Today, my sculpture, which is very important for my art grade, fell from my desk and broke to pieces. My art teacher suggested I soak the parts in water to make it easier to stick them back together. They dissolved. FML

Do you have time to remake it? If not your art teacher should understand. She was the one who suggested you soak them in water.

If you're going to have the first comment, you at least have to make it good. No shit it sucks. Douche bag. This art teacher obviously didnt know wtf they were talking about.

give a speech about trial and loss and say "if this isn't art, I don't know what is." then walk out of room covering face

19, I've never had the first comment before. So I am a douche bag, even though I haven't done anything wrong to you at all.

I love art, and I think a good artist can save any kind of drawing. Even if its fallen apart you can be creative and make something out of it.

I'm not totally sure but if the sculpture is made out of the right material it can be remolded if you get it a bit wet

^ This. If your teacher doesn't give you extra time, then it isn't fair because it was her mistake.

Or u could just say "hey you're an idiot. Maybe acid will fix ur brain..." and instead ur teacher will dissolve

This was OP's fault. I'm assuming this sculpture is made of a clay considering the advice from the teacher. OP obviously let it soak for far too long because clay doesn't just dissolve once it touches water. Then again, I suppose it could also just not be clay. It was just the scenario that I thought of.

Well either way, that does suck. Maybe you can create a new one that is even better than the first.

You should have rubbed the edges with a vinegar slip. It is really good for piecing sculptures back together. That's what I use when my sculptures break.

What the teacher probably meant was for OP to get it wet not drown it in water. Most anything I can think of right now that could be stuck back together by dunking In water wouldn't dissolve immediately it would have to be left in running water for a while. Maybe my memory is just bad. Either way it's OP's fault for not know the properties of the material being worked with, it's not the art teachers fault for assuming trying to give helpfull advice.

Nevermind that in art, knowing how to work with the medium is just as important as knowing what to do with it.

What was it made out of? Seems like you'd know ahead of time what dissolves in water and what doesn't

"It was an ice sculpture. I was lead to believe water would make ice stick back together." -O.P

Since it was her suggestion, she may let you remake it or do something else.

It only dissolves if you soak it for too long it's the OPs fault not the teachers
