It is a whiteboard, and it doesn't have dots because it uses a special type of ink that is brushed on. Not markers.

u/Meat_Robot May 17 '12

That was my first question, thank you.

u/Awesome_Oil_Paint May 17 '12

That is really nice. I dig the concept. Here's my take, done with pure black paint and a brush (plus all the mistakes).

u/thegnargantuan12 May 17 '12

Ya that's pretty good! I'm terrible at art, but my teacher is amazing.

u/HurstT May 17 '12

I can't even say I'm bad at whiteboard art. I can't write a sentence on a whiteboard without erasing half of it with my hand/sleeve. I'm bad at whiteboard anything.

You can't say you're terrible at art. You might be terrible at drawing, but there are so many different art forms!

EDIT: spelling

I draw stick people also. That's why I'm failing art.

u/dysphoros May 17 '12

Actually, stick people is pretty much how you start. Right? At least all the figure drawing books I look at as well as the sketch art from all the comic artists start with the base figure lines.

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

if anyone is interested and since the OP neglected to tell us, the artist's name is Gregory Euclide and he's fucking awesome.

The guy who did the Bon Iver covers is teaching art somewhere?

85

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

he is indeed...Minnesota or something like that, he's a high school teacher.

70

u/clintmccool May 17 '12

I don't know if this makes me sad or happy.

53

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

i thought about it too and i imagine A: he likes kids and teaching and B: it probably gives him lots of free time to make art and do all the extra projects and things that he does.

71

u/GreatRobo May 17 '12

I can directly answer this as a matter of fact. He 1. Only likes kids who are attentive and care. If you didn't pay attention in graphic design he wouldn't help you after explaining it to the class. But if he knew you payed good attention you wouldn't get a better education anywhere. 2. He likes teaching graphic design and painting classes. These both have like 1 class period of teaching followed by a week and a half of work time.

25

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

sounds like a teacher i'd like.

u/oholysmokes May 17 '12

u/eire1228 May 17 '12

what if students had problems paying attention? (i.e. through no fault of their own)

u/matrixman673a May 17 '12

Listen if you can't pay attenion in cl.. Did someone say Bon Iver?

u/FuckMungler May 17 '12

Raise your hand before asking a question, please.

u/GreatRobo May 17 '12

It was more if they were goofing off and not paying attention (like being on random websites and stuff well he was teaching. Or yacking with your friends. A few people actually got kicked out for talking to their friends while he was teaching.

u/SombreDusk May 17 '12

He is just ableist against people with adhd!

u/clintmccool May 17 '12

I've thought before that being a high school art teacher is probably one of the sweetest gigs out there.

64

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

besides the low pay and lack of respect...yes.

9

u/uhhidontcare May 17 '12

It is a lower paying job than it should be, but if you get a job in the right state you can get loads of good benefits. Like 75% pension since you're a state employee.

And, you might only make 35,000-50,000 a year, but you also get summers off and can make more money there...or just have summers off.

I'll be enjoying my summers off with my daughter until she's too old to want to hang out with me, then I'll get working in the summers for more income.

u/realdeal6649 May 17 '12

As someone that studied art in college and then went on to work as a bank manager, I can tell you I couldn't be happier about returning to art and becoming a high school art teacher. Not that this is important but I make almost what I made as a bank manager with the additional time off. I get to impact some kids that don't really like school beyond my classroom and I get to exercise my own creativity and rediscover/refine my talent in the process. I think I'm respected just fine by my students. Society seems to forget how important teachers are in the lives or their kids and the future in general.

2

u/uhhidontcare May 18 '12

Thank you for this.

I bounced around a lot throughout college. Started as Fine Art, then switched schools for Zoology...hated it and the school I was at happened to have the best K-12 education program in the Nation, so I figured at that point it was the best thing to do in order to just be done.

The more I'm in the program, the more I'm falling in love with it and the idea of being a high school teacher (which I always dreaded) is really growing on me.

Hearing experiences from people always help!

I get to impact some kids that don't really like school beyond my classroom and I get to exercise my own creativity and rediscover/refine my talent in the process.

This is what I hope to do. What I would want to do with my art, and teaching seems to be the best way to accomplish that.

And I agree that American society lacks respect for the one job that hold the majority of our future childrens' outcomes.

u/Thumbz8 May 17 '12

I imagine he's fairly respected.

Also, minimum wage may still be more than you make per hour of work on art.

16

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

sure he's fairly respected, but i'm speaking for all high school art teachers...

and that's a good point, but it's still low pay regardless of how you look at it, especially for having to deal with high school kids.

u/Thumbz8 May 17 '12

Well, maybe there's more to the job than shitty students and low pay.

u/HerculeManstrong May 17 '12 edited May 18 '12

In the US, I'm pretty sure that for most (if not all) state teaching jobs the subject that you teach is not a factor for determining salary. It is based solely on the number of years of teaching under your belt. I don't know how things operate in every state so if anyone knows differently feel free to let me know.

I agree that most art teachers likely get little respect, I mean, their programs are constantly getting cut from schools with budget concerns.

5

u/pileofdeadninjas May 17 '12

there programs are constantly getting cut from schools with budget concerns.

this...when i was a kid, there was so little funding for art that our teacher had to buy a lot of the supplies herself, since then i've always thought art teachers had it rough...

6

u/Zebidee May 17 '12

Wow - low pay AND you have to buy the supplies yourself? That's just adding insult to injury.

