It's so shitty that we have fingers pointing at us. accusing us of messing up the art room when we obviously are the ones who have been using it the least number of times. Yesterday during our art lesson, the coordinator of Art came to have a talk with us saying that the place hasn't been kept in a good condition. She assured us that she's not blaming us and that since we "did not have art background" (her exact words), she wouldn't blame us for not knowing stuff too. At first we thought or at least I thought nothing much of it, coz she did say that she would be telling the students from other programs too.
However, our tutor did highlight to her that even when he came into the room, he saw that the tables were not arranged tidily. After the coordinator left, our tutor did assure us about the matter too.
But to my chagrin, we received an email today through our unofficial Art rep. that our tutor wanted to convey a message to us. That is, he has been told that without him around, we're not allowed to go into the printing room to do our artwork at all. And that next week, it will be our last week to use the printing room. WHAT THE HELL?
I feel that it's so obvious that we're seen as the ones making a mess at the artroom. And it seems so hypocritical. Is it because the coordinator thinks we're only going to be there for a year and it doesn't matter if we get offended? We are adults for goodness sake. It's totally disrespectful to just forbid us to make use of that place even for tutorials!!! Or maybe we're PGDE (primary) and that's why a certain someone do not think much of us...
I've been to the artroom twice outside of tutorial time. It's not that I like to do work there but it's just that having to use the equipment and paint there leaves me with no choice. Why don't I like to work there? It's because each time, when it's actually nice, peaceful and conducive, a few Diploma ppl will come in to do work and they will talk more than they work and they talk at the top of their voices. As if it's their home, also total disregard to others who are trying to work quietly. Find them super childish. Why aren't fingers pointing to them instead? They spend more time at the printing room compared to us. So it's it common sense that who are the ones at fault? We are too busy with other core modules to even frequent the printing room as much as we would like to.
It's really unfair lor. Starting to really dislike this place because not only are we overstretched, now when it comes to Art, respect is obviously absent and we're not treated as trustworthy adults. We just started on lino printing yesterday and all of us still have 2 more colours to go. I don't think we will be able to finish by next lesson. Which means that it will remain uncompleted just because we are ACCUSED of something. We were given an extra A4 sized lino mat for whatever print we would like to do ourselves. But now, I can only tell my friend that we might as well just use that as place mats "-_-
I miss those JC days so much. We could just treat the place like our own and there's trust. That was about 7 years ago when we're still considered as teens. Ironically, now as adults, we suddenly have fingers pointing at us.
Those people should just go eat shit.
