Then he stated how relieved he was that you had fond memories. He also was shocked you still had that note. He said he is Very Proud of your success. Oh, and the vending machine, it was always jamming taking people’s money. It had it coming.

I truly wish I had an art teacher like that, most of the artists I had were mostly like 'okay we're sculpting clay today' or 'we're making prints today' but the one art teacher that I had, was my vocational teacher, who taught Commercial art. We called him Mr. B, so I'll use it here. He taught me the fundementals, told me about how I could use paypal to pay for my work(Which later got hacked but we don't talk about that) and kind of encouraged me in a way to actually take art seriously, and treat it like a trusted business partner and not just a playground best friend, if you catch my drift.

[@itsjustmeandmycats]

CW Death I don’t think I have the energy to type how much my art teacher meant to me. She taught me through 1st-8th grade and I love her so much. She died but me and my friends from that time still absolutely treasure her and I still have some of the artwork I made in her classes. 💚 love you Ms. K. She was also a coach and made an impact on countless lives. I’ll never forget her. Art teachers deserve so much more (funding, support, appreciation, etc)

God this video was so sweet it nearly made me cry, Mr. Hudson is a blessing of a man, reminds me of my spanish teacher, who, ironically enough, was known by the kids, as one of the worst teachers in the school, he was known for yelling, being grumpy and being strict, though looking back on it, this was probably because foreign languages were compulsary in my school, and most of the kids who didn't want to do languages ended up choosing spanish together so they could mess around in class, and somehow in increasingly obnoxious ways, yet, when said kids would suddenly all get "sick", you could really tell he cared for the class now that he wasn't having to spend most of his time telling them off, if it wasn't for him I probably would've given up on Spanish as I had always wanted to speak it, but was stuck with learning French instead (which is just, not a fun language imo) until we got to choose our options, meaning while everyone else had already been doing Spanish for 3 years, I was just starting, and the degree to which I was falling behind at first, really got to me, I thought I was awful and that me doing Spanish was pointless, and yet, one day when we were packing up for lunch, he just said something that, really impacted me "If I had a class of clones of you, teaching could be like a dream", and that really stuck with me, it motivated me to push further, and it was just moments like this, that pushed me to do as well as I did, I will always appreciate what he did for me, until the day that I die.

I love art teachers, every art teacher I had was amazing to me, and the last year of my middle school era ended with my own Mr Hudson, mrs j. She was incredible, she cared about us deeply and even though she barely knew me the one morning something traumatic happened to me, she sat down with me and talked pausing the whole class just to be sure I was okay. She even donated t he art we didn’t want to the elderly home next door! Art teachers will always be amazing people most of the time, and I hope everyone gets a Mr Hudson one day

[@glenngriffon8032]

Its a special feeling to have an adult show actual care and concern about you and try to help guide you in life. I don't know how it is in other countries but here in the US that doesn't happen often and when it does some folks react negatively, thinking the teacher has bad intentions. It's a strange feeling though, going to school, feeling like a kid and having an adult actually speak to you like you're an adult. Talking to you one on one, giving you life advice or just teaching you how to be a little miscreant. I totally would have nabbed from the vending machines because I've done that myself. Snacks and drinks. But yeah, having an adult speak to you like an adult, treating you like a mature person, that was something rare and special to me. I'm an adult now and I miss having someone speak that way towards me. Most adults I know are like me, grown up kids who are still trying to find a place in the world because of how chaotic everything is.

[@edgyfoxgirl8342]

I really wished I had a teacher like Mr. Hudson, I once had a really fun time when I first learned how to play the trombone when I was 12 in the 6th grade. However, the band teacher was the worst human being constantly putting me down and telling me how awful of a trombone player I was and having ridiculously high expectations for me and if I didn't live up to it he'd single me out just to humiliate me. He emotionally abused me so much that I gave up playing it even though to this day at 17 I miss playing it so much. The aftermath of those emotional scars? I struggle with asking for help from a teacher in fear of them humiliating me, putting myself down when I get a failing grade in an elective class, and stressing myself out

[@Miseryplanet]

Glad to hear you had an art teacher like that. My freshman year in high school i had a gruff older guy on the brink of retirement as an art teacher. He would scold you if you talked in class (he even called me and my friend's parents to let them know we were talking to much!) and immediately i thought "I'm going to hate this class. Art is supposed to be fun, right?". Turned out he was very skilled, gave legitimate critiques, encouraged everyone to try new things and push their skills. Honestly, getting an A+ from him on a hand sketched portrait i did was probably the most meaningful grade i'd ever received. I STILL have that portrait today in my box of paint supplies, it's 20 years old at least. My classmates did not like this teacher but he was EXACTLY what i was looking for in teacher. He had rules, expectations, he wanted you to succeed, he'd actually discuss technique and how to develop it. it was the most rewarding year of art I took, because he retired and was replaced by two other teachers that 100% didn't care what was happening and gave no meaningful input whatsoever, everyone else loved them and the easy A's, but i was not happy and butted heads with them through the next 3 years. i expected silly things like "commercial art" to you know, have even a small amount of information about making art commercially. Nope, just a sketch pad with random assignments like "draw a butterfly" that everyone got an A in. Anyway, that's my really long way of saying Mr. Hudson sounds like he was the GOAT of art teachers. I'm thankful for people like him that are so rare, i'm sure he's fantastically proud!

