Every time she left, I erased the work she had done and would do it again in my own way. She told me I was doing it wrong and I told her that it was MY work, and if I wanted it without details, I wouldn’t make details. She gave me a lower-than-usual grade but I didn’t care.

Anyway I used loads of dark cutouts and only like four lighter cutouts because I already had an idea of what I was gonna do. Every time that artist walked by me she would be like “Oh sweetheart, don’t you want something lighter, like the roses here?”. I would always say no thank you and she would turn up her nose and walk away. When I was up to the gluing stage, I had decide to make a beach with a huge cave with water in it. Out of magazine cutouts. It was looking really cool and realistic and the artist came over again and PEEELD OFF the already glued on pieces and rearranged it while saying “See, it’ll look better if you cover all theses dark pieces and move them under this.” I quietly told her what I was doing and she told me that it was a bad idea for a GIRlL to do and I should do a flower garden instead.

I have a funny (kinda) experience with art teachers: My fifth grade art teacher was very very strict, and always wanted us to draw “perfect”. I’m not exactly the best in traditional art, although I’m waaay better at digital art (not on a level that I personally like, but still better) and I once mentioned that I do digital art in class and she went off “Oh, digital art? If you ask me (jokes on you, I didn’t ask) it’s not even real art.” Without giving any real reason. And since she was one of my favorite teachers, it totally discouraged me and I stopped doing art for about 2 years. My 7th grade teacher tho, was different. Yes, she was strict, but she wanted us to explore it on our own. She had certain standards but everyone was free to figure out the way they would meet these standards. After I have gotten back to digital art, I once asked her while cleaning the classroom what she thought about digital art. Her answer was “I personally think that digital art is an amazing form of art. It gives the artist more opportunities to explore, without being afraid that they wasted too much money in the medium. It’s complicated and complex in its own way, which makes it really unique! I don’t think it’s invalid just because it’s a screen” and this made me really happy!

Ok so the part about toxic paints is absolutely valid and true, but you left out that it is only a small number of *pigments* that do it, not colors. There isn't a specific shade of orange that can be toxic, but there is a specific orange pigment that can be toxic (usually cadmium). To be sure, look at the pigment identification number (ie PB28, or pigment blue 28, for a cobalt blue) not just the name. You also left out that this isn't just for acrylics, but for all types of paint. But an upside is that paint companies are starting to phase out using those toxic pigments in their paints. Now either having mixes/hues of that color, removing them from preselected sets, and/or making them more expensive to make people reconsider buying them. Ok that's the end of this massive PSA

It will always be annoying to me, because I prefer comic-book art style to anything else and some bitches really gonna stop in front of it and say it's not worth a dime, when I've worked my whole life to reach that level of accuracy, but will stop next to a naked gal in weird position and be like "THIS IS ART."

That’s really interesting! The main reason art teachers rejected anime/manga style art in the past was mainly because it didn’t sell at all in the west. Anime was considered a niche, underground market only a few decades ago, so it makes sense why art teachers would discourage western students from pursuing paths like those. However, now that anime/manga has become mainstream in the west, it’s now acceptable to use it at certain art schools considering how it actually has a market.

So about the "Adobe or else" section: My teachers in the Digital Media department absolutely HATE Adobe and Autodesk, and have been looking for any kind of software that can do the same job so they can make the switch. Cheaper is better, and if they find alternatives to subscription-based software, they'll teach us how to use that program instead. For 2D and 3D animation, they had us use Blender. For Post Production, they had us use DaVinci Resolve which can substitute for Audition, Premiere, AND After Effects. They didn't have substitutes for Photoshop and Illustrator, but I think the Affinity Suite might just replace it in the near future. But also, my teachers were trend breakers who did freelance work, and sold 3D assets on online marketplaces, so they're not exactly the old fashion types.

Their viewpoint is problematic in the way it is presented, but you should consider learning the rules first if you want to break them. Stylised art is good, but you should also know the basics and the rules in order to warp them. Not learning the fundamentals can stagnate your growth as an artist. The fundamentals are there to teach you methods on how to tackle your art, not just waste your time. You need to be able to warp it in a way that is still aesthetically pleasing, or just easier for you to do because you know the techniques that you can apply.

I've never picked up a Wacom or drawing tablet, I've never used the PC for coloring, I've never been good at doing Graphic Design or anything Art-wise digitally, but I respect those whose brains are "wired" to pick up "digital art" more naturally than me, the end result of that artwork blows my mind and I respect that finished product, but NEVER will I respect the idea of relying on non-traditional methods that don't start with mechanical pencil and paper and whatever coloring medium y'all choose! I'm content in the Traditional method of creating art because I'm in my comfort zone, and I keep learning the traditional way, because in the end, clients still want the physical feeling of paper, but not just paper, the feeling of the medium used on that paper, and that REAL EFFORT and Love went into actually drawing, coloring and getting one's hands dirty to create it! You CANNOT replace that with digital art or Graphic Design, which is why I'm proud to be a Traditional illustration artist!

