This video about an art correspondence school is pretty cheesy. It suggests that it’s a perfect opportunity for an invalid. But it was illustr8r’s observation that cracked me up.
See if you can guess what was the funniest part for her.
25 Comments on You Too Can Become An Artist- Especially If You’re An Invalid

I studied architectural drawing at a Big Ten University. Although I have a T-square for other purposes, I never once used a T-square for my hundreds of renderings. That kind of cracked me up.
Is that illustra8r’s chuckle?
It might have something to do with Charles Schultz.
He looks kinda goofy.
But, wait a minute.
Didn’t they have to draw the pirate?
ARRRR !
Well, the T-square could be it. Since all of the drawings they were proud to display were free hand.
There are so many from which to choose, but the plastic flower on the front of that woman’s blouse and the long, white sleeves made me chuckle.
Folding the drawing in half and then putting it in an envelope, unless it was some Rorschach effect she wanted, was pretty sloppy. To prevent that, a simple piece of paper placed over drawing would’ve worked.
Also fixing the drawing with some Krylon spray would give the expert critic at the ‘Art Institute’ a buzz to lighten his shift’s critiquing tedium, especially if enough students, in unique fashion, thought individually alike.
I remember a story about an artist that wanted to attend a prestigious art school but she had to submit two drawings. She submitted one and they turned her down. She called them and demanded they look at both of her submissions. When they said only one had been submitted, she said, “Look at the postage on the envelope.”
Sure enough! The stamps were all hand drawn by her and they were so good, the postal service cancelled the stamps!
She was accepted.
Ding Ding Ding.

Creating your masterpiece and then folding it in half!!!!
Hilarious.
Experienced art instructors? That guy looks like his mom has to sign his paychecks.
I dont bother to fold my masterpieces. I crumble them up.
I thought it might have been the Adam’s apple on the girl she was drawing. Or the T-square.
i thought it might be the “instructor” at his desk talking into the dildo.
The illusion that you can get rich if you draw perfectly to some doof-at-a-desk’s standards is comical.
Doubt thay had Krylon fixative back when the commercial was made, but I agree folding it in half without a cover sheet was a definite blooper. Oh, the first fixative I ever used was hairspray on the renderings. Yes, they are now yellowed. 🙂
The MeTube comments all noted that the narrator said that Charles Schulz created the comic strip character “Peanuts”.
Personally, I love that crazy beagle “Peanuts”. Especially in my favorite Halloween T.V. classic, ” It’s the Great Pumpkin Peanuts!”. Too bad old Chuck couldn’t come up with a better name for his character. Plus, someone should have told Ol’ Charlie, brown shoes don’t go with black pants! What am I saying? The video was in black and white… Good Grief!!!
@Tony – – exactly.
…And afterwards, was immediately arrested for counterfeiting and mail fraud.
🙂
All I could think was “I WANT THOSE CURTAINS”.
Don’t get too excited Tracy. If by winning you expected a free beer on Thruesday, be advised that Thruesday never comes.
Just a FYI, Charles Schulz hated the name “Peanuts.” The syndicate named it; he had no control over it.
He also worked as an instructor at the art academy before hitting it big with…Peanuts.
HA!
That was my trick. Aquanet!
@Zonga – YES!!! I couldn’t take my eyes off those curtains. And you know that if they were seen in color they would be turquoise and orange, right? LOL

Absolutely gorgeous!
and boomerang Formica counters too!
I know, right???
Was this the school that advertised on matchpacks?
The instructor is all, “She did well, except for this deep fold in the middle of the face…” lolol
She couldn’t have made herself a bigger envelope out of some scrap paper?
