Basically bunch of moose are staring in horror at some mushroom clouds that are going up over the mountains while another one is riding a bomb in Dr. Strangelove style.
In the center of the piece I have a moose bent over kissing its own ass goodbye. For some reason my art teacher has a problem with this.
So I'm looking for suggestions on what I should put there instead. I haven't actually started painting it yet, so there's plenty of time!
Do something that doesn't suck.

Bonus points if you managed to work Bullwinkle into the picture somehow.
Shit there we go. I knew I was missing something.

Probably because, at this point, you're in a college-level class and you seem to be painting third grade shit.
Why don't you just do a bunch of stick figures in front of a house and a smiley sun?

Ares had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
Is this a fine art course? Cause Illustration instructors would like that idea. Fine art teachers want totally different things.
Well, it was billed as an introduction Elements of Design course which was supposed to focus on things like value and color theory with a side order of practical things.
Instead the proffessor basically hands out projects, spends maybe 10-20 minutes lecturing for every 12 hours of class and works on her own sculpture projects. Which is why I decided to take the immature low road and do something involving moose fleeing in terror/kissing their own asses as one of my last two projects.
In short, it's supposed to be a hybrid lecture/art class that ended up being 95% self-taught Fine Art and graded as if you were already an accomplished artist even if this is the first art class you've ever taken that went beyond using crayons (as in my case).
also draw mushrooms and pot plants all around the background
Colour theory and composition are the most basic, but important aspect of design. It's a shame that she didn't bother to go more in depth with it.

Over the mountain, in between the ups and downs, I ran into Kait who doth quote:
I have yet to meet a fine arts teacher that doesn't absolutely loathe anything anime- or cartoon-related.
That's because anime usually isn't even related to art, let alone fine art. Sorry to damage your inflated opinion of japanese culture.

Verily, Kait doth proclaim:
I have yet to meet a fine arts teacher that doesn't absolutely loathe anything anime- or cartoon-related. Even solid lines are a no-no to most of them, everything has to have a fuzzy, 'natural' border or it's automatically crap.
Obviously you've never met an illustration instructor. Most of what we do is cartoon-related and usually have a combination of line and tone. However, they do frown upon anime.
Illustration is the commercial art that you see in magazines, posters and books.
