You’re going to apply to S.V.A. or Pratt of University Of The Arts or SCAD or Tyler or anywhere else, and have small black dots of tape COVERING the nipples because they might offend?

Well, unless you make that the point of the piece. You could turn in a portfolio of canvases that have all been painted solid black, and you say, “They didn’t like my subjects so I started turning in my material pre-censored.”

Oh! The plot thickens!

Yeah, there was one kid in my art class in tenth grade who liked drawing and painting scantily clad ladies. The art teachers didn’t say boo to a goose-but one of the English teachers (we shared the room with her) was a bit disturbed by a portrait he did of Aphrodite.

A naked, grey skinned alien looking thing with these MASSIVE breasts and big honking bright red nipples. It was just freaking bizarre. My art teacher just laughed.

I like nipples. A+ for nipples!

/not an art teacher.

TRIPY! Well my fellow dopers, I owe you all an apology. It appears there is indeed another side to this story. What my nephew neglected to tell me was that this
picture bared an amazing resemblance to the art teacher. The art teacher called my sister (his mother) and told her what the deal was and that she didn’t think it
appropriate for a student to draw his or her teacher in that way. [shrugs what ever] She also said initially she was upset and that is why she gave him the “F” but after
she cooled down she changed the grade to a “C” and she also gave him the option to redo the assignment or keep it as a “C”.

I hate being whooshed by teenagers!:smack:

Ugh! That definitely changes things. Hope his Mom had a talk with him about telling the truth.

Completely absurd to get an F because of subject matter. Did the teacher graduate from the Nazi school of art or something? I can’t imagine an education in the arts and NOT dealing with nudity at some point.

In 7th, I did a sculpture of a completely naked lady & it was a hit & I got an A. I still have it.

In our school, the art teacher wouldn’t really hava a problem with that, she just wouldn’t let you display it at school.

Reminds me of an incident in a high school government class. The teachers assignment was to create a political poster with any view, nothing was off limits, and it would be hung in the class. The teacher was a rabid liberal and environmentalist, so one young woman decided to tweak him a bit and drew a giant beaver in a tree. The caption:

“Save a logger, eat a beaver.”

He displayed it long enough to see if the english teacher down the hall could pick out the one that was most questionable. Apparently it took her about 2 seconds.

I have no idea if the student knew what she’d written, but she still got a good grade.

SHAKES, I hate to be a whiner, but didya know that when you press enter after each “line” (as it appears on your screen) it ends up looking all wonky and hard-to-read for other folks?

If you only use line breaks for paragraphs, like most folks do, then you know your posts will look “normal” to everyone.

Most art teachers have enough of a studio life0drawing background for this not to be an issue. Sounds like this teacher was trained to be a grammar teacher or something and drew the short straw at Tom Landry HS. Any idea what the teachr’s background is?
