Quotes and Truisms

| Mac

So I have to concede Art 150 one thing…  It does expose the students to a wide array of artists and artist’s practices.

For instance I didn’t know anything about Jenny Holzer and her work with truisms when I offered up the creative challenge of create a quote.  And the two things are clearly similar… so here’s another one:

“People in places of power are commonly contemptuous.”

I have been remiss with my proposed schedule here at Exploring-Art.com. I was desperately trying to meet my own grade expectations with ART 150, which in hindsight may have been a futile endeavour – Alas! The good news is that the last assignment is due December 1st, so I’ll be able to get back into my regular cadence soon.

Creative Challenge: Create a Quote

Creative Challenge Number 6

We all have quotes we admire… Like Churchill’s: “The strongest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.” Or Oscar Wilde’s “Work is the curse of the drinking class”. But enough of glorifying those who came before us! Let’s invent our own and unleash it upon the world!

Here’s mine:

“Subvert your subconcious: Romanticize that which you have, and rationalize that which you lack. Your grass will grow greener.” – Mac Campbell
