/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>take drawing class at college
>class is filled with first-timers, as well as Drawing II students because of how small it is
>professor is pretty much standard art teacher, seems very aloof, likes to paint out in the middle of nowhere at midnight, has huge painting of himself as a wizard with a bunch of other shit representing god knows what
>he's pretty okay, even talks about how Jack Kirby was the real talent
>starts the class by saying he'll be grading on how much we try and whether or not we get the basics
>should've been a warning but whatever, syllabus says he's going to cover it in-depth

We come to mid-semester.
>prof just makes us watch videos of random art processes, gives us hand outs, never really does any explaining himself
>advice is so abstract and unrelated to the students weaknesses that it's practically no help at all
>critiques are just small adjustments with little to no actual helpfulness
>i'm getting by pretty well just because i've had some experience before
>new students are struggling
>soon a small group of girls in the class band together to talk about how terrible the prof is
>one of the girls really liked my drawings and told me a bunch of times how unfair the prof was with critiquing my art
>say i don't really care and i'll take what i can get, i was expecting this anyways

I got a B in the end. That class really was just a waste of time.
