Dirty Art Student
Club Art Student
What type of art student are you? Chuch Dillon has been teaching at the Hussian School of Art for 10 years and in his time he has begun to notice a few different categories of art student.

I know 10 years is not a long time, but by this time in my teaching career I think I have had just about every type of student. Earlier this year to relieve my stress I started categorizing and sketching out each student type (Comic artist Daniel Clowes already touched on this categorization in his great comic, Art School Confidential). What I wound up with are these 16 types. Over time, I may discover that there are more types or new names for them (ie: goth is now something called emo). Originally I had excluded the average/good students because average/good is not very funny but with much pleading and begging I added it in.

View all 16 illustrations at his site (click on his to see full-size) and let us know which art student you are! It can sting a little when you realize you probably were a walking cliché pain in the ass in school.
