So I am in an Art class at my college and we did this...stupid thing yesterday called "Blind Contour Drawing" and I hated EVERY STUPID MINUTE OF IT. I am too much of a sketch artist. I don't really care that is it the basics of Art. It is seriously annoying. I am used to looking at paper. I am not even sure what this is meant to teach. 
          	
          	But something that REALLY pissed me off today was something my professor said about my art work. I have Sketches in a Sketch book that I take with me to the class of Ponies. The book is for the class but like it is sketch book and I am a Sketcher. 
          	
          	My professor took one look at my Sketches and you wanna know what stupid comment she made about it? 
          	
          	 
          	"This is 5th grade." 
          	 
          	
          	EXCUSE ME, YOU SHOW ME A 5TH GRADER THAT DOSEN'T DRAW AND HAS NEVER DRAWN BEFORE THAT CAN DO WHAT I DO. 
          	
          	Like I am sorry but how is my skill that has been grown for 5-6 years "5th grade"? 
          	
          	This just had me so upset but I kept it to myself. Cause like My professor is a nice lady and I am too nice some times. 
          	
          	But really? 5TH GRADE? 
          	
          	What I drew today with "blind contour" was something I would have drawn in 5th grade. Not what I draw now. 
          	
          	It just really angered me. I am self taught and sure I have a lot to learn still and there are things in my artwork I can improve but I have been drawing for 5-6 years and I am sure I learned some of the basics in a different way. I have learned to draw by watching and looking at other people draw and how they draw. I have learned by practice and execution and actully drawing things I see in my head. That should count for something. But Noooooo. My art is 5TH GRADE! 
          	
          	Thanks for the vote of confidence professor and the encouragement of creativity. I'll remember my art style it that of a 5th grader.
          	
          	When someone finds a 5th grader that can draw like me, let me know.

I have never been more happy!! I have been hanging out with this boy I meet and it turns out that I might have been worng or at least the demons in my mind were. Who knows. He has bought me food and a little Gigi plush.
