So on that basis Blazey, your art has provoked debate therefore it is definitely art.

An art project based on war, famine and domestic violence is very likely to create a debate I would've thought whether that was intentional or not. The intention was to shed light on notions of freedom which we believe have positive aspects only, when in fact they have very negative aspects aswell.

Freedom to vote for leadership > leadership takes us into war
Freedom to choose what you eat/lifestyle choices > eating disorders/abortions
Freedom of the home/sanctuary > domestic violence, child abuse

Everything about the project was meant to be politically based. I'm glad its caused a debate but the debate isnt about the right things. My art was successful with the other students who understand and appreciated the message. People have overlooked the messages so far on here which is a shame.

I picked Banksy first, did the prep work on Banksy and then added Andy Warhol towards the end of the prep work and the exam pieces, hence the repetitions in the green neon-like skulls one which is meant to represent genocide (freedom of power and speech). The only reasonable criticism i've had so far was of the prep work which has andy warhols electric chair in it.

However one of my art teachers pointed out that andy warhol used the image of the chair to create his piece, I merely did the same and made the chair my own.
The chair was meant to represent punishment for acting on false freedoms. I also had a religious aspect in two of them for freedom of speech, for the remembrance that not every country or society has that freedom.

He's actually someone who has attended the premier art institution in this country, so I think he is more than qualified to critique your little efforts.

The fact that your daubings were awarded top marks in your class is neither here nor there. Mediocrity isn't a good bench mark for comparisson.

It doesnt mean it gives someone the right to drag someones work down and say it isnt art.

Someone recognised my work as being like a famous artist, just because that style isn't recognised as art by some people doesn't mean it ISNT.
Someone who cant appreciate everyones form of art is just very restricted in my opinion.

Darling, you are more of a work of art than your little stencilled efforts.

A performance artist up there with Yoko Ono, but without the sense of humour.

Damon Hirst thinks pickled sheep are art but I disagree.

Garinda is just TRYING to get you banned. Just ignore him. Let the troll go find someone else to try and get banned.

As to you Garinda it has been a long, long time since I have met someone that behaves as pathetically as you are doing. We leave one thread and you follow us to another just to try winding us up until we get banned.

Get a life Garinda because if this is how you spend all your time you must have a pretty sad one!!

< Oh yeah, of course, we're only joking aren't we.

Which other forums have you been on?

I'm still waiting to hear about all these forums where I'm supposedly a well known pain in the rear.

You seem to have me mixed up with someone else.

I have never been a member of trailerparktrash.com.

Maybe you've been on some of those mysterious forums where I'm so famous Rindy. If you ever find out where they are do please let me know.

Sorry I meant thread. Mistake corrected. Who said that you were a pain in other forums? I was talking about Garinda following us around.

So WHY does he keep heading straight for any thread that we are posting in and his first post is a personal insult to either Blazey or me? Don't take my word for it, go take a look! While your at it you may want to read my thoughts on it in the "missing thread" thread. Garinda fulfilled lots of Techniques trolls use from his own post of a poster. I fit none! Ask a moderator to check it. In every thread that I have been on where abuse has started I have NEVER been the one to start it so why am I called the troll when in point of FACT, Garinda fits the title FAR more?
