like i love my art teacher, shes a babe but why are they all so dramatic
this girl is doing underwater as her theme and was drawing a fish, and she was explaining to the teacher how she was going to incorporate it into the overall theme of "layers" and all that and the art teacher went "hmmm it's nice but why don't you say that the fish is symbolical of drowning? No one pays attention to you and you feel like you're losing yourself in an ocean of tears? You're cutting yourself on your own scales? You're all alone in a stormy sea and a shark is trying to eat you???"
like omg just let the girl draw her fish she wants to do underwater why does everything have to be so serious in art.
i was drawing this onion and I was trying to do it in the style of David Hockney sketches, which is very light, messy, squiggly lines. (his paint work is real nice, but his sketches are well sketchy) and I was pretty happy with how it was turning out. An important part of our art module is showing how other artists have influenced our work, so I was getting some down early to hit those points.
and my art teacher comes over and takes a 4B pencil (it's very dark with thick, soft lead) and starts adding all these thick lines and shadows without asking me yeah i mean it looks like a good study, it's a better drawing now, but I wasn't trying to draw it realistically, I was trying to draw it like David Hockney. and she asked what I was doing for my theme and I said 'maybe rings in a tree? Like the layers in nature?' and she just went off on this speel about 'ahh yes, the layers no one sees! You could have you smiling, but then you in a mirror, crying! A forest that looks good, but the flip side is death and decay! How about dead birds, why don't you make your theme dead birds'
no im not drawing dead birds, Miss. im just not.
art doesn't have to be dark!!!!! and meaningful!!!!! and edgy!!!!! let us draw our fishes and and tree stumps in peace!!!!