[@Torakosama]

So I think I can explain why Mr. Hudson didn't tell anyone about what was going on wuth you. Sometimes people are being abused at home, and bringing it up with other teachers and parents can make a situation worse. The only time a teacher HAS TO inform a parent or other staff of a student and teacher interaction is when the stufent wants to self harm or harming others. It's honestly more helpful to talk to the student first than to go directly to staf or to the parents, and then if the student would like to, then get parents and staff involved. It's all about consent, and he can't force his way in. I respect that.

[@azuradawn5683]

I don't at all want to take away from the impact this teacher had nor am I disagreeing with you that sometimes getting more people involved is anti-helpful, but (at least in the US), teachers are "mandatory reporters" of abuse. They do not have an option - they can't choose to keep quiet - they MUST report any sign of abuse. If they don't, they can lose their teaching certificate and get arrested. I don't think anything Illy said here would put Mr. Hudson into the realm of having to report, but it's not true that "the only time a teacher has to inform... self harm or harming others..." so I just wanted to clarify that...

[@TheShaleco]

I had a teacher like that in high school. It makes such a big difference to have a teacher at that age that treats you like a person. Like an equal. I would not be where I am today if I didn't have that influence in my life

Oh we love sketchbook straps. So useful, such aesthetic.

I hated our elementary art school teacher. We weren’t aloud to talk, experiment our with art (im serious, we had to follow the lessons she gave us to the very point.) I was an “art prodigy” to her apparently, and even though she complemented me a lot, she pushed me to make art specifically for HER so SHE could keep it. My little kid brain didn’t get I was being manipulated. Always got mad at people for wasting the school’s low quality art supplies, even though I even brought my own sometimes and helped with school fundraisers for the art class. REAL dirtbag.

[@Evangelinescorner]

ooh, that sucks. My art teacher is really nice, she lets you talk "softly" (but with everyone talking, it gets really loud) and she (most of the time) will give you an extension if you haven't finished,

[@itsboltz6761]

My one of my art teachers (Life of a Military kid) would not let you talk, would not let you make jokes and If you added something even remotley unrealated to the topic, DETENTION

[@Evangelinescorner]

@@itsboltz6761 ouch

[@artistic_kind_of_style]

My elementary teachers were like this too, minus the keeping art for themselves part. we'd use paint once a year, and the older kids told us not to expect much, but our 5th grade kiddie brains thought we'd get to do anthin- NOPE. Had to copy one artists painting down to the letter. i even tried to make it this cool pixel art thing, and my teacher made me redo the entire painting. so much for not wasting materials, Huh?

[@prestonchapman4694]

I'm convinced we had the same art teacher

[@chabisaplateau3068]

That sketchbook thing made me tear up. He truly cared about teaching art and his students, what a rare find

[@christophermorton8048]

this is a great example of teachers out there who do make the difference. They are few in numbers, but made the greatest impact. Once teacher I had 30 years ago, made the greatest impact of my life and the success in it. he set the foundation of who I am today. He is now retired but we still have lunches now and then. He remained a part of my life, and I know he has done the same for So many others of his students.

[@catotoole42]

Now I'm crying. I know I will never have a teacher as good as him. He is the definition of a good teacher, helping and inspiring students. He helped you embrace your art, not change it to fit HIS standards.

[@thisisnotacreativename1741]

Lmao the final statement reminded me of my History teacher and Language teacher, they would just shove work on us and then explain what to do once in words that (I'm not kidding) the entire class didn't understand and we just winged it

[@YourLocalAnonAccount]

Now then I realised 2/3rds of the teachers in the Art Department of my school actually prefers students to fit their standards of art when you mentioned it (otherwise they'll not respond pleasently to your presence-)

[@julesoxana]

Hope you will one day❤

[@julesoxana]

​@@thisisnotacreativename1741 My english teacher was similar, we learn english as a second language and she would just read whats on the textbook and made it kinda mundane

[@rjbalbuena7789]

One of the coolest professors I had in college was a stoic man who didnt even teach what was on the prospectus. He just always talked and entertained us with his stories, life experiences and how they applied practically to our vocation as art students. I'll never forget it. It made being an artist fun. He's retired now and lives a quiet life. One of the most truly beloved educators from where I came from. It was a good time to learn and be interested in art. Thank you sir Paul

I'm not crying over the message he left you, that's just something in my eyes... This was so heart warming video and Connor did a good thing voicing Mr. Hudson. Love the video. Great message, great work ^^

[@sorayapoulin]

The note 😭😭😭 so cute ❤ I also had an art teacher in 7th grade who, despite not talking a lot, somehow saw the artist in me and pushed me to continue on this path in life ❤

as a student who values student/teacher relationships a lot, that note he left almost made me tear up. it was so sweet and he didn’t have to do it, teachers like mr. hudson are the best, truly.

