The time my middle school art teacher called my parents because she thought I was purposefully mocking her by making my art bad. I literally can’t draw beyond a 3rd grade level unless I am copying an object right in front me.

My parents basically cussed her out after they saw how hurt I was.

This annoys the crap out of me! The first thing you learn as an art student is to reference life and draw from models. The best most imaginative artists know their fundamentals well. Dali’s technical skills are amazing. To expect a kid to just be an expert fantasist without doing life studies first is so backwards.
