Quotes from my oil painting prof this semester

Because he's a funny guy (though tw for strange amount of mentions of killing yourself, none serious but idk why he said it so much lol?)

"For plants I love a sap green! Ahhh! …do I sound like I’m… like I'm into my paints?"

“That’s such a lovely ✨flesh✨”

“Cadmium yellows- aughhh that’ll be there for the rest of time”

“Chroma: the ZOWIE factor!"

Prof: You guys probably don’t even know what Xerox means, do you know these words? Me: Kinda sounds like a medication or something Prof: Pshh right, 50 mg of Xerox to go to sleep. Quinacridone - ugh that’s what you take to kill yourself!

(talking about how a security guard yelled at him for trying to take a picture of the Sistine chapel) "The day I went, must have had the guy from Hell… in the Vatican"

"Then it's just too tutty fruity- do you guys know that term?"

"You have to be a little guttural, Ébau*gags*che! That's how you speak French."

Prof: *comes into class, dramatically sits down with his head on the table* I wanna kill myself Me: *makes a concerned face* Prof: (to me) Not as much as you want to kill yourself

"Once I get tenure I'd have to like kill one of you to be fired"

"I gotta shoot you guys, one of these days… Don't worry it will be quick" (he meant like taking photos lol)

"I have friends that are like 'come plein air paint with me' and just *horrified* why would you want to do that?!"

(while taking photo of me for a portrait) "Oh yes, there's that Mona Lisa, what is going on behind that enigmatic smirk?"

“Come get my asphaltum - that sounds strange… ”

"I can do these paintings in my sleep, but I've been painting for 40 years... is it 50 now? eughhh"

Classmate: (talking about how to get a good grade) you go to his house, you make a sacrifice to his ancient pagan god Prof: it's gotta be chocolate, dark chocolate

"Now I hate to tell you this but you've got phthalo blue all over your face"

My Art Professor: I LOVE the scent of oil paint. If there was a dude who made oil paint perfume I would give him my life’s income. I would buy it for my wife for Christmas, her birthday and Mother’s Day. I’d ROLL in it. I love the smell. Can one of you drop out and become a chemist and make it? I’d pay for your tuition-

The exhausted TA: remember oil paint is toxic and you should not inhale it, or this will happen. Or you’d die. You’d rather die.

My professor, undeterred: -I wonder if someone has tried? Do we have a chemistry program at the university??

Sometimes when I'm signing my artwork I remember my professor telling us that artists shouldn't incorporate their signatures into their artwork because signatures aren't art. And then I scale up my signature and incorporate it into my art even more obnoxiously

#i gotta play catch up with this blog before i post my newer art but believe me when you see it you'll know. you'll know #art #art professors #rant #signatures #the dead speak!#and ftr it was artists as a WHOLE. she wasnt just talking about how to sign in-class assignments. girlie had DISDAIN in her face #she specifically mentioned "artists you see online” who write their sig following along parallel to some line or curve in their drawing #she's a cool professor overall but THIS TAKE. IS SO COMICALLY BAD. i will fight her on it till the day i die #like sure it can look cleaner to sign in the corner or off to the side but to tell a class of mostly NEW ARTISTS that that's the #only correct way to do it. & that doing it like those...pfft...“”online artists”“ is some horrible art sin makes me so mad lol #Make your art the WAY YOU WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MAKE IT YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SIGNATURES CAN BE ART IF YOU DECIDE IT!!!!!!!!!

Contending with misogynist imagery in ancient art raises a multitude of questions that demand addressing today.

Interesting- I’m not really certain as to how teaching art history should change for the better in the aspect of how women are portrayed. The article mostly discusses the issue, with out really proposing a solution. I say art history and not just ancient art because examples like those found within the article pervade all of art history- especially those works within the canon. Depictions of the female form are some of the most avidly portrayed subjects in art, even in pre-history. But with many of these works portraying crimes against women, using the form as a symbol to be objectified, or just victimization one really has to look past and understand the context and cultural significance of that work. Do these ancient or anticipated works depict and promote rape culture in todays society? In my honest opinion I think not, but it’s mostly a matter of perception in these cases of true antiquity. I tend to view many of these kinds of works as portraying tragic narratives (or a specific mythos) and as being relics that emphasize the cultural traditions of different societies. We can tell a lot about the social structure of the society based upon how they portray their figures. We can infer about their thoughts on women from works like this- and use them to power our current dilemma. We have examples of these “me too” moments from thousands of years ago and they can help us now. They can be tools for feminism- visual proof of women being ranked so low within the society that they are portrayed as the constant victim to man/or beast, or even as the other female archetypes (mother, maiden, crone, seductress etc). I guess we just need to continue the conversation and I firmly believe that our Historians and instructors should be leading the conversation for their students- there is a common theme within art history courses of not really getting that “deep” when talking about works of art. There tends to be a focus on memorization rather than comprehension. You discuss predominantly objective information about the work itself, but what we need to do in addition is really discuss in depth the context and the society in which it was made. Maybe we even need historical survey classes where that’s all you do? Would enjoy polite discourse.

I was sitting in class at art school the other day, and my professor out of the blue decides to have a frank discussion of "how the art world

I wouldn't put too much stock into art professors' opinions. The DEAN of my art college told our class that artists who aren't willing to exchange sex for gallery space are just being arrogant. -____-; Dude! You're a freaking priest! In a Catholic university! Don't tell me to whore myself out! >X<!!! And that's when I knew for sure, that I had had ENOUGH of the elitist art gallery world. There are plenty of ways to be an artist outside of art galleries.