[@stardasuperstar895]

He is such an amazing teacher. That note he left actually made me tear up. We need more teachers like him in the world.

[@asielmilian38]

Yeah and I sometimes don't get along with my teachers.

[@Kr_amy]

Im literally crying bc of this story is so wholesome and abit sad at the same time 😭

[@boomgirlbucko]

All you young artists out there, just know that your art usually looks bad to you when you are drawing it. But all you have to do, is finish, take a step back or close your sketchbook for a day. And _then_ look at it. You'll be impressed with yourself. I know I am. I look at a lot of my old drawings and am like "holy crap, I used to be amazing at art" I say used to cuz I've become very lazy and unmotivated with age lol

[@egg-queen3574]

This teacher never forgot what it was like to be a teen or kid. And I bet everyone had major respect for him. This guy is amazing Edit: Woah thanks for the likes!

[@tinof23beans]

Ngl, almost cried. Not sure why, maybe the sweet ending, maybe I'm just overtired. I had a great teacher in my 6th year of schooling, she really helped build up my confidence, and for that I am beyond grateful. Thank you, Miss B.

[@keaton9961]

Almost crying gang rise up

[@NotaArtist]

I had an art teacher similar to Mr Hudson. She was an older woman who could be lovely some days but often was very frustrated with everyone and everything. But she could be really supportive and she was really fucking good at critiques and helping you see what you needed to work on. The first year or two of highschool I thought she hated me. But she was one of the most supportive teachers I've ever had. She would let me and some other students eat lunch in her class and work on things or if our teachers let us come down to her class during her break period to do art and hang out in the quiet class. Honestly in highschool those were some of the best moments. Because I was going through a lot and those times were the few moments I could breathe and just do something I enjoyed. And I improved a LOT. I learned a ton in her class and I got really confident in my abilities. She also took me aside sometime in my last year in that class to call me out for maybe having an eating disorder. And explained her own exspirience with it and how I needed to find help then or it would be a lot harder to get through. I didn't stop then because I still had to convince myself the issue was real, but it still meant so much that she cared enough to notice I wasn't doing okay and to check in an relate her own exspiriences. Unfortunately I didn't really keep contact with her because it turned out she had some really not so ideal views on trans people. And especially in my last year of highschool I was realizing more and more that I might be trans. And i didn't want to put myself into an unsafe situation. But I still am grateful she saw me for my art and for what I was going through. She was one of the reasons I got through highschool. And if I didn't have her to motivate my art I don't think I'd be here today.

[@Razzcandy._.]

I always love your videos and the owl house insert made me so happy I've been rewatching it for months anyway keep up your your great work and i hope you have an amazing year because a week is to short and so is a day and you deserve the best!!!!!!!!

[@digishade7583]

I find it kinda funny how whoever was doing mr Hudson’s voice in this managed to make “don’t put more than five cents in or it won’t work” sound evil Side note I also had a teach who was considered scary but this was in my primary school we called her by her first name instead of the usual mr/ ms, mrs last name and I got on with her just fine

[@rosemary3029]

Cdawg he's cool

[@sarad2487]

"scary" indeed XD also I had (and still have!) a teacher that before I was her student, everyone that was said that she was kinda mean, but when I was her student, did she EVER scold me, like EVER? no. XD

[@shoutaaizawa5810]

I had an arts teacher like this, from grade 5 to 9 (Germany). He seemed intimidating and he was loud and passionate about art, but he was an amazing teacher once he saw that you were serious about your work. He'd always be firm, but helpful with his critiques and he taught me so much. On the last day of class before he retired, he called some of us into the arts room. We'd had a project a couple of months earlier where we made fish out of a styrofoam-like material and he had made us each a dolphin to take home and keep as a memory. He's dead by now. I was devastated when I found out, but I'm still grateful to have had him as my arts teacher for so long. Thanks, Mr. Glockner.

[@jackpijjin4088]

My goal in life is to be someone's Mr. Hudson. I didn't get that blessing in my school days. I might not be a teacher but I've learned a lot and love to pass that knowledge on and give encouragement however I can.
