Am I the only one who read that headline and thought "an art teacher told a student to dial down the feminism ? An art teacher ? Bullshit they did"

Nice art but the backstory is utterly fake

You do know that some art teachers are pricks, right?

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

No obviously art teachers are a monolith that are completely predictable in every way, just like women!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

That's impossible. Nuance is obviously DEI bullshit.

It can also be that the art teacher is perfectly fine with feminism but feels it is overpowering other themes. Dialling it down can be a valid criticism. You catch more flies with honey and all that.

The response with this artwork is excellent though. It's a piece specifically about feminism, so no need to dial anything down. It makes a point and is beautiful to look at. I'm not a big fan of art that uses text to make a point but I think here it serves a useful purpose and it wouldn't have the same effect without text.

Your be shocked what art teachers say, especially at the college level.

Did you even look at her art? She has it set to raging feminist. You gotta dial that down.

Just because you land a teaching job doesn’t mean you are self aware

I knew a highschool art teacher who woulds give any female student more then 80% because "women already get everything they want."

Your lack of real world experience is showing.
