The weirdest part of this is it isn’t even good art. It’s the sort of art you would expect from 12-year-old junior high students.
So at least he probably hardly sold any of it.

“Good art” is a matter of marketing and who you know in the “art scene” more than it is anything else. There is plenty of shit in museums and fancy galleries that demonstrates less technical proficiency than these works, and plenty of shit in thrift stores and yard sales that demonstrates more.
Okay, well maybe you think these drawings are worth $151, but I sure as hell wouldn’t pay that for them.
These are Canadian dollars though, so it’s kinda like paying with Monopoly money (I kid. They’re around 112 USD).

“Non, Timothy, we stopped working with chiaroscuro and are doing pastoral scenes! Go to zee time out!”
Possible that the teacher can’t pay for shit on their small income. If that’s the reason, this is pretty depressing.
I was going to shit on you because I’m used to Ontario teacher wages where they are compensated adequately (as opposed to say the US). But that apparently doesn’t hold true for Quebec.
So talk to the kids, parents and/or the school and do this the right way. Instead of, you know, sketchy online tactics. They’d probably sell better with community support too.
The school won’t do jack squat.
The right way is to suck up to 100s of people on the chain of command. The alternative is to do it yourself. I think the decision is easy on this one (maybe not for you, if you’re into that shit)
The decision of stealing form literal kids and getting fired? I mean… If that’s a clear decision for you…
Dude was almost there.
Make it into a bake sale to fund the school arts program then ask for a raise in salary for heroism.
Actually, these are fucking great. Super outsidery. I’d buy but want to make sure the kids get the bulk of the profits, not the teacher.
