Forced To Do It.

If I'm not breaking a law or a rule, leave me a lone. <br><br>The fact that I made a painting for Your contest and someone pointed something out that made me not want to enter it, doesn't give you the right to force me to enter. Threatening my grades and to "call my parents" like I'm in kindergarden is ridiculous. I made a mistake on the piece. Yes the painting quality is nice and the painting overall is decent but the anatomy is wrong. It would be embrassing to enter it in a contest. Especially the contest that is being held by my boss at work. I have OCD when it comes to my art and if something doesn't work or isn't right, I will redo it. But since the entries are due today then there's no time to fix it.<br><br>I don't want to enter it. You need more entries for your contest, have a different student make one, or you pull one out of the sky. I'm mortified that I have to enter this thing. Wait to break down you students...<br><br>Ugh!</span></span>

  • Anatomy doesn't always have to be perfect, though I understand you wanting the art to be "perfect" to you. You could always tell people it's your impression of whatever being it is. Art is relative, don't ever be embarrassed of something you have created. Too often things are never good enough to our own eye, or there's always something, no matter how small, that we would love to change. It doesn't make the piece any less worthwhile. I'm kinda of the opinion that you shouldn't not enter based only on a worry that other people may not like it.<br><br>That being said, if you feel really strongly about not wanting to enter the piece, don't let someone bully you into it.

  • <span style="font-size:85"><span style="color:#0000FF">The piece was a 2D painting with a plaster hand in a 3D form glued onto it like the hand was reaching out. The problem was the left hand I glued on the right side... <br>It was really embarrassing. If it was a simple painting matter, I probably wouldn't mind as much. Its just the fact that I was so blind I glued the 3D hand on the wrong side.<br>The thumb and everything was all wrong. And it stood out hard core since it was glued to a 2D painting.<br><br>Also, the fact that she was forcing me for her own gain really upset me. She wasn't encouraging me to enter cause she thought the problem didn't matter, it was she wouldn't have gained any money if I didn't enter.... So she threatened me. I eventually gave in. I wish I hadn't.<br><br><br>Thanks Ori. I understand that it shouldn't matter what others think. Only what I think. <br>Thats why it bothered me so much. The piece bothered me.</span></span>
