wanted him expelled, a lot of the teachers jumped in for him, but he gave up on art because of her words and accepted the wrong punishment just so that it would be over. Later the teacher found what she lost and it just fell behind a piece of furniture. She told the other people that used to know him, but it was too late. A teacher should never discourage their own students, or feel disdain towards them. The connection they have with their students is what evolves or devolves their students.
O.O
That's horrible omg I hope he's still drawing, I can't believe a teacher could have pushed a kid to quitting art
@@thucanbui1731 he is still drawing for himself, but he didn't improve super much since then and doesn't like talking about an art career or anything of the sort.
Imagine being so bitter (or I guess senile) to become an art “teacher” to spend your days tearing apart young people’s dreams to try and give your insecure self a little sense of validation. So disgusting and sad these people can get themselves into institutions and roles that are supposed to encourage young students.
@@herpaderpz artists can become teachers all day with a course of teaching, only that since they are used to treating everybody like competition from their way of making money, they treat the students that way.
Teachers who discourage your interests and actively work to belittle their students based on their own biases are the worst kind of bullies. A teacher should be a nurturing and safe adult in the lives of their students.
Many teachers are failed artists themselves, they could only get a job as teacher and become bitter over the years, and project their hate of art onto people who they see are better at art than themselves.
As soon as I saw the title i was like “same”
hahahah literally tho x'''D
Almost. I actually almost failed. But goddamn I am so lucky. I have learned that I really need to release my fear of failure upon an art piece so I would not take so long to come up with something.
Same, but I got kicked out instead, so I guess that counts as failing, lol 😅
My history teacher took away my sketchbook and started looking trough it while showing it to the class. He then started pointing out stuff he didn't like and said he could draw better. I am so happy i don't have history anymore lol.
Wow what a biatch
That sounds horrible but I would have asked to see him draw XD I drew better than my highschool teacher and she shut up real quick after the whole class realizied how "skilled" she was. Just cuz I liked cartoons she assumed thats all I could do XD
Of course he could draw better, he's supposed to be teaching you!
@@arvindshukla8040 a history teacher doesn't teach art...
@@nerdycurls6253 oop sorry I misread that, sorry bout' that. ( I thought that the art teacher said that they could draw better when it's literally there job and nothing to be proud of)
Ironic enough, my art teacher picked on me in high school too and tried to fail me. She made me so miserable in her class that after a while I couldn't look at any of my art supplies because I felt like such a failure. A part of me died because of her. As a person who grew up expressing myself through my art all the time, I couldn't look at any of my sketch pads or paints for almost two years and I only now started trying to get myself back into doing what I love. Wish me luck guys! I'm rooting for all of you, don't let them discourage or change you ever! God bless❤
going into high school so i hope my art teacher isn’t a pain lmao
Well, the only advice I can give you: Ignore any teacher that says "You'll never pass", and also ignore all the teachers that say "If you don't do well in school now...you'll never succeed in life! You'll have a horrible, minimum wage job and be miserable". They're lying. I have friends who have 'lame' jobs, and friends who have 'awesome' careers, and friends right in the middle. You know what all of them have in common? A good life, with friends, family, children, hobbies, etc. Hell, three of my high school friends dropped out; one works for the Yukon Government, one has traveled the world, lived in China and learned Tai-Chi from a master, found a wife, and now lives back in Canada, teaching Tai-Chi, and one more friend (one of my best friends) owns and operates his own business dealing with heavy-duty construction.

Aria Wesley Same, I’m going into high school now
I wasn’t even in an art class I would go in the art room during lunch and draw and I was drawing anime. My teacher said that wasn’t real art.
I almost got suspended that day
honestly i love these kind of videos... i just play them and listen to them while sketching in my own sketchbook. These are so relaxing
I'm glad!! I was worried this one had too much complaining lmao x'D gotta make a more balanced one next time hahah
But we love your "rambling" videos!🙈 It's so relaxing and soothing to draw while listening to you😊 one of my fav art channels
Thank you ;o; that means a lot!
When I was 13-14 I found out I was relativity good at copying images and for the first few months my grandma, uncle and a few other family members seemed to think I was lying and was actually tracing but that all changed on day when I sat down at my grandma's and decided to draw the flowers painted on her lamp vase right in front of her lol
I hate salty people like that.
ughhh... family members no less =_= Hope your grandma apologized for doubting you!
The same thing happened to me and all of my classmates said that it wad either traced or printed.
I definitely had teachers in public school that felt like anime wasn't an art style and would fail them if they used it or teachers that would "help" students by drawing something on their project for them and that student would get a higher grade. I felt it was a lot of bull and I often butt heads with my teachers because at that age I wasn't afraid of speaking my mind haha. I am glad this experience though hasn't put you off on what you know you wanted to do and I am always excited to see your videos, see your work and listen to your experiences
I hate people that say anime is not an art style. like how can you say that? if it isn't a style why is it everywhere
@@Nonexistent_creature I mean it's not really about whenever it's an art style or not. In order to learn how to draw you should always start with realism first - because once you've got all those fundamentals, you will know how to simplify it and draw in any style you want - and do it well.
