Hi Gingerpale!!!!!!!!
Ah yes, the “can’t you draw anything else?” from like, everybody in my classes growing up. The hyperfixation struggles. Especially in a small town that was hardly aware of new or even popular concepts and characters.
My classmates ask me that so much lol, I just doodle cats on paper all the time, never humans
Bro literally same
Bro i just draw tennis ball cannons

14:40 "why did bell pepper win, but soapstone bunny didnt" she is a philosopher asking questions we desperately need answers for
People have blank canvases as art displays so I'm not at all surprised by this

i hate art contests because of how unpredictable they are. the only predictable thing about it is that the winner is always the one who nobody thought will be a winner. people make weirdest choices.
This is so sweet I also won an art competition last year and I got many many art supplies as an award, my art was shown in our school along with concert/ vernissage. I felt so special😂
bell pepper is like that one sibling who never does anything around the house yet gets the most praise from parents

I honestly started to resent Art class in high school because it seemed to be more "copy this artstyle" than "make art"
it's the part of the practice
EXACTLY! I HATED THAT
@@CARMEN0033 respectfully, what practice is there is we jump from project to project? all with different art styles.
Art class in my school is just, here's a piece of paper now do something I guess"
@@sarad2487 bruh how I wish that was my art class
You literally get marks taken off cuz “oh yea you used too many squiggles”
LIKE HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT-
(As a struggling musician/artist) wasn’t expecting to cry at the end. I needed to hear that. Thank you so much for sharing this experience. Thank you.
The dragon story reminds me of when I doodled Reshiram's head in class and my teacher went "Oh look, a billygoat!" Seems to be a weirdly universal experience.
Honesty I wondered why she didn’t try to label it what it was suppose to be maybe that woulda helped more
4:15 I’ve learned that when complementing a child’s art, never guess the object they have drawn. Don’t say “nice dog” or “oh is that supposed to be me?” Say “I love your use of colors, they work really well together” or “wow you drew your lines really good. You know it’s hard to draw good lines, and you drew very good lines” or “oh hey ___ color is my favorite I love that you used it in your art” etc. because unless you are 110% sure you know what they drew, do not guess it. You may think it’s a dog when it’s meant to be a horse. You may think it’s a character you recognize when it’s actually a character you don’t know about. Compliment the approach they took in making their art, never the subject they have drawn.
Thanks for this. I work hours on my silly animal drawings (foxes, dogs, cats, ect.) only for my parents to go "yeah thats a cool uhhhhhhhhh... don... hors.... DEER!" like not even kidding. As a young artist, I appreciate compliments.. when they actually apply to the artwork I made.😀
I ask, "Can you tell me about what you drew?" Because that's what you ask real artists. And kids deserve the same dignity of explaining their subjects and artistic choices. Sometimes it's just a "I drew a thing!" And sometimes it's, "This character is over here because she's lonely and these characters are playing here." And when my very artistic daughter grows up she will answer that question with comments about composition and color choices or assignment prompts. Maybe even some thematic exploration.
Or just ask what it is too! “That looks really good! What inspired you?” Kind of thing, incase you don’t want it to be overly apparent that you can’t tell what it is
This!
Or, if you know the kid, you can sad something it's obviously not (ex. you can tell it's an animal of some sort. "What a great LaUnDrY BaSkEt")
I'm not very fond of art competitions😭 they scare me😔 I stand with you Elsie
Illysa* (pronounced allysa)
It was a joke
@@SpawnOfTartarus i wasn’t meaning to be rude i js don’t want a new viewer calling her elsie chs of a joke
@@SpawnOfTartarus@smileyclouds I know! I was playing off of the original joke. I've been watching her for a while XD
Lol
I'm glad to see someone else express the feelings of frustration when something you did with very little passion/as a joke gets a ton of love while the piece you want to bond with people over gets barely any engagement.
This video reminded me of a photography class I took in high school, and specifically the toy photography assignment. I borrowed my brother's Spiderman action figure, and for every few photos I spent a while setting Spiderman on different vertical surfaces, and experimenting with multiple perspectives.
