Art student memes
So, you decided to go to art school. Congratulations. You have signed up for four years of sleep deprivation and explaining to your relatives why you can’t just “draw them a picture.” It is a special kind of misery. You spend thousands of dollars to have a professor tell you that your soul is derivative and your color theory is offensive. Fun.
These art student memes really capture the pretension and the panic. The one about privilege being the secret ingredient? That isn’t a joke; that is just the curriculum. And writing an artist statement is basically just lying on paper until you sound smart. “My work explores the duality of man.” No, it doesn’t. It explores the fact that you forgot to buy paint. Whatever. It’s all just content for the portfolio that nobody is going to look at anyway.
Pursuing a creative degree is a unique experience filled with late nights, harsh critiques, and expensive supplies. We have gathered the funniest and most relatable memes for the students who are suffering for their art.
The “cringe” button meme is the reality of looking at old sketchbooks. It hurts physically. And the procrastination cycle is too real. Most of art school is just thinking about making art, panicking about not making art, and then making art at 4 AM the day it is due. It is a flawless system.
If you are currently crying over a project, take a break and look at more creative humor. We suggest checking out design memes, artist problems, and creative block jokes for more solidarity.