Teachers mean well when they tell you to not draw in a certain style. Takes you out of your comfort zone, teaches you the right habits and most importantly shows you how to draw from observation. Trust me, it's really easy to get sucked into drawing things a certain way and later on literally having no idea how to fix it - but if you know how to observe your subject well, you will be able to draw anything just by looking at it, and later do the same thing from memory too.
and just to be clear I'm not saying that teachers that bully students into submission are good! you can draw whatever the hell you want if you just do it as a hobby, but I'd say if you wanna get serious about it, it's really worth learning how to draw from observation first and then search for your own style
Oof that art teacher def sounds really shitty to deal with, I would love to hear about your worst commission experience cuz I remember you mentioning it in one of your sketchbook tours, love the recent vids keep it up💕🥺👏
I thought about talking about it but also realized that it might be a touchy subject lmao x'D maybe I'll figure out how to talk about it eventually haha
This was a breath of fresh air. We have all had that one art teacher. And their voice tries to become the cynic that follows us around for life. The way you combated that cynic and the way you exude your confidence is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
I had the same thing happen. Everyone loved this art teacher because he let you eat in class and he played music, but to me, he was the devil. We had this weird schedule where we only had certain classes twice a week for 30 minutes, and he would assign these really cool pieces but not let us take our work outside of class. Dunno why. I vividly remember him assigning a poster sized (like 20x30") POINTELISM piece. We had to finish it in 2 classes. Everyone else just put random dots on their pieces and got As, but i actually wanted to try real pointelism, so I only got a small corner really "done". I BEGGED him for more time but he just wrote on the front of it in red ink "F". He wrote on all my artwork like that. He even drew a character on one in red ink as a "suggestion". He failed me. It took a long time to feel like a real artist again.
What she did was WRONG and you have every right to be angry. You can and should examine and look at 'both sides' of issues,however it can be VERY detrimental to justify others being abusive towards you whatever the 'reason'. Being unacceptably cruel to anyone is just that 'unacceptably cruel'. Also it seems like she was jealous of anyone more skilled/talented than her at art and was being aggressive and discouraging out of envy. So I would be enraged as well. I'm glad you can look back and talk about it now without becoming too upset. I'm also glad you didn't give up on art! I love how you used the random blobs to make characters! Great video, thanks.
I legit said “oh this looks like cosmic spectrums art” and then I saw the freaking display name. Anyways you’re my biggest inspiration and I love you
surprisingly, im one of the lucky ones.
our high school art teacher, shes like, the Gordon Ramsay of art, she always points out mistakes, even when its small, and while everyone, including my friends, gets yelled at for the littlest things, i get complements and get treated like an angel
idk why, im not even good
My art teacher this year hates me. I am good at what i'm doing and everytime she trys to give me a unreasonable grate i ask for constructive criticism. Then she pinpoints small details. If i change them the next time she still complains. I learned to trust my instinct and not a women who obviously dosen't like me. Its honestly important to know that not every teacher has your best interest in mind.
Thank you for sharing your story. Its in some way good to know that i am not alone with this.
Wow, that's another 'awful art teacher' story. I'm really starting to wonder, if I was the only one, who was literally loved by my art teachers? I mean, I barely have any of my school artworks left, because they often asked me if they could keep it to use it as an example for future classes. And it got even more extreme when I got into anime style. Though, in my country it's called 'Manga' style and the colored manga pages and covers had a bigger impact on the kids here than anime (though, anime were pretty common here since the 70s, those were more tailored for the international market though).
At a certain point I even started to stretch the boundaries of the assigned guidelines (and I often had to explain my interpretation), I always got my A grades.
Maybe it's a question of nationality? I live in Germany, and comic/manga/anime was prestent in one way or the other for decades here. Maybe it's because we could only do our assignments in class, so cheating was impossible. Or because my high schools major was science and linguistics (and considered one of the most difficult high schools of the country back then), so my teachers were happy to finally have an artist in their class? Though it was no different in elementary school for me.
Or maybe it's the time and age. I'm 33 now, so my school days are quite some time ago. And I shifted to anime style in 1998/99, when Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball etc were pretty new in free TV.
@Olga Hein I actually love my art teacher aswell but I’m pretty lucky because the other art teacher for my year was the biggest problem for my friends who were in her class. She would keep you on a specific project for half of the year when it should’ve only taken a week or so and teach you the most useless childish stuff, then when my friends and I started our GCSE year we really needed to get good marks and my friends were put in that teacher’s class and she only showed up for a few weeks at the start and then she just stopped coming into school and no one saw her for the rest of the year and then we found out she was retiring. My friends wasted a whole year with sub teachers and aren’t getting the best marks they deserve because of that. That’s I feel like I’m lucky, my art class was pretty small and all of us have a close family-like relationship with our teacher, even the boys who like to cause trouble and waste their time in classes, respect her. I feel really bad for all the people that have had such bad experiences with art teachers, they should be treated like that because it was really chip away at confidence and self esteem and make you feel like your trapped, which is not ideal for anyone who wants to do art.
