Anyone else have encounters with this wandering scourge upon the creative community? The reason I ask is because I was today informed that I know NOTHING about acting because
A: clearly the only person not speaking in a monotone is a n00b to the theatre and deserves ridicule.
B: I replaced the word "good" with "excellent" in a play where you are SUPPOSED to modify the lines to suit your interpretation of the character.
In related news, today I lost all faith in humanity.

Not the same type of art pricks as you, but there are a lot of asshat artists in the furry world that treat anyone who isn't an artist, or even other artists that they have decided are inferior like scum for no real reason.

...yikes. Maybe next time, do an exaggerated Keanu Reeves imitation? That oughta wow woah 'em. Fixed it for you. ;D You're horrible. I mean, duuuuude. Anyway, my best friend draws a webcomic. She has very heavy anime influence, but she sought out criticism (on SA *winces*) on how to better her art and get the basics down pat. Frickin' forumites shot her down for having anime-ish art, then started bitching about how teh animes iz tekking ober teh uber art wurld! Forget the fact that she's seeking HELPFUL CRITICISM BECAUSE SHE'S PAINFULLY AWARE THAT HER ART ISN'T PERFECT. "OH NOES TEH ANIMES *flameflameflame*" |

According to teachers in my past, if it comes from your imagination, it's bad. If you sketch a famous piece, it's good! Also, I'm not going to go into my shitty assistant drama teacher who spoke like the Warden from Superjail on crack when trying to act.
I am not going to mention Sky. I'm better than that-shit.

I've never encountered that sort of thing. My art teachers were very easygoing.

One guy at work is an absolute elitist. His paintings are fairly good IMO, but he's constantly going on about how "mass-media sucks and people need to learn to stop liking the same regurgitated crap-art with no merit whatsoever." He does that with music and TV as well. Basically if he doesn't like it, it's "regurgitated mass-crap-blah blah" and it sucks. Attempting to explain personal opinion to him is like talking to a brick wall.

According to teachers in my past, if it comes from your imagination, it's bad. What?! That's terrible...my art teacher always encouraged the exact opposite, thank God. It's probably the reason why we always outshined the other art teacher's students at the art show. Pretty much every art class was copying a photo, painting, or statue, particularly famous ones. Doodling was violently banned(except by the history teacher and the German teacher) which really sucks, because I'm a multitasker, and it's really hard for me to focus on one thing at a time. |

I've never encountered that sort of thing. My art teachers were very easygoing. So were mine. The best one was my high school art teacher. There were no assignments - we just had to do something art-related. We could even chat while we worked. Too bad I only had that class for a semester. |

I know much about art, but I don't know what I like.

My photography teacher always yells at me for taking pictures of inanimate objects like buildings. I get that her personal preference is portraits, but seriously?
Also, my English teacher likes to go on and on about how much everything I write sucks. Apparently I have no grasp of putting emotion into my essays, and my personal narratives are depressing and tell the teacher nothing about me.

My old creative writing teacher could not grasp the concept of creativity. People(including me) were forced to rewrite pieces because they didn't fit to her specific standards, and others were viciously edited. Every lesson was essentially "read a short story, and then write about encountering something similar in your own life." Turning it on its head or subverting it in any way was not allowed.

Sounds like her problem was with surrealism, not creativity.
