Thought i'd practice bullshitting writing artists' statements...
i chose to show her faceless as an example of the
objectification of women in society.
its a pretty scantily clad ladee. enjoy. sometimes...despite what the standard pretentious art major wants you to think...pictures are drawn for the sake of being drawn...not to impart some life changing message on the viewer...or to create a revolutionary movement in society...but because the artist started drawing, and it just happened.
the thing i hate about being an art major...is that if you present a piece to a class, or professor and tell them that you just drew it for the sake of drawing it, you are judged...and found lacking. i am not a politically minded person by any means. i don't have a hidden message behind the vast majority of things that i create...but in order to succeed in art classes, i was forced to wear a mask of sorts pretending to have multiple levels of intended meanings in my projects. i hate that. i think that being created with the intention of being aesthetically pleasing is just as important as this other crap that people spew.
the thing that really gets me is that if you sit in on a studio class long enough, you will find that the students simply regurgitate the same message over and over. so in their attempt to turn us into free thinking revolutionaries, our professors have succeed only in creating an army of "liberal-minded" automotons. ugh. it really disgusts me.
