sorry if i hurt your confidence. but that's in the eyes of the one getting critiqued. i'm an art major and use to far harsher critiques. You have to channel the stern or most blatant critiques as ways to get better. try working on a hard project for 3 weeks straight, and then the teacher not getting it at all and ripping it apart. It's hard not viewing your art at times as sooo personal you can't handle anything negative said about it. but it's definately something you have to learn fast.
And most of the time, those certain teachers have a select herd of "artists" at their side that they constantly give A's to, no matter how numbingly pretentious that work is, or ridiculously simple, compaired to the hard work, sweat, and heart you put into yours.
I got a C in SCULPTURE class (note, the class was called SCULPTURE, not Pottery) because I didn't make a damn pot, and chose to sculpt a rendition of Rick Baker's werewolf in An American Werewolf In London.