My teacher's favorite photo was the one where Spiderman was standing next to a window.
There is no crueler insult to a 4th grader than comparing their art to Barney
IM SOBBINGGG
How could your dad say that to you???
Hey with an account name with the chosen name of Barney that I take offense to that.
ESPECIALLY when Spyro and Barney look NOTHING ALIKE (and no, don’t come at me with the “well, actually, they’re both purple,” no. fucking. SHIT. SHERLOCK”).
Art classes were generally a struggle for me all through elemetary and middle school because the art teachers wanted projects done a VERY SPECIFIC WAY and discouraged us from making our projects OURS. We weren't allowed to add unique flair, our own characters, our favorite colors unless the prompt involved using them. It made going to those classes a chore.
When I got to my senior year of high school and was put in the art class (because they had no more required classes to give me) I expected more of the same.
One of our first projects was to mess with perspective and use a vanishing point to create a street or hall scene. Everyone around me was doing just the buildings or the items in the hall, but I finished early and decided to make a "zombie school" scene by adding the undead and two survivors in the middle of the hall. The art teacher walked up behind me, saw my work and ask if he could see it. I let him, expecting to be scolded for not "following the prompt" but when he took it, he held it up to show the class and said "This is what I want you to do! You should have fun with it!"
That class became the first art class that I EVER enjoyed. He encouraged us to do our own thing, to let our personalities and interests come out in our work, to use the prompts as a framework and to not just follow them to the letter. He only scolded us when he thought we were being lazy about an aspect of our work because he knew we could do better. We collected all of our art and kept every project in a student-specific folder as our portfolios. I was sick the last day of our class and when I came to school for the last day, he made sure to hunt me down to give me my portfolio because "I KNOW you don't want to forget this." Some of my art even got put in the display case for him to keep and show to future students. It was genuinely a great experience.
what is the point of a "art piece" if you are just going to do it in one way, you know the one type of medium where you imagination( and funds "cough cough ") is the limit but you RESTRICT your student because you want it that way?THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT? what is the point?
Yeah, it's giving "red flower with a green stem" energy
I had this same problem in elementary and middle school. If we didn't do it the teachers way she'd literally LOWER OUR FREAKING GRADE
I'm doing gcse art and it is literally the elementary/middle school experience lol.
Not that bad, in my experience.
yea, that's the issue that comes with art class. You have very little creative freedom, which, y'know, is the point of art? Creativity?
😂🤣 I laughed my ass off !! That Bunny was and still is Awesome. But that "Bell Pepper" well ... 🤣... it JINGLED. Hudson loved throwing curve balls at students just to keep them on/off their toes. Always so serious, it's good to have friends to keep one honest or humble and turn that pepper spicy. Remember Hudson was and still is our friend, not just the teacher. 😂 Nothing like a happy (angry) accident.🙃🐇🫑 ...oh, if you hated that "Pepper" so much why is it in pristine condition ...hmmm?
R u mr Hudson or smth?
Edit: btw that wasn’t meant to sound rude
Let’s just say I was in High School with Illy.
@@jphillips9941 oki!!
🤣🤣 illy maybe secretly like it
@@jphillips9941 that’s so cool!
4:53 in Illy’s eyes, that was not a dinosaur sensation 😂
OHHH MY GOD.... ILLY... the "can't you draw anything else?" snide remark brought me right back to middle school so quickly it hurt; I think I still have the vent art I made when I was 11 or 12 with almost that exact quote on it. The plight of the cat artist.
I felt that on a spiritual level.
I remember my middle school bully always went out of his way to criticize my art and would say this exact thing. I even drew various things to prove to him that i could very well draw EVERYTHING, but he was still an ass about it.
I figured he was just jealous, why else was he so hyper focused on something so irrelevant.
Dear Nathan, i hope your pillows are warm on both sides.
@@carelesscamelthe fact that my middle school got a new kid recently named Nathan makes me more cautious of him now lol
Me being a Warrior cat fan : finally someone who understand me and why my school books are full of cats
There is no pain like having crappy art you dont like recieve more praise than the peice you really do like.
