Some art teachers need to learn that things can be art even if the anatomy is incorrect. Or the shading is wrong. Or it's not drawn within the lines. Because those are the first steps everyone learns. This is critical for those who think outside the box and do not do this. It'll bring those people down while they could be the artists of the world.

This is how I think of art; It's about the message you want to give with the piece, or the message you put in it yourself. Something you want to say, or to keep secret. Every piece I make has a little story, even my sig arts. But teachers do not look at that, they look at the result and process in the art. I can understand that. But I wished some teachers were more positive and helpful than others. It took me over 19 years to meet someone that was actually criticizing my pieces yet motivating me to continue and become better.
Every other teacher - or person - I met before only looked at the final result and what they liked about it. (The people I met online not included, they really helped me!)
I do not like Picasso. But I understand it, and I know the story behind it. This made me love the artist, not his art. If he would ever ask me for critique about his pieces, I would not say I don't like it. I would say which parts I don't like and why. I would also say what I do like. But I usually ask what do you want to say with it?
