ART MEME REVIEW - REAL ART TEACHERS REACT to funny art memes

June 10, 2020
Instructor

ALO instructors William and Rio react to the internet's funniest art memes, classical art memes, and memes for artists. But even if you're not an artist or an art student, art memes are a great way to have fun, laugh, and possibly relate a little more to that special artist in your life.

With all the craziness and stress flying around in the time of covid (but let's be real, it wasn't exactly a spa day before this either), we thought it would be nice to blow off some steam and have a few laughs together to remind each other (and ourselves) that despite being isolated, we are still a community. And the art community has always been one of the strongest, most resilient, and most vital.

We had a lot of fun going through these hilarious memes together and sharing our reactions with our youtube fam. If you happen across any art related memes that you think we might enjoy in future episodes of ART MEME REVIEW, please send them our way. There are a few options: 1. Leave us a comment on this video with a link 2. Post to the ALO Discord server (link in our youtube banner) 2. Email us at artsjax@protonmail.com

Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it. We can't wait to make more, stay tuned for Episode Two!
