    At least you learned something, Luann, to pass onto the next generation.

    We all make mistakes, then spend the rest of our lives wishing that we hadn’t.

    Mistakes are a learning tool, at least when they are used. Yes, it can be very hard to see them as such when they happen, but given what winds up learned, the reality is some are better made than not. Besides, we are only human; if we were perfect we’d be ferrets. (Except for two of you you did not expect that sentence, did you?)

    Of course Luann is referencing her recent art teacher guy. HOWEVER – You need to know how to draw before you can go the route to becoming interesting. Hopefully a big surprise or an interesting new character soon.

    What? Teaching them that they can have fun instead of more studies, more controled play time, more teaching through art, or sport, or… Enjoying themselves like kids did before? The shame! The horror! The humanity!

    I am also reminded of the “Dilbert” strip in which the programmers are informed of a new policy where they get a bonus for every bug they find and fix. Even if they’re the ones that put the bug there in the first place. Wally ends the strip by declaring “I’m going to code myself a minivan”.

    NO, Luann Dear.

    No matter how good you get, any mistake in your work will always be salient to your eye. Also: bold, capitalized, underlined and in color.

    Yeah… that’s the problem of teaching art today. It’s like showing up for the first day of French class and the teacher says, “ok, everybody be creative! Start speaking French!”.

    That’s not how you teach art.

    7Very nice! I like that Luann obviously learned some good things from Professor Zebo…. and I like her working with the children. A very nice comic, nicely drawn and entertaining!

    I know a woman who is both an artist and a musician but who works as an art teacher in the public school system. One has to pay the rent and earn a living. Maybe there will be a similar path for Luann.

    How unfortunate for those poor kids that Luann has passed on all the easy parts of the Sayings of Mr. Zebo, without even realizing that mastery of technique is essential to the freedom of artistic creativity….Learn to walk before you run.

    No Tiffany – no fun. This classroom stuff is almost as boring as negotiating for an old warehouse. At least Gunther and Rosa’s escape to Peru created an edgy, unspoken sexual situation that just died on the vine. Then Gunther and Tiffany in her dorm room created another potentially explosive story – and again nothing. Isn’t it about time that Knute and Crystal broke the ice, I don’t think that they’ve even kissed yet. That age is all about hormones, not staples and little kids painting. My question is who will be the first (if ever) to lose their virginity. Toni and Brad don’t count. We know that bridge has been crossed because they’ve turned down the heat, baby sit Shannon, and never have any time alone.

    No, the teacher “point blank” insisted that comics were a “worthless pursuit” and Greg has pointed that out, specifically . We’ve been through this before … or at least it seemed so.. I think. If not, well, “my mistake”….

    “Boy, Mom’s Gonna Be Mad”^I could see every teacher and/or student using that title in art/gym/home ec (wati- what is that?) classes. Sort of the equivalent of the “science class volcano”…. – “♫ Stuck on you ♪”^EMT response: “…and yes, I’m on my waaaaaay…” (♪)

    From the Luann FB page:Greg quotes the progenitor of a certain glasses wearing software engineer, who was known to say:

    “No student’s project is completely worthless, it can always be used as a horrible example.”^LOL, sounds like a typical day at any one of my old schools. From the pictures of a house with the chimney drawn slanted on the roof at my ES, to the Social Studies project with the states of the USA, with Michigan looking more like a mitten than a wrinkly, pruny, outstretched hand, waiting for Canada to snub it’s open gesture (at the back of the classroom), to the cut out pictures of coins and another “gatefold” project on a table in the HS classroom, with the title (typed or written in magic marker): “E Pluribus Uno”…

    Sure. Drawing something while in class could be a “no no”. But that doesn’t mean that any teacher’s dealing with said infraction automatically entitles them to a “critique” of their work. If we were to follow that “narrow” reasoning about what should be allowed in a class setting, then the teacher shouldn’t have commented on that particular thing, as much as the student (Greg) “shouldn’t have been drawing”. – It’s one thing to get a kid to “put away that stuff for later”. The extra opinion of what constitutes art is the thing that Greg was focusing on. Not whether or not it was an infraction (and different teachers each have their own views on what would be an infraction in their particular classroom)….who is to say that Greg didn’t agree that he shouldn’t have?

    You know, now that you posted that pic, as I looked on the site, it ‘rang a bell". I had heard about the “Crooked House” before, but had forgotten all about it!- LOL, It reminds me of what it’s like passing that one mirror everyone hates. Either that, or when you have a very hot day, and everything looks like the way “visible heat” looks, emanating from the asphalt and cement…

    Forgot to add: Of course the teacher has a right to her opinion. But again, to use your line of reasoning, just as it wasn’t “necessary” to draw in her art class (which was Geg’s point), it wasn’t necessary to give her opinion at that time…