That seems to a common trend among many artists, but musicians especially. For example, I heard Beethoven did NOT like Moonlight Sonata and kind of hated the fact it was his most popular piece even at the time.
@@urphakeandgey6308It’s because when we create art that reaches our heart, we’re relatively specific with it
When we create less specific art, we usually don’t see it as our strongest since to us the strongest is the one that reaches our heart the furthest, but bc it’s less specific more people can project their thoughts and feelings Abt it
Take Rät by Penelope Scott for example, the lyrics weren’t exclusive to STEM so more people projected their own thoughts and feelings Abt it, since the writing itself was already so well done
As an artist, I have loved my realistic little fan art projects but what people like most from my art was a watercolor of a barn 💀
bell pepper is like a fun simple fanart piece with tons of insta likes and soap bunny is a detailed original character portrait with shading and background but 4 likes. i’m not salty you are
When I was in first grade, my class made these books for a statewide illustration contest. I felt like I just threw down what I immediately thought of onto the page. I wrote and illustrated a story about a mouse with a chocolate shop who changed her chocolate recipe because her shop was struggling to make money. She ended up making lots of money with her new exciting chocolates. Apparently the judges were excited to see a first grader write about entrepreneurship, because I got third in the state in my division and got to visit the state capitol. It was really cool. Now I’m an artist with a bachelor of fine arts. 😊
Wow talk about development.
@no-ih5luthen don't comment

6:20 , I saw that king plushie in the background, ngl that made my day ❤
i honestly realy needed to hear this rn iv been struggleing with seeing my art not get a lot of veiws and forgetting that art is something you do for yourself not for anyone else in the end doing it only for veiws and or comments demotivates and can realy hold some back so i say ty for makeing this video and reminding me of that
I felt that T-shirt story so much. Last year, my shirt won 1st place at national convention, and my group was very excited. Because of this, my friends and teachers kept their expectations very high, so the pressure was on for me to have a repeat win with this year’s shirt. I worked harder than I ever did before, I was even more proud of my work than last year, and yet it didn’t even place. However, my friends were still proud of the shirt even though I didn’t win this year, and we were still able to get some good sales out of it as well. Just goes to show that art competitions really are a fickle thing.
Why does every art teacher have such a smooth voice? Heck, even when they're cranky as hell they sound absolutely chilled!
That's the magic from CDawgVA.
@@kokoro_suisen Gosh! 😔 I'm so sorry to hear that. But I can totally relate to that, school wasn't even the nicest place to be for me getting picked and bullied and harassed just for looking different (had a accident as a child and my scars drove bullies to their peak perfomance 😅) yeah, kids can be so cruel! And when I can't stand it anymore and snapped, my parents where the one who got to visit the principal's. Hell, even some teachers joined the bullies side and harassed me! 😭I hated my life, myself, the world and every human kind so much these days.
And then there's our former art teacher - a middle-aged woman with an almost Karen-haircut who has the mood swings of one 💀 In one period: "So I think this looks wonderful, you can turn it in next period" Said next period: "Well if you think you can turn it in then go ahead but you know...What's wrong? Sweetie you should know that. You're old enough to know."
And the occasional "In 9th grade they're not gonna be so nice to you anymore like I am now" (after being mean as fuck to one student for the last 2 minutes) Well jokes on her cause our current art teacher we got in 9th grade is actually really nice, way friendlier than her too.
She has earned all of my tears I saw that king plushy in the background and knowing that she loves our house just makes me Love this channel
"A bunch of other teacher's pets like me"
Me: 😮
Also me: I'm also one 😂
Never forget: Matt Groening made the Simpson’s on a napkin at the last minute because he found out fox would own his original comic characters if they made them into a show. So he did a last minute swap. Sometimes it’s the stuff you just “throw away” that hit hardest with an audience. So never stop creating. You never know what will hit.
hardest lesson i’ve learned as an artist is that sometimes your least expected creation will get the most praise bc people simply like things that are messy + real + full of mistakes. perfectly captures the human experience
I think you're applying too artsy of a perspective onto this.
