since i'm still stewing over this, lemme just—
Dear Mister "I can totally relate to you,"
Do you really think that you can toss this at me and expect me to be happy that you want me to work on this on top of my other schoolwork and hobbies? Really? No, I'm not fucking happy that I have to copy a master's work because you think it'll be good for us, when this shit is going on and art isn't the center of my life. No, I'm not going to be happy with a series of assignments revolving around a subject that I am not well-acquainted with or care for. No, I'm not going to spend 8 hours a day working on assignments that aren't even the main project. No, I'm not fucking happy about your high expectations when I am so mentally drained that I can barely drag myself to a table to draw a single line, when my own expectations of myself already give me more stress than I need. This is not a good situation to be in, locked up in my house day after day with nothing to do to keep me motivated and actively engaged in work.
And DO NOT waste 2 HOURS of MY TIME to drone on and on about fucking politics and the fucking virus when that is the ONLY thing I hear about now. This is Commercial Art, not Current Events. You should not be wasting my time going over your views and saying that it's "good to hear all of this" when you're just being fucking rediculous and overdramatic about everything. Comparing this to the Spanish Flu? Are you serious? I don't even care if our views on the situation differ, it's the fact that you are dragging me out of bed at nine in the morning and rambling on until lunchtime talking about anything and everything BUT THE CLASS I SIGNED UP FOR.
AND none of this shit is required. Some people that are in a crashing low cannot pull themselves together just for your stuff because you think that "just drawing" will pull them out of a block. That's not how this works. They are not just "sad," they are people with lives, and you bash them for not attending the meetings, not reaching the rediculous expectations you have for them? But, oh, you can't make us do anything and this is our choice, but fuck you for making the people that aren't attending or participating out to be horrible, unreliable people. This is not a situation where it is easy to do these kinds of hands-on classes.
I respect you and everything, but right now you're just pissing me off. I'm by no means a perfect student, nor a perfect person. You don't need to remind me by expecting us to achieve the same level of skill as your best students in the past, nor should you be comparing. Critiques are good, yes, but point out flaws and flaws only in one person's work and then everything right in another's immediately after makes the former feel pretty shitty.
*deep breath*
All in all, shut up, have reasonable expectations, don't call me out for not being as actively involved and art-obsessive as the entire class, and be a little less dramatic :)
kay? thanks,
A pissed off student of yours
