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

If they were being graded for it I would have failed all of them...

Hahaha! FYL, but this is funny. I would do the same thing if I where there. Just sit and wait. Now stop crying like a baby and get over it.

Just a question. If you dipped your brush in your coffee, wouldn't you have noticed the coffee like color whatever paint you were using was tainted?

#23 One would think he would have noticed when he dipped the brush in the coffee first!

Haha, most schools make a rule that you can't have food or beverage in art rooms or labs anyways. Don't you think they make rules like that for a reason?

Not all schools, and instructors sometimes get a pass on that anyway

It's pretty clear that nobody here is an artist. Washing your brush in the wrong cup happens ALL THE TIME TO EVERY ARTIST I KNOW. If those kids were art students, they should have known it too. Also, he could have been switching brushes, thus he would not have seen the brown liquid.

That's not really an FML. Especially if you're an artist, you should know. Shit happens.

Nobody here is an artist? You're pretty quick to jump to that conclusion. Some people just know better than to put a beverage cup anywhere near a paint water cup... or better yet, not using a cup for your beverage...
