Please
read
when i was in 8th grade we had to
make a mask representing ourselves in art class. Instead of
making it look pretty and colorful like my other classmates i
decided to make it look like i really felt o the inside. I made
it black and white with bars like a prison cell and behind the
bars i wrote things like ugly, fat, worthless, stupid. When i got
my grade back i FAILED! I
failed becuase my teacher said my mask wasn't
"beautiful".
Please fave if you think this is
wrong.

Well, I do think she should have had you explain the project before she failed you--had you explained it, she would have given you a better grade. But, I do get where the F is coming from. The point in the project was to show others what you like about yourself and give them a representation of you. To use such degrading adjectives, though you may not have meant it that way, may have come off as attention seeking and self centered. Maybe you do not like what you are, but try to turn it around. The best artists, after all, know how to find beauty in everything...

I don't agree with that either, its a horrible thing to do. However, if it was an assignment to represent yourself maybe she meant that you were saying you we're those things even though you are beautiful. I still think it was wrong to fail you though, its whats on the inside that counts. Not how beautiful something is.

That's horrible. If the asignment is about you, then shouldn't you be able to draw all that you think about yourself? Stupid teacher. O.o

Your teacher was probably really freaked out...those are really bad things to say about urself and i know it might be what you think of yourself but it was a school assignment and the assignment wasn't to put yourself down. (:

Yeah, you tried to represent yourself with an black & white mask with horrible words. He failed you by saying it wasn't beautiful and he's calling you beautiful because that's what represents you!! Don't be stupid, you should understand that!

If it was supposed to represent you and you didn't make it beautiful so he failed you, that means he was implying you ARE beautiful. So nope, not wrong. Really sweet. :)

She asked for your opinion about yourself, she can't do that when she asks what you think about yourself.