Most often, your lowest effort piece will win because of some quality it has that you didn't even intend or may not have even noticed. The bell pepper probably won because it has kinetic element. It rings. Illy probably didn't even consider that it has an actual function on top of being an aesthetic piece.
Another great example of accidental success like that would be the song "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
They never intended the song to be popular. They literally only wrote it to piss off Neal Young. In fact, the song is largely making fun of Alabama. And yet, it became Skynyrd's most popular song next to Free Bird.
Why?
Because despite the fact that it's actively insulting Alabama (and the South in general), the lyrics accidentally depict a lot of the values and reasons that southern people love about the south. It's a genuinely great song, in spite of the fact that Ronnie Van Zant put almost no effort into writing it. It kinda became the unofficial state anthem.
@@GeneralNickles not to mention the incest memes...
Totally vibe with this: I once made a model of a train station out of Lego (nothing fancy, just like a small brick station, and I got a lot of praise, so I kept making so many different models, I think about 8 in total, so when I did a bigger station, with new blocks, new colours and even an arch canopy,, what I thought was the antithesis of my work, I was told that the original was better.
My soul was crushed right then and there
@@severindupuche2232 oof. felt. I make dragon sculptures from tin foil, masking tape, and fabric, when I made an amazing galaxy dragon based on a painting that I made I didn't care much for, my best friend and my art teacher said the painting was better. my soul just died after that.
The bell pepper story actually reminds me a lot of one of my favorite authors, Harlan Ellison, who was incredibly prolific, writing many short stories and some longer stories, many of which he put a lot of work and intent into, but his most famous work, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, he wrote in one night at a hotel room kind of as a throwaway.

It doesn’t matter if it’s reading, cooking, painting, designing or even running. If an adult tells you to do it. It’s no longer fun. It’s the same reason why many young teens like to defy what adults say. No matter what you do, you’re always a little happy about it because it’s something you did & no one asked you to do it.
My video was submitted to a State art competition. My teacher ended up sending in the WRONG animation file (unfinished temp file), and my piece wasn’t even considered. Not exactly a fan of competition, but I was absolutely heart broken to know I had zero chance now.
Amazing video! Art competitions are so scary. Glad you were able to win with the “Bell Pepper!”😂
Noooo!!! That must been so frustrating.
THE WRONG FILE 😭???
That's soo the teachers fault it sucks to hear that
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel, it really helps me while going through school. So keep it up, I love you!
I know that this isn't one of your serious videos but i just wanted to tell you how much you have helped me
I saw and felt your relatableness. It gave me motivation and made me feel calm i finally did my pile of homework, clean my room, clean up the pile of mugs in my room, do chores, and go outside more you've helped my mental health so much and i thank u 😌
When I was 9 my class had an egg decorating competition. Everyone put effort into theirs, the girl who won only put a dolls skirt onto the egg. I’m still really mad about this.
Tbh an egg with a skirt is pretty funny, but that’s annoying as hell.
Still remember my moment of art glory in primary school (I’m Aussie) when my design for the grade 7 shirt got picked. It’s still used to this day 10 years later and everytime I see a student wearing it I get all proud LOL
Good for you!
Sweet!
Omg that’s my nick name Aussie is my nickname
This might seem weird but did we go to the same school 💀 cause this story and your profile reminds me of someone I used to know
@@lasiyamamamun3446 Omga...
2 Australian Classmates meet again!
I feel your pain.
Back in Elementary school, I always lose the drawing contests to someone else, because my stuff looked like a much older kid or a teacher did the work, not a 6 to 9 year old.😞
10:13 bottom right of the screen... im afraid...
Oh god!!😅
The bell pepper is relatable in the sense that your funny shitpost art will get more attention than the art you put so much effort in and are genuinely proud of 😭
12:28 calmly petting like a Disney villain. It’s amazing.
I really like your videos, and I just wanted to mention how much I enjoy the backgrounds you make, they are really spectacular! =)
Time for chaos !
I loved art up until the 7th grade. I had an art teacher who was so critical of everything I did, and flat out told me to stop trying. So i did. It made my mom so angry, it was such a big part of my life up to that point. I always regretted giving it up and only recently started picking it back up but its hard.
