Artistic freedom? No thanks..

I’ve legitimately learned to appreciate artistic freedom.

You only really appreciate something after it’s been taken away from you.  The other day, we had our annual Aurora Schools art show during the musical.  I put out my first spray paint, which is the image of a woman on a stained piece of plywood.  She’s supposed to be nude, but in reality there isn’t anything vulgar about the piece because it’s not detailed at all, and it’s just the profile view of a body.  Kind of like a silhouette.

However.....the “powers that be” as Mr. Berrodin calls them told us that we had to remove it from the show.  I don’t understand why.  There is literally NO detail; it’s a spray paint done in two colors juxtaposed against each other to create a form.  Yes, you see the shape of a breast, but you don’t see any detail of it....so basically the same thing you see any time a girl wears a mildly fitted shirt.  Walking through a high school and looking at the way teenage girls dress is more vulgar than my piece is, and yet they told me I wasn’t allowed to keep it out.

Mad.

It’s a cool piece...and my first spray paint

FURTHER this woman moved all of my art from the display boards in the main section into a hallway that not many people even go down...after I took over an hour to set up the show.  Thanks.  You’re considerate.  She put elementary school art up instead, where mine was.

No one cares about that poop.
