黄果短剧

I鈥檓 a current junior who鈥檚 taking a studio one 3D art class to fulfill my fine arts credits for graduation. However, there is one huge issue; my teacher sucks.

This is what happened:

We were assigned a project where we had to create a sculpture out of paper cups and plates (lame, I know). We couldn't use any tape/glue and we had to cut slits into the materials in order to make them stick together. The sculpture also had to be at least a 12 inches tall. When we were done, we were supposed to store them on the shelf horizontally - which didn鈥檛 make sense to me because it would fall apart if it was placed horizontally since it鈥檚 literally made out of paper. Maybe I should have spoke up about it, but I thought the teacher would at least handle the sculptures with care so I didn't worry about it too much.

I began to encounter some issues when I got my grade back; a big fat C. I spoke to some of my other classmates, and they all received similar or worse grades. I was really upset by this as I had spent a lot of time and effort on the project. As I suspected would happen, literally ALL of the sculptures fell apart. Mind you, they were all fine before they were graded. I really wish I could attach an image because when our projects were returned to us, they quite literally looked like a huge pile of garbage. I spoke to some of my classmates who had the same teacher first semester, and they said that she was an 鈥渆xtremely harsh grader and only grades based on talent.鈥� They agreed with me that the situation was unfair.

The incredibly complex rubric was the first thing that really raised red flags about this class. I thought this was weird as this is literally the lowest level art class. If this had been AP art or studio three, I would understand, but I thought a rubric this lengthy and detailed was a bit excessive for a studio one class. Again, I wish I could attach an image of it so you could see how ridiculous it was. When I asked my friend, who is currently in AP art, if she had ever gotten a rubric as detailed as this one in when she was in studio one (but for 2D art), she said that she had not.

I want to know if I should drop this class. I'm extremely worried that my GPA will suffer as a result of this class. I sincerely don't want a meager beginner聽art class to destroy my 4.0. I was planning on moving to 2D art or switching to a different 3D art teacher.聽We're only a week into the semester, so I want to make a decision聽quick before it's too late. Any thoughts?