I had two art teachers one year and the digital one disliked me. Like I knew how to do digital art and I expressed my enthusiasm to her. But I was put with the new students and she made me feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about of that I didn’t know anything about digital art (mind you I really didn’t learn anything new from this class). She took away my art stuff and would try to call on me when she thought I wasn’t paying attention to embarrass me (it didn’t work dkdndndn). I complained to the guidance counselor and she ended up changing the class structure. She wasn’t happy about it. She killed any motivation I had to digital art but I grew in traditional art.
as far as i remember of me, myself and highschool i always hide in the back (what is kinda hard because i am tall) and try to draw some pinterest stuff in my sketchbook, or go for school with i done sketch and ink it in class, my grades never went low because i always listened the teachers while drawing.
When I hear all these stories about how terrible their high school art teacher was, I start to feel really lucky. My art teacher saw that anime and manga style as a style. And he really enjoyed my style which is also the anime type of style, and I was in his classes every single year. He was one of my favorite teachers in high school, and is still my favorite teacher to this day. He even wrote my letter of recommendation or whatever it's called to get me into college. I think art teachers and people who put you down for what you plan on doing as a career in the future or say that your art is bad are such terrible people. I really like your style of art by the way, really good work. Keep doing what you're doing.
Whenever I hear stories like this about school, I feel a surge of anger as it echos my own experience, and so many others! It took me a long time to understand that this was a failure of my teachers and school, not me! A good teacher can make learning a positive experience, capture their students attention and make even boring subject matter interesting. A bad teacher, can foster a dislike of learning, leach the joy out of subjects you love (like art) and even traumatize learners. Thankfully you survived your educational experience and managed to not let them steal your obviously talent. You pursued your passion in spite of the obstacles, but I’m sure not without your share of self doubt along the way thanks to the unsupportive educational experience. I was so disillusioned by the time I finished school, that I chose a completely different path and it has taken me almost 30 years to come full circle back to my art! So much wasted time!! I draw so much inspiration and motivation from watching you create!
I can relate a lot to this story. I had a lot of authority figures traumatize me with putting me down, not believing that my art was original/not ripped off from others, and telling me it was only an expensive hobby. The hate towards digital art from my teachers was palpable. "It's not real art," "it's just comics and kids stuff", and so on. Disbelief and lack of knowledge too - like a teacher who said photoshop wasn't for painting in. I'm now 31 and I feel like I've lost a lifetime of artwork because I believed them. It caused me to spiral into a decade of depression and confusion, trying to please others.
My art teacher hated me and kicked me out of class when he found out I was failing math just to get rid of me... I wasn't even there for a month... well jokes on you teacher man, I'm a pro artist now and I'm getting PAID for it!! >:3
But also, fuck math...
Oh really
I can relate a lot to your school experience. Feels good to hear someone else talk about it.
Same. I also had issues with certain professors in college because they didn’t like what I created.
My art teachers disliked me too. She ruined one of my pieces and then gave me a bad mark on it. And in college... I failed photography for my punchy saturated style... years later my photos were published... I unno. Id ask for help with what I was getting wrong, and the teacher would treat me like garbage while not helping me... I still art everyday. Art is so subjective that I feel it'd be difficult to mark... Even if people "fail you" for your art, that's only their issue... keep practicing and going. It's so worth it in the end.
I go to these kinds of videos and read the comments to know what not to do as an art teacher. It breaks my heart how many assholes have ruined art for students who show an interest.
It's really good to know there are teachers out there who care!! I'm sure it's not an easy job to do, and being someone who isn't up for it myself, I really admire you!
Thank you so much! It’s my goal to teach students art skills that help them improve the kind of art they like to make. I adore your content by the way, keep making gorgeous art!
Alot to think about, but some really good advice. Anyone turning other peoples nonsense into diamonds should be proud of themselves on a daily basis. Know that if you ever get made to feel like she did everyone who knows anything *at all* supports you all the way. As far as this teachers behavior, she should ask herself this - does the reason someone is being judged have anything to do with what you’re supposed to be judging them for? If answer is no? You’re doing the wrong thing and you’ll know if you’re lying to yourself which is just as much of a problem. Hopefully people like that learn to correct those mistakes in the future. You do have a choice whether you want to make the world a better place or add more hate.
I had AP art in my senior year and my art teacher didn't tell us we had to make sketches in all 50 pages for an extra credit assignment. And we had two weeks to get projects done, identify every element and stuff in an artist's statement, and me being the anxious scaredycat MY MIND BROKE. I was literally so lost in what to do while everyone in the class knew what they wanted to do and could easily come up with these amazing ideas. I failed the class.
