So, for my junior year, I've decided to take a few art classes. I figured it would be a nice change and fun. It would be a break from the boredom.

Oh how was I wrong...

The good thing is, I'm not bored in art class. I'm either terrified or anxious.

I'm afraid of my bipolar art teacher. She threw my chair across the room because it SQUEAKED. She won't let you sing in class, even if you're good at it. She yells. If I said anything about it to some bigwig admin they would come into the class and watch. And then she'd act like a perfect little angel.

I'm also very anxious in the class because of the way it's graded. The grades are SO harsh. It's done so art isn't treated as an easy A. At one point, I had a D in crafts. It's frickin' crafts! What the hell?! A D? It's not like I wasn't working the whole class either. I do try. In fact, I've even cried a few times. There are certain "objectives" that you have to fufill to get points. So you can't really make your project how you want it to look. And our teacher also enjoys "fixing" things. In other words, doing things without your permission.

School sucks.

I once had an art teacher that had deep scars all over her arms.

But that besides the point. That's not an art class and your teacher's a fucking lunatic.

^ Yeah, I'd have to agree that's not a normal class you have there. Mine is fantastic, doesn't even feel like I'm in school. You should try and video your teacher's aggressive behavior or something and report her. Unless the school already knows... o_o

I think you should talk to her. Lookright

It could end good..ly, bad...ly or catastrofically..

Lol @ throwing a chair. I've encountered teachers throwing temper tantrums and cursing when students don't obey them, but tossing a chair because of a squeak? Priceless. Got to love how our schools are changing so much. I think that's a sign telling us that their system is starting to give up.

She sounds a bit crazy... Cuckoo

Can you hide a camera somewhere and record her acting like a lunatic, then show that to some bigwig?

HarvestLife · 12-11-2012 07:11 AM

Yep... She's insane. Plus ever her "happy" face is kind of terrifying. It's almost as if it's hiding a churning volcano of rage and hatred. And about recording her... her "episodes" are usually short and they never last long enough to get out a camera and record.

GreenLamp · 12-11-2012 08:03 AM

Is her art any good?

Also, four words: spy recorder pen thingy.

HarvestLife · 12-11-2012 12:29 PM

I don't think I've ever seen anything that she's made.

GreenLamp · 12-12-2012 07:12 AM

Just harvest her life, shouldn't be too hard for you

Once i had a music teacher that got mad at a student and threw a chair at them. This was in like 4th grade.. Do I win?

Who'd take an art course in the year 2012? Today's idea of "art" is furry anime wolves that have Emo fringes, or photographs taken at mirrors with iPhones in them.

We live in a shit generation for art. I'd like to do art in the early 90's when grindcore got some mainstream attention here, and make album art for that. I can't draw for shit though.

So, So true..

The first half I mean. Lol

Hell, if there was even a rumor of a student doing somthing like that, they'd be sending them to the nearest "alternative" school and therapist, after the assault charges of course.

The desperation is palpable, though.

Quote:I had a D in crafts. It's frickin' crafts! What the hell?! A D?

We had an assignment to pour plaster of Paris into a milk carton and sculpt something from the block. I added some red food coloring and the resultant block was pink. I made an Easter Island head because it was easier. I got a D.

I picked up the small statue and smashed it in his garbage can. I said, "give me an F instead."

It sounds like your teacher is a little nuts. These people can be dangerous and I would not suggest doing anything to unhinge her anymore. If she gets any worse, you may have to appeal to the school administration. If you can't record her outbursts, you might be able to get several students to sign a document of her behavior so that it is not just you saying something.

Last artistic thing I made was what the school calls a "bird feeder", but what I call a half eaten coconut with string taped to it.