[@Luminous_Star_21]

@@michaelsimkins7078 I do get that. As I do sometimes draw tradionally. But I find drawing digital comes more naturally to me. I do like have a physical copy of art if someone does draw something for me. I've been trying to draw more in my sketch book rather on my laptop so often.

Im a self taught artist ,in south africa, my highschool teacher is kinda cool with things like digital art and pencil on paper art (whatever u call it )but school work art has to cover the whole page ,i think it kinda sucks for the others so i'd pretty much preffer digital art cause you have a variety of coloures (colors in america😒😒)and tools.

Even though I don't have many artists in my family, one thing I'm super grateful is how much my family believes in me and my art. Whether it was traditional, digital, or anything else my family would always try to help me get whatever supplies I needed to continue art. I still have a long way to go, but I think I've gone so much farther because of my family. Thank you, family.

Bruh fanart allows you to go into big communities with lots of people to give you exposure, compliment you, give feedback, and most likely fellow artists to help you. Fanart is not gonna get you into trouble (unless you take credit for someone else's work thats a whole other rabbit hole)

[@kyanit3]

About that last one: I go to a normal university and I’m majoring in fine arts and I’ve met more connections to professional artists from just going to the job help desk and asking for a local artist that I can “shadow” for a day or going out of my way to meet the speakers my art history prof brings in than I’ve heard of from most people who went to pro art schools. I think making connections it’s just intention.

[@Sharkuterie327]

Right, the program does zip to introduce you to studios/companies/professionals. Unlike other majors like engineering where interviews are practically arranged for you. Yet some art schools (not uni majors) will advertise they provide this service and then they don’t.

I didn’t have my first real art class till my last year of high school. That teacher till my next two brought me down and almost made me quit doing art. Teach 1 “artist don’t use rulers, black paint and must use heads for measurements. Teach 2 “anime isn’t real art” Teach 3 “anatomy is everything, it much be done perfectly and my the style I teach you and use” teach 3 didn’t have the nerve to tell me to my face why he thought of my style and art, he wrote a letter. In summery it said I have little to no skill in art, that I need to give up and do something else...oh and that I’m a distraction to everyone and leave my friend so I don’t bring him down. I almost gave up on doing more art, my friend told me to take one more art class and I did and I meet the most amazing teacher. She told use that art isn’t a long learning the teachers style but for the teacher to help find our style and help it grow. That there’s a difference between talent and skill, that art is everywhere; you just have to know where and how to look for it. I don’t see how art teachers can say and do stuff that can essentially break a person and keep them from doing something they enjoy or want to do in life. Their here to teach us not break us down but it’s sad that they do the opposite. Sorry I wrote so much, this video hit me hard lol

I remember that each time I draw anime, my art teacher literally says to stop drawing anime and whenever I try drawing the things I'm supposed to draw, shes always saying "great job!" At me, but whenever I see this one girl who does realistic on lessons like drawing and comparing realistic items to paper (and I'm not blaming her for being actually better because I am more onto anime drawing, but i had to do some structured art to get better at buildings) so guess what that art teacher says, "OH MY GOD!!! you are TALENTED and it's so BEAUTIFUL!" I legit started feeling the sudden slap in the face even possibly the other students did too when they heard it, I felt upset about it but I ignored because of reasons (1. The student that was complemented will possibly feel like it's her fault 2. Shes not my problem to begin with), I even had to deal with how she judges all of our ways of doing our own versions of art, even alot of times I hear classmates leaving or getting upset and yelling because of how SHE wants it to be, and now I'm thinking, my 3rd grade artist was nicer and treated everyone equally for how they do it, even my sister says before going to 6th grade she said her art teacher was cooler than what we have now, but I am gonna be a 9th grader, so I'm happy I graduated 8th grade in the first place because most teachers was not my favorite, only a few was and will be (Truth is if I hear drama on replies sections, please delete them, its ridiculous, this wasn't intended to be that dramatic, but this was after throughout my 6th after 8th, I'm a 9th grader, and it should be a past already)

[@stickling3294]

IKR? And yet they still define it as “easy” and “cartoons”, I mean, it’s not like most art graduates become cartoon animators right? 🤦‍♀️ It’s like they expect every single student to one day own their very own museum full of copied “real” art.
