yr red scare
yr red scare aka Caitlin is Super! is a 23.09 year old girl, has been a member since August 5, 2006, has scored 6,112 submissions, giving an average score of 1.92, helping 82 designs get printed.
My art teacher stole a painting I've been working on and painted over it. It was for the Memory Project, which allows art students to create unique portraits as gifts for orphaned children all over the world. I've been working on my for a while and was about to the point where I could honestly and resolutely say I was done. Then, it disappeared from the art room for a few weeks and returned looking like a portrait of a chipmunk with FAS. %)!@(

She also told me that I won't succeed in college... and that I should incorporate text into my artwork ("you should incorporate text in that" is the second thing out of her mouth during crit.). She's well... to put it lightly, a fucking cunt.

Then again, I'm sure everyone has had their fair share of art teacher horror stories.

I can honestly say that I used to like her up until this year. Fortunately, there are plenty of other wonderful art teachers at my school that I can talk to.



I'm considering redoing the portrait in an easy medium this week, despite the fact that I have exams, just because I can't allow my name to be put on that.

Actually, I'm thinking my orphan has the coloration of a samoa cookie. Mmm. Maybe I'll paint that.



But seriously, what kind of message is that? Oh, I'm sorry your parents are dead and you're probably hard pressed for happiness, so why don't I send you a crappy painting my teacher fucked up.

Art teachers... yeah, I had some bad ones too. Maybe she's "challenging" you. You know, the prove-me-wrong-approach.

She has mental problems, I'm pretty sure.

She's a printmaker. (No offense to good printmakers)



Today my friend told her she got into Parsons (she was pretty happy) and she (the teacher) went on a tirade about how we (her AP class) shouldn't go to name-brand schools because she went to SCSU, Connecticut's crappy idiot-school state university in the ghettos of New Haven and she somehow got a good education.
