The Other Mother Art Teacher
My art teacher was a bitch mean and talked down to me for my final year at high school- it made me lose a lot of my love and motivation to do art- I essentially only did work for school and never for myself. She came in around September, so we were already around 6 weeks into term, and told us immediately that as a class we would fail and we had to pull our fingers out and get work done. Our previous teacher had never said anything like this, he was supportive, and although teaching styles are different for everyone, he was so much calmer and more supportive than her.
I did my work and worked hard to spite her- I was adamant I was possible of passing, which she had told me I wasn't capable of. She spent a lot of time shouting and being very negative, like she told me my work didn’t belong to me after I went to speak to her about how one of my pieces had been cut up without consulting me. She wouldn't help me work on my portfolio to get into university (I ended up going to college and learning and developing my skills and self but I’ll explore that later).
I will create a form similar to the Other Mother from Coraline, a scary, screechy human-like form that stole their souls (note to self: read the book)
I think it would be fun to create the nice version- my old art teacher- however as he looked completely different to her and therefore I won't.
I will explore a slightly different approach than just creating the other mother as that teacher, I’ll make it more like her and more my own style. I will create drawings and work out how to create it.
