QotD: Teacher's Pet

What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?

I haven't been in school for years but I always looked forward to spending time in my Art classes. Strangely enough I didn't really get along with any of the teachers that I had for those classes, especially in college but I always had a knack for free hand drawing and some other artistic endeavors.

I have done a couple paintings but unless it was watercolor, I was horrible at it.

I still look back on those classes with a fondness. Especially my High School independent study classes. The only reason that I didn't get along with my teachers is because my work was always viewed to be my own. I always felt that a teacher was there to teach you the technique but never to try and force you to employ it in the manner that they percieve it to be. After all, art is expression and my art is MY expression.
