What this class is really about...

The course description in UNCC’s catalogue for this class could read:

This class will help to teach the students how to B.S. their way through art school. Word manipulation lessons will prove vital in the art world when a) working to counter arguments against controversial pieces with subject matter ranging from religious defecation to homo-erotic sex practices, b) validating crude or immoral artistic philosophies, c) allowing and rationalizing the lacking consideration of another individual’s ideals or beliefs, as well as the teacher’s given assignments. Students will view degrading and obscene images of bitches holding horse cocks, as well as other images they never wanted to see in their lives for the purpose of expanding their understanding of what art really is. Students will also learn to articulate their very own sob-story to tell possible clientele at possible gallery openings.

This is the conservative in me coming out! But I’m awfully cynical at the same time. If this was in the catalogue though…, I would still take this class.

cool! did you know that whole careers are intentionally made on just your points? yeah. where else could someone do all that in just 15 weeks, and get graded on it too? in fact, where else could they possibly get an A for just a wee bit of thought? or for looking at controversial pics that have somehow been validated by "those in the know" (whoever they are and whatever that means)? you will love this, check it out: http://www.malepregnancy.com/
