Kids: Not respected anymore

Not respected anymore

By Anonymous - 24/04/2009 09:04 - Australia

Today, as a respected artist, I was running a workshop with a bunch of rowdy college kids. I was in the middle of demonstrating a painting technique when I accidentally washed my paintbrush in my coffee instead of my paint water. They waited until I then drank from it to burst out in hysterics. FML

Today, I was working on a painting and went to take a sip of my tea. Instead, I took a swig of paint water. FML

Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML

Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML

Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML

Felt cute, may delete myself later

Today, in an attempt to flirt with a cute guy in art class I barely know, I put on his sweater while he was in the bathroom. He came back just in time to see me spill white paint all over it. FML

Today, I was vigorously putting primer on my canvas for a beginning painting class. I accidentally sprayed specks of primer on the very dark painting to the right of mine. The painter is in an advanced class. She's been working on this one all semester. There's no one to her right. FML

Ruined art

Today, while sitting on a bench drawing, some guy went up to me, yelled, “YOUR ART SUCKS” and flipped my sketchpad out of my hands. I’d been working on that piece for hours and now there’s a big black pencil streak on it. FML

Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML

Today, while painting a wall, I handed a bucket of paint up to my friend who was standing on the top rung of a ladder. She said she felt dizzy, and came crashing down on me, along with the paint on my head. FML

What college is that? A community college?

Look at the bright side... If your work with college kids often and make a habit of not paying very close attention to your coffee, that is probably the least disgusting thing you have drank in your coffee! :)

What do you expect. Guess you are so "Respected" are you. Hope you didn't work in oils or lead based.

Well, that's when you learn to laugh at yourself, I guess. Next time, pay attention though. Saves you from paint flavored coffee.

Wow, this is your big FML? I've done this to myself! Just laugh it off and consider it funny that you had an audience to enjoy this with you!

Why are people ******** on the OP so much? This can happen to anyone. Have any of you ever painted before? You get really into it and it's full of a lot of automatic movements. Then add all those distractions to the mix. And clearly, what a bunch of community college retards think determines whether an artist is respected or not. Because they know all about that.

Agreed, I've done the same thing while painting, and several of my class mates in my BFA program have done the same as well.

The last time I sat in a rowdy art class was 7th grade... I believe they let you drink the paint coffee and laughed, but the rowdiness in general I don't buy. Like #13 said, just be glad it wasn't lead based or something.
