humanities 2

humanities 2
is a potent sedative. and i'm dead serious about this.
it's unexpicably coma-inducing especially if Prof.B happened to be your professor. art doesn't get any more stupider than this.

last meeting we were asked to bring art materials for some "art exercise". i brought some old oil pastels and a 16-color crayola box for that pretending like i know how to use them. and then we were asked, using said "art materials" to draw whatever idea comes to mind. (or at least pretend to draw. not everyone has talent, you know)

no, not a concept but an idea. although the difference is still kind of a blur to me. anyway, Prof. B gave us examples. like, a flower is a concept but romance is an idea. a mountain would be a concept but summit was an idea. get the picture? yeah well, okay, roughly.

so i went ahead and drew whatever came to mind. actually it was more of, what i can draw, than what i wanted to draw. well, i thought the idea could follow afterwards.

then came 30 minutes or so of bashing each other's "art work". haha. well, except of course, for those who showed more potential. anyway, our word for the wise would go something like "tell them its postmodern and you're sure to get off the hook."

my ingenious "work of art" didn't go exactly as planned. it was pretty much a bunch of circles. it was decent enough for me. though any self-respecting kindergarten student could replace it or maybe even do a little enhancement.

yeah, so there goes my short-lived (or did it even live at all?) art career.

me and art? yeah well, how do you phrase it?
fuhgedaboutit!