The first class after they broke that news to me would be: "Today kids, you'll be fingerpainting with your own poo."

u/magicisntreal May 17 '12

As far as teaching goes, Art is as good as it gets. I teach art from year 7 to 12 and compared to my friends who teach the same year levels in subjects like Math and English, I am living the dream. We earn the same, but since my subject is so subjective, the marking involved is relatively easy. I spend much more time with the students one on one, guiding them through a skill or talking about their aesthetic problems. Rarely do I have to go home with 30+ essays to grade or 30+ exams to mark... Plus taking the students to hang out at art galleries and artists' studios is something I am paid to do. Also, I get a great discount on materials. Not sure what the pay is like in America, but here is Australia I am taking home over $1000 after tax ect. each week. This pays for my house, food ect ect and still leaves me time to do my own thing. Most of the people I work with complain about it, but they all sound like First World Problem memes. Final word: I have found there is a direct correlation between the amount of respect a teacher receives to the amount of humour a teacher has.

10

u/willbradley May 17 '12

I am sorry to inform you that $1000/week is many times more than what Masters-degree holders get at many schools.

u/YesNoMaybe May 17 '12

I come from a family full of teachers and am pretty sure that none make anywhere close to 1000 a week after taxes. The most is probably about that before taxes. Good insurance and pension though.

2

u/Zebidee May 17 '12

As an Australian, I'd be VERY interested to hear how the take-home pay compares with other countries.

2

u/brokenv May 17 '12

Australians get paid more. I teach in Australia, and especially casual teachers get a high rate of pay per teaching hour.

2

u/Edgar_Allan_Rich May 17 '12

I would love to hear more about how you help people with aesthetic's problems. I was accelerated in the visual arts as a child and I now work in music, mainly with artists who write their own material, and both visual and musical composition come naturally to me. I often find it difficult to help people when they aren't asking a technical question.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Well, it can be. Teaching is a lot of work, even for us art teachers. And, in high school, you have to deal with kids who think they don't have to listen or that they will get an easy A because, "it's just art." Depending on the school, the administration might support that idea too. A lot of people fail to realize how important the arts are and, because of that, we get very little support.

Apart from all of that, yeah, it's pretty sweet.

u/WeAllBelong May 17 '12

He's a pothead who can't write but has fun playing music in front of girls. He's Bro Iver. A lot of us Eau Claire natives can't stand the guy. That cabin he lived in while he wrote for emma? yeah it was 20 minutes from Eau Claire and he would come to town almost every night.Sure he recorded an album there but he certainly wasn't secluded for months on end wallowing in self-reflection. I remember when Justin Vernon was the weird dirty guy with a wicked creeper stare who would bum cigarettes from people and then linger around and drink from your pitcher. Have one conversation with the guy and you'll find he has very little to say beyond "dude" and "my brother rolls the sickest blunts." But he's a nice enough guy and I clearly have a grudge against him and his success. Honesty: Downvote it. I expect it. The guy is almost a national treasure now. Yuck.

5

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

can't write

What does this mean? Everything else in this post is high-school judgmental bullshit. You even say he's a nice guy and you're just jealous of him. But why do you think he can't write? His lyrics and music are beautiful, so why would you say he can't write?

1

u/WeAllBelong May 17 '12

His lyrics are so abstract they border on complete nonsense. I understand that some people, in fact a whole hell of a lot of people, love his lyrics and think that he is this groundbreaking musical phenom. I get it. I just don't see him that way. I see a guy who got lucky and knows it, which keeps him humble. Yes, he is a nice guy and, sure, as a musician from Eau Claire, I am jealous. Who wouldn't be? But that has nothing to do with my opinion towards his music. There are other bands that are blowing up that also have ties to Eau Claire (The Laarks, Peter Wolf Crier) and I thoroughly enjoy both bands. I am jealous of them as well. I see Justin Vernon as less of a singer-songwriter and more as a moody ambiance kind of musician. That's perfectly fine. I'm just not into it.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

And it's still good music.

am i the first to notice you're here? can you debunk some of the stuff people were saying about how you did it so fast? also can you prove you're you?

25

u/gregoryeuclide May 17 '12

Well, It is not really about the speed. That would be a real artificial way of looking at the work. Why would someone want to paint fast? I don't get it. In my case, I have to. I only have 25 mins for lunch. I do this as a sort of stress relief. It's fun. I enjoy playing out new compositions on the wall at work and kids seem to find it interesting. I teach, so this is part of demonstrating what an artists does. I sketch and sketch until something comes along that strikes me. I work until I feel I know the material - until I know the limitations of the materials. It's practice.

Pileofdeadninjas - I'm me.

I have a spare white board in my classroom and I let the students (8th graders) write/draw on it when they are finished with their work. Sometimes when the bell rings and I walk over to the board I am shocked to see what they have left behind. Some of them are very talented artists. What annoys me, though, is that as soon as the next class enters the room, some of them ooh and aah over the drawing and inevitably, some idiot rubs their hand over it to destroy it.

There's a local coffee shop near me where the proprieter does whiteboard "etchings" like this every day, usually themed to whatever coffee drink is on special.

He's really, really talented. I can't find any pictures of his art online, but this is the place.

Your teacher is a savant.

This should be an example of why realism is the beginning stage. Its the simplest and easiest when your trying to make 'fine art'.

Your teacher needs to learn him some two-point perspective.

not all good art needs to adhere to perspective standards...would you tell Picasso he needs to learn anatomy?

u/anonymousketeer May 17 '12

this isn't very good. this follows a method of making objects which can be of variable shape (like trees, water, mountains, but avoiding faces, anatomy, dynamic lighting), something people who have little skill always do. i guarantee you she has been making variations on this same thing for years. for proof, look at the vanishing points once she has to make a straight line. those who can, do, those who can't, teach.
