aight so ive been thinkin for a long time about what to make in ceramics. i wanna do a really right wing republican piece that criticizes obama. I dont care about making a political statement, i just wanna piss off the artsy fartsy people who make so much political liberal art.

anybody got any ideas.

right now i'm making a koolaid jug with obamas famous weird color picture on the outside with a fake pile of dogshit in the koolaid deal.

any other ideas

I absolutely refuse to tell you what to do with your art. And if you even remotely care about art, you should refuse to allow yourself to rely on others.

That's pretty obvious, and it's going to show in your work--painfully.  Why are you taking the class anyway?

cuz i like makin stuff, its stress relieving and im alright at it. i just want some weird/funny ideas that i can take off on a tangent. nothing to literal. its just hard to make objects that represent things such as the economy/stimulus-bill/taxes and all that

Why don't you just make a big ski wine rack!?




But seriously.. why don't you get off your computer and maybe get out there, go visit a gallery or something?

ive been looking around. still havent come up with anything good. Everything i come up with is to literal. Like an actual donkey er dollar $'s i cant think of anything that will represent what im trying to get across without being to literal.

Just brainstorm words you associate with those things. Start from there.