Agree with your endpoint that this criticism is mostly reflective of the person that is critical. It sucks that you had to go through that, it's hard enough to stay motivated in art whilst also trying to figure out what your next steps past high school are. Personally, I had a guidance counselor that couldn't fathom me wanting to pursue art (despite never having seen any of my artwork) and I promptly sought better advice after that meeting.
Some people just want to be barriers to other people's successes, I'll never understand.
In 1907 a guy failed art school too!
Your thumbnail photos for this vid is super well done. This is my first vid I’ve seen by you and I clicked on the thumbnail right away. Super high quality video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!!
Public school teachers are all so different nowadays. You get the teachers that are really nice and excited about art and let kids have creativity, but you also get the mean awful teachers who hate their lives and everyone in it.
Also sis, the way you draw hair is GOALS! My art style is similar in the hair, but the face is more cutesy and simple
I haven’t taken an art class before and I read your title... SAME!
I feel so lucky to have had a friggin awesome art teacher that helped me and supported me with pretty much anything, and had so much advide to give to me that was actually helpful unlike most art teachers. He was an oil painter from Italy and was super open minded and even took requests for lessons from students and even let students teach the class if he saw fit. Anywho super chill sorry for the people who had to go through discouraging experiences.
Also, my father who also draws but almost never does anymore, one time my grandma found his drawings and said they were to dark and demented and actually burned them and then sent him to the mental hospital for money. Thank goodness he got himself out and is living normal. But he almost never draws saying that its hard to go back when he has lost so much time.
I met my boyfriend at college first semester of graphic design, and we have a teacher that literally hate his guts!!! he is an anime artist with focus on various 80's styles, and this dude... just hate his work, not because it was unfinished not because it was bad drawn noooo, just because, was "brutal" was "anime" style just because, we always gonna meet people that just hate us, anyway, another teacher that I met on an independent art group just told me, the only person that can tell if you are an artist is Rembrandt and he is like dead for a bunch of years so, just keep goin... :D anyway you still have your sketchbook??? that would be interesting to see XD a Highschool sketchbook tour XD that Evil teacher failed XD
Yes definitely would like to see this "failed" sketchbook tooooo!!
I was in a public high school, now I wasnt picked on, but I was kicked out after like a few weeks. Mainly cause I doodled on this big folder I had. But I still do art, this story I'm hearing, i'm glad to see you still have your passion for art. And I have seen other people who also make great art too, and encourage them to keep doing what they do
I had this course in art school where they teach you how to devour half of Europe.
I had a classmate once that was very GOOD at drawing human figures and anatomy. She was quiet and shy type of person but I would always compliment her drawings in class here and there. I wanted to boost up her confidence ever since I noticed that our art teacher was starting to discourage her work a bit as she wasn't an "extrovert." Even my classmates would even mock her a bit about how good she was...
Tbh she was VERY TALENTED and her drawings we're beyond Amazing at that age!! I couldn't even make a full body!!
Hearing these stories is so sad. Isn’t art school supposed to be a place to encourage people to pursue art? And it seems somehow there are these sad insecure souls that weasel there way in to take their problems out on young impressionable students. Tearing students down and destroying dreams and motivations. Despicable.
I’m glad you kept pursuing art despite these sad excuses for “mentor figures”
Just found your channel yesterday, and I LOVE your videos!!! 🥺💖💖
Teacher: you can draw anything you want!
Me: nice! *draws*
Teacher: *slaps hands* why are you drawing that?!
Me: *surprised Pikachu face*
I’m a really shy person but I will fight a teacher if I have to, but luckily I wasn’t targeted like everyone in the comments are talking about, but my middle school teachers had so much beef with the kids, like.... their 11-13 y/o kids, ur a whole adult, grow tf up sir 😌
I also went to an art high school! We had a major and a minor, and my major was 2D art, while my minor was 3D art. I always struggled with 3D art, but I really enjoyed it in my senior year because I got to make jewelry.
Glad I found your channel, I can watch you draw all day. Awesome work👍🏾
I had a art teacher in school that hated me because I was "too ahead" she taught basics so I already knew almost everything we were doing because the class was beneath my level but to take Advanced Art I had to take the basics first but I didn't mind an easy year and a refresher on the stuff I knew so I just did my best and would finish early and she didn't like that I didn't need her so she would target me for petty things or for things I didn't do I got blamed for but I knew she was just petty and bitter so I tried to ignore her and pass so I could look back and tell her I told you so and make her feel the uselessness she tried to make me feel. So keep your head up fellow artist in training 🖌️🎨
I was lucky that my art teachers growing up were very supportive. I really enjoyed seeing the more aimless doodles you did before working on the blobs. My sketchbooks are more filled with that kinda stuff haha
Ooh this thumbnail and the idea looked really interesting i hope you can attraced even more people with that!
