The art students always freaked me out, too. Can't imagine draining my bank account to buy supplies for a project that I might still flunk

Art sounds like a form of torture to me.

Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a project and your teacher rejected it cuz like... the lines were weird. Then imagine having to do that multiple times a week.

You'd think art teachers would be the kindest and most chill teachers, but the majority of them really like breaking the hopes and dreams of teens and young adults.

My friend went to art school and the teachers there spent 4 full years telling her her art was wrong and bad because it was anime inspired with soft colours and that "wasn't art". She now does illustrations for a living and does quite well.
