15 Things You Hear During Art Class Critiques

Art class critiques: where the best compliment is saying you’d put a design on a t-shirt.

15 Things You Hear During Art Class Critiques
Lilah Smith

The following is a list of the absurd comments and questions that I compiled during my semester of Design I class. The best part of these statements is that they all made complete sense during the critiques while looking at different students’ art pieces. With an amazing professor and a class of 17 students, all having very different personalities, this compilation is very interesting to read.

1. “It has a bloopy thing going on with it. The kind of thing a mushroom cloud, a hamburger, an alien, and a carousel all have.”

2. "All I see are elf shoes.”

3. "Can I see your ‘hotdog’ one?”

4. "I like the fruit loop on Scooby Doo’s head.”

5. "I think it’s hilarious that it says ‘elbows.’”

6. "The mustache guy just looks so happy to be there.”

7. "It looks like a Swiss Roll…. A geometric Swiss Roll!!”

8. After being asked by the professor to repeat what the student had said less than 30 seconds prior: “I don’t even remember what I saying…. I was just talking.”

9. "That look a little too much like a loaf of bread.”

10. "The man looks so overly excited to be surrounded by macaroni.”

11. "Is that a metaphor for being pregnant?”

12. "There’s a lot of texture there, which will cause a problem. It’ll be like you’re trying to tape over a tiny mountain range.”

13. "It reminds me of the thing aliens use to suck objects off of Earth into their UFO.”

14. "Can someone please turn off the sun?”

15. "It looks like a piece that an old lady would pay a lot of money for."

Here's to the best Design I class and experience I could've asked for. And here's to you, Professor Neil. We loved you, even though we were probably the worst class you've ever had. Thank you for not killing us, or worse... failing us. #ProcrastinationNation

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