And i just saw this update so i'm really hyped to watch it! Thanks for uploading
Looking back, I can also see that many art teachers (and one in particular from my own experience), targeted the most talented students in their classes, and I believe often out of jealously and resentment at the talent of their students - rather than recognizing their talents and pushing them to nurture that talent. Because the experience was not encouraging, it was meant to demean and discourage. And we now also start to see the impact in our society as the arts (all arts) are diminishing and being set aside as unimportant in education. The arts and sciences together foster innovation, entrepreneurship, independent thought and healthy self expression. Thankfully the internet is helping expose more people to art. It gives artists an avenue to reach the public, potentially make a living and bringing an element of creativity and self expression into other people’s lives.
pls dont be a dictator if you fail art school
I was a bit of a teacher's pet and the only one that didn't like me was my science teacher. My Practical Art teacher adored me since I went and did bigger projects because I enjoyed it so much. Stained glass was my favorite unit.
I always took art in school there are so many different types of Art Teachers out there sorry to hear u got one like that, some take personal views too far in how they see styles and types of Art glad to see u didn't let it stop u 😉 love the video
I hate when teachers want to fail you for no reason at all, and don't even get into trouble for doing so. I've always been the no talking really person in class, so I passed Art in High School. I think they liked that my art was great in my sketchbook and I never really talked in their class unless spoken to. But I'm 30 now, trying to learn how to digitally draw. I've finally given up using a mouse, and will be using one of those plug in things with a stylus pen that everyone calls a tablet, even though since it doesn't have a screen, it's technically to me, not a tablet. It's coming to me Monday, so hopefully I'll finally be able to get it down.
I had no art teacher in high school, but I had one in middle school. In reality, she was just a free class where we draw, paint, or anything related to art. She wasn't a good teacher when it can to teach us how to be better, so it was no surprise when they fired her. I remember when she was out sick, and we had a substitute. The sub gave us better advice on drawing and using different mediums. This was also the advanced class, and how I got there was completely different from others. It's because she looked at my picture and said, "it's amazing." I didn't take a test or a review like the other kids, and I felt horrible. Because they worked hard, and I did a simple doodle in her class with a friend.
I was a terrible artist; I have no idea what went through her head when she chose me. She also did it to my friend and others like she was giving away spots in her class. Another thing I remember from this class was we were in charge of the school murals. We had to paint the large wooden panels in the hallways. We didn't know what the hell to draw, so we mixed fantasy, cartoons, sci-fi, and football. But by the time we graduated from middle school, we weren't even finished with it. Later I found out they just painted over it and got professionals. They wasted time and money because they shouldn't have let kids done it with no actual rules or restrictions.
That teacher is such a jerk! It just makes me so mad cuz art teachers are so typical. I've heard so many stories from artists say that art teachers are like this. 😡💥😢
Love how the drawings came out. the exercise that you're doing is super helpful for art block.😊❤
Yeah... tbh though after thinking about it, I should probably make another video about some good art teachers I've had over the years as well. They definitely haven't all been bad, and this particular one was the craziest for sure.
Yeah my art teacher hated me too. She didn't go as far as to do anything like mark me low, she at least had the decency to be unbiased with grades, but she would get angry/tell me off a lot for different things (like waiting for a crowd to die down to go grab art supplies). We had these little class events where we stopped working and we walked around the class to look at other people's work and then she'd ask who's work stood out. If anyone called my name out, she would acknowledge it. When someone elses name was called out, the class all went over and took a look and talked about what was good or bad. So yeah I was thankful that she was unbiased with grading, but she definitely didn't help build my interest of art up (which is why I didn't go on to major in it. Luckily I decided to go back to it in College (and thank GOODNESS the teacher at college let me in based on my personal art, because usually they don't let you if you didn't get a grade in it from school!)) College was so much better, the teacher really boosted my confidence and was as enthusiastic about everyone's art as we were, honestly the best experience of my life so far
I can completely relate to your story about your Art Teacher.. I had an Art Teacher in High School who hated me also. I loved drawing and drew every day since I was a child.. However I ended up hating art for nearly 20 years because of her. She failed me at Art class. To catch her out I put her to the test and started doing my friends assignments .She past all of them but still failed me.
I just wanna say, the art in this video is so lovely!
Some people should clearly not be teachers.
My natural science teacher hated me even though I was always on time, quiet when expected to, did all of my work on time.
He graded my test different from other even though I had written the same answer as my friends. He made me retake every single test several times until I was good enough in his eyes. He made me cry. I went to the principal. He didn't listen.
I ended up barely passing because of him
During my very first animation course in college I had a teacher that hated my character designs and I had to repeatedly change it during critiques mainly because the characters I drew had very anime-like features to it and he didn't like that and would always go on this rant that anime isn't acceptable in the industry especially American animation companies and that anime all look the same so that we should avoid it. I had to really change my art style throughout the whole class and in future projects. I felt a bit discouraged because of this and confused about my career path at this point. I get that they try to be honest about how the industry is really like but I don't think they realize how it can affect artists and how they feel about their art. I think I just learned to accept it and be open to learning more of how I wanted to get better if I really wanted to be in this industry. Honestly now I really don't know what I want to do and I'm still figuring that out.
