I know... I don't think anyone else took it as seriously as I did, lawl.
I take my happy place very, very seriously, thanks. That is where my dreams take place and it will be perfect to my tastes. I:
Gah, that would annoy me so much. What's the point in being an artist if you're not allowed to express yourself? What's the point in doing it if you're going to be told something you've created is "not good enough" in someone else's eyes? I think it's brilliant, creative, and perfectly acceptable. She got what she asked for, yet she's not satisfied. Kick her in the puss. She is not worthy of an artist such as yourself. Fuck her.

I came up with an elaborate happy place once. Then when I thought about it, I realized it was pretty much the Playboy Mansion sans Hef and all his 'bunnies'.
There were peacocks! D; And men... In cages. Hm. I'm starting to remember freaky details.
...
So... Yeah. I really love your style of drawing. :'D
Lol, that's cute... in a creepy kind of way. :'D I could never live in a big place. Hence the coop, yanno.
WAS IT LIKE THE STORING FACILITY BACKSTAGE FOR YOUR MANSHOW??
Also: kick her in the puss, will do. I lol'd
YES YES YES. BACKSTAGE AT THE MAN SHOW = HAPPY PLACE! ;D
A chicken coop would be nice. Cozy and full of chickens. I like chickens. C: They're really entertaining.
asjfbdjhbgfd I TOO LOVE KFC. And by KFC I mean Buckethead. >> <<.... -recently introduced to them-
I like your piece, screw your teacher. Just to spite her draw some obnoxiously prismatic crap full of rainbows, big flowers, a fucking unicorn in the middle or something and then off to the side draw a plant eating someone. Or something.
I would have honestly said "Uhm, it's my happy place, therefore, it fits the assignment. If you do not accept it, then that is on you and you still HAVE to accept that I turned it in, and you have to grade it accordingly. And if you fail me for it, I will report you."
AND I would take the picture to the heads of the school, show them and tell them what went down... So they KNOW what is going on.
And a note... MY happy place would have been much darker. A graveyard, at that.
...tbh I'm kind of relieved that it actually wasn't like, scary, lol.
For a couple minutes afterward I started to fear she was right and I was just a crazy kid. ]:
She wouldn't understand anything I explained to her about Buckethead if I spelled it all out... she's nice enough, but she's... angry... idk. I'd have to, like, make a video of her teaching in order to fully explain her. ]x
I find it to be rather happy.
I think it was kinda stupid that the teacher wouldn't accept it when they clearly asked for YOUR happy place, not her's.
What an awesome happy place! If one of my students turned that in I'd be all "OMG Billy that's great! Lets hang that up on the wall! I bet you Buckethead would love this!"
Who is she to tell you what your happy place should like like, hm? XD
yeah, my previous teacher failed my paper on my "happy place" it wasn't really her 'style'
wtf, MY HAPPY PLACE =/= NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU
i hate that type of teachers sry yours is a douche too
Well I must be really lucky to not have teachers like that. Huzzah.
If I had to draw my happy place it'd probably be inside a clock tower with lots of pigeons sitting on me and around me, and I'd have a huge tv and loads of video games and bazillions of video game consoles. And my dog Myfi would be sleeping on my lap.
If this was for art my teacher would be like,"That's lovely Lulu -looks at it for a moment then puts it away-" Or if it's a doodly piece of crap that I didn't work on enough she'd be like,"This looks unfinished, but good so far."
anyway enough about me i'm boring...
If I was you I would have raged at your teacher. Well maybe not raged but I would've said something like,"That's what my happy place would be. I don't care if your happy place is some sunny hill with flowers and pink bunnies who fart out rainbows. I like chicken coops. I like Buckethead."

Hackin' awesome pic. Your leg freaks me out though. o-o
And like everyone and their mother above me, it's your happy place so she should just gtfo.
Awww, it's adorible!(: Wtf, your teacher's stupid as hell. Get her fired. Just because the people aren't smiling, it's not a happy place?? It has cute little hens and baby chicks! C:
Damn.
Can an art teacher tell you that? I mean.. shouldnt they be more open to everything?
If she wanted just a happy picture, she should have changed the assignment to something A HAPPY PLACE not YOUR HAPPY PLACE.
There is a large difference in context. Im sorry hun.
If its an consolation I like your picture. Its neat. I love your art style. :)
thats dumb. if i were in a bright place with flowers, i would get allergic reactions and my eyeballs would probably explode from all the brightness and eye rubbing.
i would tell her that too.
Your happy place is in a chicken coop? o_0
Agh, my art teacher is exactly like that. Teacher: Please sketch your opinion on life. Me draws Teacher: Oh, nononono. That not acceptable. Why? Oh, because you need more color and lines. Art is your own ideas and views, and your teacher doesn't seem to understand that. >.>