I believe in you!
That art teacher didn't treat you right at all. You deserved so much better, but I'm proud of you for trying to do art again! Not many would have the courage to do that ^^
I hate teachers who make you hate their subject. Their the worst
Oh fuck, that is an awful situation! I‘m glad you‘re trying to get back into art and I wish you the best
I'm just gonna say it, some teachers aren't meant to be teachers
12:40 the voie actor for mr hutson is so perfect it weirdly fit too well , and that part gave me the chills
I love how that “Oooo” at 0:19 sounds like a jazz vocal ensemble.
I've always hated competitions myself (I'm unfortunately extremely competitive and think my work is up there with Da Vinci and Don Bluth) but honestly I finally convinced myself to try and make a piece worthy of entering into my own local county fair, so I'm definitely watching this to help ease my mind
Having the school make you do something you love as a chore just brings all the fun out of it.
Everyone hates being told what to do with what they like!!
Oh big mood, seeing art as a task, with my anxiety I got so anxious I couldn't do anything without rubbing it out or tearing up the page, still trying to get back into it. But it's hard to get the motivation... Especially with the 2 letters that will not be named
Literally 💀
I used to love reading for fun.
Then school forced so much reading upon me that I stopped.
Well it wasn't JUST school. It also included my terrible attention span and finding nothing interesting to read.
im 13 and autistic, these videos really hit home for me, keep up the great work 🙏
I’m autistic too, I feel the same way
15 yr old autistic here, and same!!! god illys videos have always been so insanely relatable lol
Dude ur just like me fr
im also autistic
14 years old autistic [not exactly sure, still figuringinout], same.
I felt this so much, albeit I'm a short-story writer - Some of my most popular works are random ideas I had in college, and they were typed out via a stream-of-consciousness style with little to no editing.
12:35 staring at the tugger drawing--
Art class was always hated by me because of the lack of freedom or expression it seemed you could only draw specific things that i hated and sucked at so i always hated art i just wish it could give us a concept like abstract and then let us go wild
Same here. It was at its worst when I attended college with professors being adamant about teaching the principles, all art needing to have meaning/symbolism, and basing everything on realism or abstract art (which all were graded harshly). Sucks the joy out of creating anything when it’s being judged or criticized constantly
@@hannahwhite7227 "all art has to have meaning or symbolism" is why i don't feel like an artist even though I draw and create a lot. I just want to enjoy myself while drawing some random shit.
i was lucky enough to have a good art class for the second semester of my 7th grade (still not gonna do it again :P)
for our art competition this year, the theme was "when you create art you create life" it seems that my school forgot that they were an islamic school and that creating life is a huge sin
I hope the real Mr. Hudson watches her videos laughing to himself at the memories
I applied for art class the entire time I was in high school and never got in until senior year and it would always upset me because most kids who got in were people who wanted an easy A, rather than someone who actually enjoyed art or wanted a career in art. I don’t have supplies at home to do art traditionally or digitally so school is the only time I get to practice and I feel like I’ve gotten way behind because of that. I’ve heard multiple other art kids complain about not getting in, and when I finally got in and saw how many kids in there weren’t taking it seriously made me furious. It may not be a big deal to others, but to me it is life.
Anyways something more on topic to the video, in elementary school I put my heart and soul into my artwork and none of it ever got put into an art show until one time we had to do art based on like comic stuff where it’s a word and it happens in the picture and I did “splash” with the ocean but the teacher told me it wasn’t rEaliStic enough and said I needed to add something causing the splash and I drew meteors falling into the water and after I had finished outlining it in Sharpie and coloring it in, I decided I hated it and even angry-cried over it (little kid) and the teacher and some other student idek tried to comfort me and tell me it was good but I didn’t even want to draw it that way, I liked the way it was before. The drawing got put into an art show and won an award. 😑
dang that "is that barney" got me ballin
When I was in college one of my professors told us about this "Women in Art" contest the university was having and I was like "well I'm in college to get good at art so I could totally do that." I took the title literally and thought it was about art with women in it, so I made a few pieces and entered. Unfortunately for me it was actually about women in the art community, so I was a straight cisgender male entering a contest to celebrate women artists and looked like a total butthead. Not my proudest moment.
