Bl**dy students- part 2

[Conian]

how ANY money can be put into 'art' or drama while people are hungry or homeless or ill or uneducated or fighting with crap kit beats the heck out of me.
cut funding.

I hate art students.

Seconded, one of my flatmates is one and she has more mental than I ever believed possible to possess.

Well I for one am delighted to see my tax so hard at work.

Except a civilised society needs art and culture as engineering and engineers sure as hell dont contribute much to that side of things. 99% of the students I knew doing comp sci/software engineering when I was at Uni I regarded as worthless idiot geeks who should be shot. Now I work in the industry and the highest of the high techy stuff and I look around I still think that most of them are quite possibly the dullest people on earth who make Eric and Derek look interesting. Christ even Noel and Zod are interesting compared to many of the people I have worked with over the years.

At least arts students and arty types are interesting.

thing is, art and drama doesnt need to be funded

good art will always happen from passion, not because someone needs to doss around for 3 years or because they want to fill the tate modern with some tat that require interpetated concept to be appreciated

'yes yes to the unappreciative eye it does look as if i've written HA HA I'VE GOT 100K FOR DOING A POO on the walls in my own st, but if you look deeper, it's about the sadness of kittens affected by war....'

rollocks! people will still paint, people will still act and dance and write songs, and if they are fighting for real recognition in a realistically sized market place then only works of true merit and value will shine out while the untalented visualists drift back into the real world.

I'd honestly beg to differ. They "Express themselves" through their "Art" so when it comes to being fun, you're just left with dullness and the weird desire to stab yourself with a worn down curtain rail.

Drama students are just as bad.

Some of the drama lot on our PGCE were telling us how for one their "performance pieces" last year they all dressed up in either clown outfits or mime outfits and went into the nearest Tescos and Sainsburys and started building sculptures out of the produce on the shelf without saying at word and then without tidying up walked out.

That's just vandlism or something isn't it?

As a supermarket manager I would assume my reaction of dragging them into the warehouse to batter them would be seen as part of the artistic process?

Still, I'd rather be in a room full of art students than a room full of accountancy or engineering students.

They redefine the words tedious and dull.

Don't worry about the art atudents. Apparently they are going to have to work for their JSA/benefits under the new proposals by the government.

I think you need to look a bit harder at the things designed & built by engineers.

Or move to Germany, where engineers are right up there with doctors and surgeons.

This way:


Designed by engineers. But is it art?

Looking directly at them, with your eyes open preferably


There are plenty of man made objects- bridges, towers, ships, planes that weren't designed by a bi-polar tt that throws paint at a canvass like a fitting eplileptic with a brush selotaped to their hand.

by and large they mostly look boringly functional

a world influenced entirely by engineers?

no thanks

I think you'll find that 'design' was produced by a creative and then engineered to make the concept work

nice try
