I have a friend in my AP studio class who does nothing but splash paint on wood. He basically makes fun of me for actually trying in my art when all his peices take roughly 3 seconds and he's going to get a 5 on his AP portfolio. I really hope he gets nothing for blowing off 2 semesters of time that everyone in my class is frantically working to pull together 30 pieces. Basically he works 5 minutes a week and stands there mocking everyone for actually trying when they don't have to.
My beef is with everyone who jokes about flicking paint on a canvas and say they could sell it for million because they saw the price tage on one of Jasper John's peices.
Call me jaded. Tell me that it's only a few people who do that. Call me a shit head for not thinking it's awesome when someone puts a video on loop in a gallery. I don't care. I know way too many people who think that modern art is something made up, and are all to ready to vote to cut funding for it in schools so they can save $1.24 on there tax return.