LOLL how did people react??
I don’t blame you for thinking that lol
I think I would actually die in that scenario
How did it look??? I'd be down to see!
Becoming trans is the only way to escape the embarrassment /j (this is a lighthearted joke, do not start fights pls)
14:09 It jingles!!! I love stuff that jingles! I like bells, they're fun, and also puns! Bell Pepper would literally be one of my favourite things if I had it!
I love your story telling !
5:03 I love the drawing of your room and the stuffed animals/figures they are cute
Also I understand how you feel like spending so much time on a masterpiece then something that took like 3 minutes gets more appreciated. That happens to art I make and it sucks.
This really showcases the key element when it comes to displaying your art for the world to judge and see. It's not necessarily about how much work you put into it. It's about the emotion it invokes in someone. People can look at that soapstone bunny and just think "Cute" and that's just about it. But when people look at Bell Pepper, it makes them go "Ohhhhhhhhhh" after they hear it ring, and it can make them genuinely smile or laugh. Or even hate it, but even then, that still elicits a strong emotion for it.
But I just want pretty things lol.
anyone who would choose a f***ng bell pepper over a soapstone bunny deserve to make a soapstone bunny themselves and then drink their own tears they cried while making it
The Bell Pepper spoke to my soul! I did a crumpled paper project that ended up being a painted bird on a cardboard and plaster rock and people LOVED that one, but the stuff I worked on that I liked got no recognition.
It’s such a rough art burn out when that pre-realization sets in…but thank you for continuing to make art and make these videos :)
I feel your pain, @illymation
I used to do only a small handful of art contests growing up. I recall only one of my works ever winning first place-an airbrush themed around the Indy 500 (which got me three tickets to the event in Indianapolis). Whenever I made art I thought was stellar, I often see the reception of it being outweighed by artists who made elementary art that often looked significantly worse than and with less effort to them. I didn’t understand why something that was visually more scuffed and unrefined could gain more praise and attention than what I would make. And it bugged me for years on various accounts. In the end, I realized that art is always subjective for everyone and it hits them differently each time. I had to come to terms that my efforts may not always get the recognition it deserved and that can be okay. As long as I enjoyed creating it, receiving positive reception by friends and strangers was simply a bonus.
This gave me costume competition flash backs literally the same thing for sewers at every Halloween costume contest 😂😂
It’s only been 13 minutes and the video already has 1.3k likes, very impressive illy. Also when I was younger I preferred eating paste over paint.
i'd say your preference for school supply texture is very impressive!
@@illymationthanks
32 minutes, and 3k likes
Guess you gotta start somewhere.
wait what it says your reply was 47 mins ago while the actual comment was 42 mins ago WHAT@@illymation illsiel what is youtube ?
This is such a cute video, I love how perfectly it captures being an art kid throughout the years and the struggle of wanting some form of reward for your work while also trying to understand the reward of the work itself.
This was a nice video. I crafted pre covid, and did well at fairs selling my items. Post covid it all went down hill, and now I'm on a break from craft fairs. So many people wanting things for super cheap despite the time put into it, and just a lot of unwanted thoughts from others. I think if I do any art for the next while it'll be for me.
11:09 I just realized that you made a VeggieTales reference, WOAH!!! that takes me back. Loved that show as a kid
This video really hit home for me, because I often find that the art or writing assignments that I genuinely cared about would get poor results compared to the ones that I half-assed. It ended up messing with my work ethic once I got to grad school, where I had to unlearn my habit of handing in the bare minimum, since the bare minimum wasn’t enough to give me high grades anymore.
I feel you on the bell pepper there's nothing worse than getting rewarded for something you put no effort into when you made something with all your heart and soul
14:35 NISHINOYA CALENDAR SPOTTED I LOVE YOU❤.
