OP- is this a mixed age class or are most people in the class in their late teens/early 20s? I can see that being an issue too. I agree with the other poster that many people don’t want a ride from a person they don’t know. That is not really that unusual.
I'm an introvert so it doesn't bother me to not become friends with classmates and co-workers. I look at it this way: I'm only there to get my education/earn a living. I treat people politely, and that's it. I've never encouraged friendships - if they happen, they happen. If they don't, that's fine too.
OP, just go to class and do what's required of you to earn your degree.
Who cares it’s a class and he is a teacher you take the class and then move on. It’s a bit more concerning why the other students treated you that way. Are you a bit counter culture? Any odd grooming habits or lack there of? Anything else unusual about the campus or art class?

Who expects to become friends with classmates? That sounds like an expectation an emotionally needy person would have. Usually, IME, friends are made in the dorms, and in clubs and other student activities. I don't think the OP was saying she wanted to be friends with her classmates. She was saying that for reasons beyond her understanding, they seem hostile to her.
I'm having a dilemma. My art teacher is rude. I can't think of what I did to him for him to not like me. I was always the teacher's pet. I do everything I'm suppose to. I am very friendly towards my teacher and classmates.
I emailed my teacher about the art essay because he wasn't clear on what he wanted on the paper. Since he doesn't reply to MY emails, I saw him during office hours and he had a real attitude with me. Ever since then it was negative. The students treat me horribly. I asked three of the students if they wanted a ride home because our teacher randomly let us out an hour and a half early. The three students were scrambling for rides and the one girl said she took the bus, so I offered to take them home and didn't care the distance. They looked at me weird and didn't even saying "No, I'm good." Or even respond back to me. They treated me like I was a parasite. They just went out in the hallway.
I felt bad for the fact that they were scrambling for rides and a bus schedule. I have a perfectly full size car that can fit three other people, so why not ask them if they want a ride home right? They just made me feel like a creep for even asking them. It's a very negative class. My teacher walks away from me as I'm talking. He says "Hi" to everyone that enters the classroom except for me. I am so confused because I was always friendly to him. A requirement is to go to a museum and send proof of yourself being there. So, I sent him this video of this beautiful artwork and I sent him a pic of myself with a piece of artwork. That is what's required.
He never replies to my emails and he didn't reply. So, I asked him in person when class came if he received the pic and vid, and I expressed how much I loved the psychedelic art. He gave me a quick curt response "Yeah I received it. Nothing to talk about." I thought that was so rude! Because I was so excited about that piece of art and he was just rude about it.
I might have to take other classes of his but I literally was suffocating in his class with his energy and the 7 other students energy. I don't know if I should approach him and ask what his problem is? What would you do in a situation where you can't think of anything you did wrong, you are polite, and the teacher plays favorites and shows his hatred for you? I honestly never want to deal with him again but his classes fit so well with my schedule come spring. I would not even address him if it wasn't for the fact that I might have to take more of his classes for the spring semester. I have very limited options with the specific classes I need to take and the schedule. Of course my teacher's classes fits well with my upcoming spring semester. What would you do?
From what it sounds like, you may be putting too much stock into what some other people think about you. I do agree that this is some cold treatment you are receiving, but since it is not just the teacher, but some peers as well, it could be that they don't know how to take you. Also, from what I've seen, art does tend to attract some "different characters".
As to the "ride" incident, maybe the other students weren't used to someone outside of family offering a ride.
All I can say is that you're probably coming off a certain way. What I would suggest is go to class and just be "invisible", don't talk to anyone, just focus on your task. People are also going to have different opinions, thoughts and interpretations of art so don't take it too personally that your instructor didn't share the same enthusiasm you had about your work.
Maybe that's your problem op; he doesn't buy into your teachers pet bull sh* *
