Critique

By mylifeeee - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, in art class, we finally did the critique of the self portraits we've been working on for a month. We critiqued a few and got to mine. Everyone was silent then finally, one girl says "I'm just going to be blunt. It doesn't look like you. You're not that pretty." Everyone nodded. FML

This is so horrible. I swear people don't have filters anymore. Nobody knows how to keep their mouths shut.

You should have told her to go **** herself. and that she should have drawn a **** in her mouth to accurately portray herself. -A

This sounds like my art class some girl did a portrait of her that looked like a model and she... well she didnt look like that but I obviously didn't say anything to her

Did you punch her teeth out?

What a bitch! I hope the teacher chastised her. Besides, portraits are supposed to flatter the subject. Hence the expression, "pretty as a picture."

Let's just settle this. If OP's drawing was distorted to the point where it looked nothing like her, than it was very badly phrased criticism. If the other girl was just jealous that she doesn't have the artistic talent of her, it's a spiteful comment and she is insensitive and rude for saying that. OP shouldn't be offended by criticism; the assignment was (most likely) for accuracy and not for alterations in the final product.

Its alright, no one is ever completely honest with their self portraits :)
