My digital “illustration” teacher is a fucking moron. He said that I need to steer clear of fine arts and focus more on “images that tell a story.” He teaches how to make fucking clip art in Adobe Illustrator.
Like…excuse me? Have you never seen a renaissance painting? They’re almost nothing but STORIES. What the fuck story can you tell with your fucking CLIP ART that a renaissance painting can’t?
He also told for the first assignment, which was just to make a vector image of an apple, to try to stay away from “fancy effects” like blurs because “those are extra tools that won’t give you a solid foundation in working with vector images.”
The best part? He opened the lecture with “you can still be a great illustration artist if you can’t draw. I can’t draw at all!”
Fuck you, dude. Fuck you for undermining everything that I work for as an artist.

In writing programs, many professors have a strong distaste for genre fiction, and many will not only refuse to accept genre fiction, but will try to beat the love of it out of their students. In my study of writing, I've gotten some advice which I'd say applies here as well. The first bit was to just accept that there might be something to learn from the experience, and hold onto what you love. Bear the class, but don't let the professor take away what you like. The other one, well, I think I'd like to quote Brandon Sanderson directly. Regarding professors who wouldn't accept fantasy, he said "Well you'll just have to fail me then, because that's what I'm giving you."
Anyone wanna place bets on which option gote picks?
(Pls don't actually fail the class)

What's really funny is that my actual ILLUSTRATION professor said to me, and I quote, "You can either swallow the bitter bile...or...just kinda poke the beast a little...". I told him I'd do what I do best and poke the beast, and he gave me a fist bump and said he's right there with me.