My elementary school art teacher actually made me hate art class because it was never fun. She had a golden student who would always end up in the local community art show (she could have put more people she always chose one girl). the community art show was supposed to show that these kids had talent in art. She never let us be very creative in our works so i hated the class. We had to follow everything step by step. I didn’t really love art class until 5th where we got a new art teacher who allowed kids to explore the medium they are working with and do what they want with the medium. She changed my life with art class because she said that when i mixed purple(red and blue), i did really well for my first time mixing it. And it made me so happy to hear praise for being able to do something art related.
Now i’m older. I’ve gotten into my local art show about 5 times now (and some of my works have been submitted for contests in my city, plus i’m a NAHS board member for my HS, i’ve run the HS open art studio) I’ve gotten an award last year for academic excellence in my design class.
I was the only one out of all of my teachers classes (Design 1, 2, and 3) that she chose. And i was in Design 1, but i always went after school to continue projects and i went above and beyond what was required.
Each teacher at my school chooses 1 kid out of all of their classes to be put into the academic excellence awards. You get an official letter from the schools principal saying you’ve been chosen.
Yes i’m flexing about my art journey because i’m proud of it and how far i’ve come
I failed art class twice in highschool, my teacher wasn’t very fair at all and the highest grade I got on a project was a B, that same project I won a gold regional award with... every project after that I either got a D or an F. I stopped taking art class after that.
did u conquer europe
i absolutely enjoy your art. you are so talented !
yOOO dang!! while already reading the title I’m surprised! I don’t have time to watch it now but I’ll be sure to watch it tomorrow morning :0
storytimes are usually really interesting, and combined with your art it’s going to be even better! I’ve read a few of the comments and can tell it’s gonna be a ridee 👀
Wow, that sounds so familiar :D Perhaps she was also jealous, because you were better than her already xD I can't believe some adults still behave like that, it's just so childish
I also had a high school art teacher who just hated me for some reason, I had him for pottery his first year teaching and after that he just always seemed to despise me. We had a final project and he did like my concept, we were to make a horn, but make it into an animal. I choose a whale shark, and was 75% done with my project, I just had to paint it. Well a week before the dead line, my project went missing from the locked cabinet. Note this was first period, he locked the cabinet after every period, so when I asked him about it he said he had no idea where it went. I asked if he had seen any other student working on it and if so it was my project, he said no other student were doing a whale shark. So I had to restart my project with only a week left. Because he said "I dont remember what your project looked like so you can either take a C- or re do your project." So i redid it, without painting it....I believe I got a B.
He also hated anime and my art style, but when we got a freshman in our class who was really fucking weird, he stopped hating me and started hating this kid, so woohoo....
I just LOVE listening to you!
I had the same thing happen to me during the science fair. I spent 8 hours doing a forensic blood spatter experiment and another 8 writing a 5 page detailed analysis and report of my findings and she said I plagiarized it and gave me an f on it. It was the final btw. Next year she was my home ec teacher and she failed the whole class! Woo
My dad grounded me for 3 months (very dysfunctional man), and in that, I wasn't allowed to do my extracurriculars. One of those was Advanced Placement art -- which was a real class with real High School credits, but for the class it was mandatory to go to class during school hours AND stay after school 2 times a week to work on our portfolios. So I failed that class (AND Marching Band -- also an after school practice situation) because of this. My Art Teacher and I were really close so we were both upset at the situation and she did her best to get me through it but it just wasnt enough.
Wow this sucks. I had a digital art teacher my freshman year of highschool who gave me so much crap about my style and tastes with my art. He constantly put me down even though I was learning digital for the first time. He never helped me he just told me every mistake I made and how bad I was at art. I failed his class and my mom flipped on him when I explained why I suspected he failed me (yet he didnt fail students who skipped class and cheated). Every time I had him after he made me drop, failed me, or overall ruined it for me. My senior year he even played a part in the destruction of a massive clay sculpture I was working on for a scholarship and art show and I lost a huge chance but no one cared what he did to me
I had an art teacher years in high school. She was on everyone list if you remotely miss one shad of color or do one thing slightly wrong in her eyes she instantly would try and fail you. Like She even told me later on that I wouldnt get anywhere in the art world if I continued. I was afraid to continue on in the world till I meet my painting in collage.;
My highschool art teacher had a problem with me too. She NEVER had anything good to say about anyone who wasn't already on the art scholarship roll, she would walk up and jerk my pencil from my hand to DRAW OVER what I'd spent two weeks working on as my final project for the majority of the EOC test. She would intentionally "lose" your work if she didn't like you and then go "Well I can't give you anything other than an F, I can't find your piece" when I found out the reason she'd zeroed in on my specifically, I quit the class. She had an issue with the size of my breasts, and because I used to be naturally endowed, my chest would jiggle when I'd erase and the males in my class never stopped harassing me over it. She was bitter because I had bigger breasts. In the end I developed an eating disorder you lose weight and I now struggle to stay above 90 lbs, my tits are gone, I have never been in such poor health, and it started with one jealous teacher who'd rather have bullied her students alongside her other students rather than punish the males who kept grabbing at me. I became a very good artist, but I did it on my own, without the bullshit taking classes involves, and I have never regretted quitting art classes. My work got better after I quit any damn way
I hope you feel better soon!!! Jealousy can make people do the most mean things, and try to make you feel bad to make themselves feel good. They just lack character. You should feel sorry for them, and never let them get the best of you. I wish you the best!!!
