The weirdest part of this is it isn’t even good art. It’s the sort of art you would expect from 12-year-old junior high students.
So at least he probably hardly sold any of it.
Possible that the teacher can’t pay for shit on their small income. If that’s the reason, this is pretty depressing.
I was going to shit on you because I’m used to Ontario teacher wages where they are compensated adequately (as opposed to say the US). But that apparently doesn’t hold true for Quebec.
How else is she supposed to afford to buy art supplies out of her own paycheck because the school refuses to supply a proper budget?
He. And from what I can tell, Saint-Lazare is a pretty well-off suburb of Montreal, so I’m guessing he’s not paid too badly.
I’m pretty sure every single teacher in the entire world is underpaid, with the possible exception of some that also coach sports or something like that.
In the overall sense, I don’t disagree with you. I just mean that this teacher probably wasn’t impoverished and probably also didn’t have to buy his own art supplies.
My mom was a teacher in an affluent area up until the pandemic. Definitely underpaid, definitely had to purchase supplies with her own money every year, and then was nearly fired for paying more of her own money to discover that there were toxins in her classroom that were making her sick.
Teachers are treated horribly, and their hard work and money is often the only thing making a classroom livable.
Actually, these are fucking great. Super outsidery. I’d buy but want to make sure the kids get the bulk of the profits, not the teacher.

“Good art” is a matter of marketing and who you know in the “art scene” more than it is anything else. There is plenty of shit in museums and fancy galleries that demonstrates less technical proficiency than these works, and plenty of shit in thrift stores and yard sales that demonstrates more.
Okay, well maybe you think these drawings are worth $151, but I sure as hell wouldn’t pay that for them.
