[names-ash.livejournal.com]

::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.

*scrunches up his face, trying to think*

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.

Your Van Gogh did one (http://www.vincent.nl/?/gallery/paintings/jh81.htm). Cabbages and potatoes.

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.
