Flaming Toilet
Motoki:
Oh no. He was done. That was it. My sister told me some of the students there wanted to see much they could get away with. Made me wonder what the hell she was doing getting herself into a lot of debt to go there. :P
At this same college a friend of hers once did a project where when she was asked what it meant she said it didn't have a meaning and she just did it to complete the project. The professor and some of the other students I'm told insisted it had to have some sort of meaning. So the next time this girl did a project she made up some total BS about the meaning and they loved it and she got a better grade on it. ::)
I like art as much as the next person, but I really can't stand some of the pretentious BS that goes with it sometimes.

Same here.
Trubble:
Well that's what the A-level art course was like - you have to be able to justify everything, same goes for my Interactive Design - why did you choose this font? Why did you put that image there? Because it looks good isn't a good enough reason on its own, it has to have depth...
ZephyrZodiac:
I'm sure daVinci didn't worry about "depth"!
Hey, do you think by any chance the flaming toilet is some Maxoid cocking a snook at contemporary art?

It gets really ridiculous sometimes, doesn't it? A few years ago a couple of people jumped all over me for drawing things that don't exist, rather than making deep, meaningful abstracts. Huh?
One of my favourite artists, Ursula Vernon, paints lots of very strange things. She wants to have a gallery showing at some point, but she dreads having people come up to her and asking what the meaning behind the paintings are, because it's usually something like, "Hey, what if the Madonna and baby Jesus were chickens? Hehheh..." or, "Small animals in tiny hats are funny!" But the way gallery snobs so often seem to be, she could probably make up something completely random and off the wall and it'd make them happy.
