While carrying the heavy statue to Monty's car, Squidward accidentally knocks off its head. However, he falls in love with SpongeBob's masterpiece, which Squidward takes credit for. Squidward shows off his own pieces to him, but Monty dislikes them all because they are all based on Squidward himself. Moneybags comes in, saying that he is looking for art to purchase for his new museum. Immediately after, an art collector named Monty P. Squidward feels a bit bad for hurting SpongeBob's feelings, but decides to shut down his class, regardless. SpongeBob, unquestioning of his teacher's judgment, is ashamed of himself and throws himself out of class, falling into a dumpster being hauled away to the city dump, saying that he deserves it. Squidward is amazed, but out of jealousy, he scoffs at SpongeBob's masterpiece and refuses to acknowledge his talent. However, with a single stroke of his mallet, SpongeBob produces Michelangelo's David from a raw block of marble. Squidward then attempts to show off his prowess with the chisel, creating a mere pile of rubble. Squidward rips it apart, but SpongeBob simply forms the scraps into a picture of them continuing their game. Squidward snatches SpongeBob's paper and crumples it up, which SpongeBob then turns into an origami sculpture of himself and Squidward playing leap-frog. He demands SpongeBob show him how he did it, so SpongeBob effortlessly draws a realistic human head, erases the details, and leaves a perfect circle behind. He starts off by demonstrating a poorly-drawn circle on the blackboard and has SpongeBob copy it, but is shocked when SpongeBob produces a perfect circle. Squidward begrudgingly starts to teach SpongeBob what he knows. They depart, leaving behind only one pupil: SpongeBob. He opens the doors and greets a whole crowd of people, who are actually looking for the cooking class. As the episode begins, Squidward is teaching an art class at the Adult Learning Center, and cannot wait to see his new students.
