Today, I was putting the finishing touches on my portrait of a young boy in art class. I asked my teacher if she could help correct the bad parts of my portrait. She said, "Well that would take all day and I just don't have the time." She was serious. I thought this was my best work yet. FML

She shouldn't be teaching if she isn't going to be more constructive with her criticisms. =/

The comic doesn't fit, as some have said. If maybe, in the comic, Student asked "Would you tell me what you think?" Teacher's response might fit better. As for the FML itself, it's not really. Besides, you know the teacher better than any of us do. Is the teacher the kind who'd "motivate" students by berating them (kinda like coaches do) to get them to work harder?

I feel for you, OP, I hated art class in high school with a passion. My teacher would "lose" my art and say that I never handed it in. Goodbye, 25% of my mark!

I don't think that they should have chosen this FML for an illustration....it sucks, just like the kids drawing!!

Art teachers can be really bitchy, I've learned that the hard way. My teacher won't help you correct your art- she'll do it for you then go on about how much better it is now that she fixed it.

that could mean 1 of 3 things: 1. her definition of art differs from yours. 2. she's just jealous of your artistic talents. or 3. shes a bitch.

1. That teacher's a bitch. 2. I've never taken an art class for that reason. 3. My art is just fine and i don't need some stuck up snob saying on what is and isn't art.
