Ash's Art Appreciation, Lecture #1
::Ash sits, his feet propped up on his desk,awaiting his coffee::
Alright, sign the attendance sheet, sit down, and shut up! There will be time for discussion after the presentation.
::dims the lights, and starts up the slide projector::
Alright, we're gonna start with the most basic of concepts, knuckleheads.
::He clicks to the first slide. It merely reads "WHAT IS ART?" in big blue letters::
That's right, what is art? I'm sure you could find a definition in one of them dictionary thingies, but I'm just gonna show you, got it?
::Clicks to the next slide, "The Mona Lisa"::
Art!
::Clicks to the next slide, Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Can"::
Not art!
::Next slide, "The Birth of Venus"::
Art!
::this continues for a good hour, of Ash simply declaring famous paintings Art or Not Art::
Alright, that's the lecture for today. Now, talk amongst your pretty little selves, and don't be afraid to ask any questions.

"Coach? Why isn't Andy Warhol's soup can not considered Art? Are you saying that images of popular culture and consumerism are merely manufactured images of our times and not worthy or appreciation? And is art only painting of women?"
no subject
And then there are things like David (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/valarltd/michelangelo12.jpg) which are naked but most assuredly aren't women. Very representational.

Consumerism? I'm just saying it's a soup can, kid. If I want to look at a soup can, I'll look at a soup can. I don't need anyone to paint it and call it art.
Hey, those melty clock things are art too. And ::flips back to the slide of Dogs playing Poker:: Them too!

[OOC: The Dogs! Bwah! Ash for Art appreciation is just waaay cool. Feel free to smack Marty a bit if he's getting too uppity.]

He was thinking back to the Edward Avedisian (http://americanart.si.edu/images/1978/1978.147.1_1b.jpg) painting. "I be not sure it was art so much as paint swatch," he finally ventured. "T'me it says 'I be likin' pink'."

[OOC: Yep. Weirdest conversation thread today.]
no subject
Bread, fruit, milk pitchers, that kind of thing?
So why wouldn't a soup can qualify as a still-life?
no subject
Ye be havin' a point, I suppose. I guess we should be glad he wasn't hungry fer, I dunno, cabbages or rutabagas or some such. The cans be havin' a nice balance to 'em that I don't think would be carried out with produce.
no subject
And this gal did too (http://www.artbymarcy.com/painting_pages/StillLifeOfCabbage.htm).
Sorry, no rutebagas. Anyone ever say your planetary nets are amazingly easy to navigate for being so primitive?
But no, I don't think stacking cabbages would have the same effect.