Ugh that teacher is awful! Really glad you didn’t stop because of that, you’re very talented and passionate about art! 💕
What’s with adults getting jealous of kids and trying to bring them down??? Hearing a lot of about that. 🤔
Amazing 🔥
You have a real talent ☺️
There was a system in my high school where they would put you in classes you didnt want to be in sometimes, so the art class I was in had a lot of people who didnt even want to be there. Nonetheless, my art teacher would give them really high grades and think that they're doing amazing when they're *literally trying to fail the class*, meanwhile. I was in there because I'm an artist and I failed the class because she didn't like the artwork that I would do outside of the class. She constantly put down my art and she also made fun of my face during a tutorial on drawing faces. That was fun
My tip is to just never take art classes. Self taught all the way.
Teaching is not for everybody. People who wants to teach should really encourage people to do their best and put effort and love in wath they're doing. I can see a good teacher pointing out what a student need to improve and how to do it, but simply telling someone "they're not good" never taught anything to anyone in history. Also as an adult I recollect how hard it is for the youngests to overcome insecurities and self-doubts, I think that woman had personal issues and she just wanted to put them on you instead of investigating on why she was feeling those harsh feelings towards your art. She was jelous an not capable to admit it to herself.

I just felt in love whit your content ✨
Well i love how you turned the situation into good you kept pursuing art and now your out her inspiring so many young artist and other artist (including me) keep doing you yanna ig you could say who’s laughing now 🥺😂💜
tbh? same. I skipped so much of grade 12 because of issues and the fact I didn't fail that year or grade 11 was sheer luck but my art teacher hated me too. she didn't just hate me she hated a couple of my school friends in my classes, and one of them had to switch schools for other reasons and she flourished at the new school because the teachers there actually taught the class and actually explained what the hell we were meant to be doing. in all fairness I didn't help myself because I wasn't in a good spot but the fact I had to take an extracurricular university run course to understand what I was meant to be doing in my regular class was ridiculous! she also really wanted everyone to make art exactly like her which was kinda shitty especially considering it was grade eleven and twelve art which is folio based and you choose your theme
I love this! 😁😍 I just started my second sketch book so I just got into drawing and I love it and I want to improve my art style! I love how u draw!❤️
Wow. How did this story make me mad!!!😂 I would have been SO pissed off if that had happened to me. It's such a shame that teachers like that are allowed to be in charge of students. It sounds to me like she was jealous of your talent and hard work. Normally people like that can see when someone is going to be successful and they try their hardest to discourage them, but I'm glad that you didn't let it get to you. ❤️ I've never faced this kind of thing from a teacher, but I have faced it from my fellow peers and it sucks I'm not gonna lie. Honestly, everyone need a bit of your "fuck off"attitude. This was a fun video!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yeah hahah I had a lot of anger issues in those days. Pretty glad about it tbh, because if it was anything else i would have just quit. I think the worst part is that this sabotaging behaviour is usually something they're totally unaware of -_-
throughout highschool we had 2 main art teachers and a supplie that majored art in collage. In grade 10 we got the supplie because the teacher the year before went to the hospital and got surgery for something. Anyways a common theme in our art classes was that each week we would get a prompt and we had to make a drawing around the prompt and use the medium for that week. One of the prompts was shoe. So in grade 10 one of the prompts was shoe. I erased the mark from before that was on the paper and handed it in again. The first mark I got was 6.5 the second? 9.5!
i love your linework.
I'm happy I never had an experience like this w/ a teacher of mine throughout school
My highschool teacher was mostly just impressed that I had any kind of foundation and asked where I learned from
She was super chill though and spent her studyhall classes painting a big ass painting of how the Joker has looked through the years during my second school year w/ her
Edit: I find it very ironic that the Non Traditional art teacher was bitching about digital art
I would love to see your old art! ❤️🎨
This happened to my friend . She was amazing at Art and i really looked up to her and she helped me improving and always encouraged me to draw so much. One day we were assigned to draw a landscape and she drew it digitally and the teacher said she didnt draw it and gave her a 6 which is the worst mark in german grading system. She actually ended up Not drawing anymore at all in That class and failed.
Everything she said was literally everything I went through. Only difference is I made it KNOWN I that I didn’t care for her opinion. It seems that if ur passionate in art, in an art class, the teacher be hating. Especially if it ANIME! They’ll fail u just got that.