I love how you have references my childhood shows like chowder and veggietales😭❤️
Cdawg and illy was a collab I thought I'd never see
Was definitely nice hearing CDawg reprise his role as Illy's High School art teacher
14:52 i have no idea if that was intentional, but the slow zoom out of your room with all the merchandise and plushies of media that you are passionate about during the existential rant about whether or not creating anything is even worth it because you can never control how or even if people appreciate your work is simply brilliant.
Bell pepper is like how for the Christmas door decoration contest my science teacher made and elaborate scene with elves and stuff but then a red dot of a white door called Rudolph in a snowstorm won
The amazingness of able to put together a bell pepper in such a short amount of time and make it look that good is amazing.
Never underestimate speed run jigsaw puzzle to get to what you actually want to do
Fellow former ‘Art Kid’ here, I also won an award for a piece I did on a whim when the piece I actually worked on got rejected. It’s such a wild lesson is subjectivity!
Dude I can relate to all this so much!! I actually remember in middle school, the school decided to let students submit designs for the yearbook that year. I was absolutely stoked, and since I just got my drawing tablet a month prior, I decided that this was gonna be my first big art peice. This was back in 2020, and I decided to do a whole digital drawing of stuff like people having to do school digitally, and wearing masks, etc. and I was so proud of myself for that… the results came in and they chose the popular kid that submitted the crayola crayon drawing 🗿
That sucks 🗿
last year my school did that lol
The fact that you can sell that dad energy that well, with that few dialogue is amazing!

10:23 Did my one else notice the callback with the “Is the vending machine broken again” referring to when Mr Hudson would bring in big bags of snacks for the whole class taken from the broken vending machine
I unironically love your bell pepper. Your art teacher sounds like a hoot!

I like how the bleep sound for the swear words was a bell jingle at 13:52
11:03 I was intruded with those when I was 12 going onto 13 😅
I stopped caring about local art competitions when I was young when it came to this: I won 2nd place after putting my little kid heart and soul out making an underwater scene with some dolphins. And 1st place went to some blatant traced and colored in Disney art. After that I was so pissed and never even bothered since the judges clearly had no freaking clue if they thought traced shit was 1st place material.
one of the things they never tell you about being an artist is that sometimes theres no way to predict what people will like about your art
I'm on the autism spectrum and I have dyspraxia (for me this means I have a lot of coordination and communication issues especially when I was younger). I loved doing drawing when I was younger but was constantly told that my art and drawings were terrible so in protest to this, the few friends I had, and I photocopied a bunch of my drawings and blue tacked them all over the school. Probably wasn't the best idea, but we had fun.
I’m also Autistic and I actually had a special ed teacher who always yelled at me for drawing on my notes. I’ve always liked drawing on my notes and it was never really a problem unless she witnessed it. I remember in 4th grade I drew a smiley face with freckles sticking out its tongue next to my name on my papers as a signature thing but then one day, she told me I couldn’t do that anymore. That devastated me. Then I also remember there was one time in 5th grade when I went to her small group and we got out our planners to record her assignments and I remember I was drawing smiley faces that looked 3D in my planner and she barked “are you payin’ attention or are you drawing?” And then she let the rest of my group go back to class and made me stay behind and lectured me about how if I drew in my planner, my parents would think I did nothing all day. I mean, what she said wasn’t true and it was also very disrespectful. Gosh, I hated that teacher.
4:16 “Is that Barney?”💀
8:49 honestly prompts always ruined creativity in school for me😢 so I’m glad you didn’t notice😊
I feel like I've gotten so obsessed with making art to please others more than myself, trying to make my sketch book look neat and only working on things that and artist "should" improve, this video is great inspiration to start caring less about others opinons since the best art you can make, is the art that you yourself enjoy the most
This! I needed this reminder too
I loved making art in like first grade but always sticking to the rules. So I’d make my art looked identical to the teacher’s. Another time we had to paint ourselves with funky colors but I wanted mine to look realistic even though we were tryna copy another artist’s style 😭 Being an artist with perfectionism is rough.
a badly drawn horse i did in like a minute for a joke is to this day the most liked piece of art ive done ever... life is just like this sometimes