I bet the actual problem was that you were drawing anime when you were supposed to be drawing realistic
Watching you sketching is really interesting and this is a great idea with the watercolor blobs, I will try that in my sketchbook too =)) I love the contrasty look of this with the watercolor tones in the background :> and the teacher was maybe just really really uncontent with her situation I guess? :D° Otherwise I cant imagine how she should be so unmotivating to her pupils U_U
Hey I happen to know someone else who failed Art class
There was this PE teacher in middle school that would always try to humiliate me and my friends. The first time she screamed at us in front of the class when we were doing a class presentation, which i think is so unprofessional if someone did something wrong then just teach the right way dammit . Second time she told us to show her how to stretch for an exercise, we were not confident at all we didn't know how to do that well but still we did and talked about the muscles etc and she threw her book on us because we were doing it wrong , insteand of showing it to us she just screamed we were mortified and scared, we were also alone with her in that class i remember i had a mini panick attack that day , we were thinking this women is taking advantage because all of us are shy and quiet and she is crazy. The third time she told me to give her my art sketch book because i was not paying attention in class, detail everyone had their phones on , everyone was talking, playing, some kids were outside the class, she was not teaching anything just talkng with some kids and i was just quietly drawing when she tried to take my notebook, she told me if i didn't give it to her i was banned from classes ... I was so feed up with her that i threw my notebook on the floor and left the class and told her to kick me out i don't give a fuck, she was shocked and remained quiet because i finally said something, then i left class and proceed to go cry in the bathroom. I never disrespected any teachers, my mom is a professor so i just stayed quiet in the classes that didn't interest me, i had good grades in the classes i liked and that i knew i would need for my future career but in the other ones i didn't care about i was not doing so well, the thing with my country is that you can't choose your subjects you must learn everything which sucks and i think that really destroys a kids self confidence cause at some age you already now what you are interested in and people make you feel bad if you are not good in certain subjects for example , they treat you like you are dumb. I wish i could go back to highschool with the mentality i have today , i would've enjoyed my highschool experience much more
My worst art teacher omggg, very similar experience, only that interaction was the entire semester for me. I've never debated leaving a class because I was afraid of a teacher. Not once, lol. The first day we had to turn in 5 drawings and people that did worse than I did received no flack, but it was like a movie how she laid into me, I literally couldn't believe how many times a complete stranger said they were disappointed in my work quality 😳 She got done verbally whipping me and she ends it with, "do you understand me?!" And I didn't well up or miss a beat before I went, "yeah" as sarcastically as I could. She just went, "Oooh" with the most venomous tone I'd ever heard, LOL. After that, she would just generally target me in critiques and at one point I sent her an email saying I missed class because I had a fever, and I got nothing back, next class I went in and she cornered me like,, "Where were you?" And I was like, "did you get my email?", "Yes" "then why are you asking?", GUESS WHAT SHE SAYS IN RESPONSE, "Because I can" 💀💀 It's been a few years since then, and I actually recently learned they were shuffling professors around to teach in the illustration class I'm currently in, because before I even signed up, the aforementioned professor had very vaguely "Gone back to New York, and would not be working there in the future" 👀
I had gotten a D in art class when I was in 7th grade. So far that has been the only class I have gotten such a bad grade in. Someone had died when I was in that class, so I had missed school days. I was supposed to make up assignments, but I never did. That’s what hurt my grade so badly. Oh well. That was a crazy year.
I failed art class in highschool also. I am terrible with my hands and can't articulate ideas in a tangible form. Years later, I have done some cool stuff with video and audio editing software. I also have a keen eye for photography. Art classes don't work for some people.
When I was in middle school we had to draw something during art classes (portrait I guess). Like, we were instructued on the beginning and had to finish during the same class. When the teacher saw my work she literally said "You did't draw that." and was so sure about that lol. I was speachless but internally screaming "uh lady wth? The who did?" I started and finished it in front of her eyes and she acted like this xD It wasn't an art school, just regular school, and she wasn't even an artist. I was one of those few kids who had some more developed artistic skills and she obviously had a problem with that. I can't recall any other issues she had with me but as far as I remember it was rather a daily basis xD Luckily I didn't care much about her since I realized that she was simply pouring her frustration on us. Seriously, some people REALLY should consider choosing different career than being a teacher before they ruin children's and teenagers' lives.
ughh =__= It's honestly so gross how often this happens. Grown ass people resenting children is so psychologically stunted. It's really good that it didn't affect you much!
All my classmates(or not all) hated my English teacher, One time my teacher was teaching in class and one of my friends were drawing/doodling. She was still listening though, Then our teacher noticed it and scolded her for not listening (as I said before she was)
I don't exactly remember what happened but she started crying, She kept on crying until she had trouble breathing, My teacher didn't even care.
Your art is GREAT! Your figures are amazing!
It's like Jordan Peterson points out, the postmodernists hate competence. There's a resentment built into everything! I had a similar experience with my grade 12 art teacher, also a postmodernist, and she gave me a 55%, after I was a teacher assistant, lead the life drawing class and after-school programs. Well, another great quote from Frank Sinatra: Succes is the best revenge!
I wanna imagine her face if you brought your digital works on your laptop/tablet and saw your process and see that you were right the whole time
