Road-kill marketing?
Where’s PETA?
PLEASE don’t tell me this “education” was funded with public dollars.
Let her waste money. At least I waste mine on cool things.
I think she wants to sell her “works” at the Road Kill Cafe!
Paint ‘em orange and sell them as fur-lined frisbees.
And people gave me grief when I put ketchup on mine!
Those dead animals are not exhaling carbon dioxide any more — isn’t that good?
She could sell them as toupee’s?
Where’s a good plague invested dead rat when you need one?
It’s plenty weird, but seems quite harmless to me. Think of all the very non-harmless weird stuff that a lot of college kids are busying themselves with these days (aiding and abetting illegal immigrants and Palestinian terrorists come to mind). This young lady is expressing her youthful need for attention and rebellion in a creative way. I think the right response is to chuckle and move on.
I actually had a science teacher in middle school who would scrape this stuff of, get the bones out, boil them, and let the students put them backtogether. That sort of thing would probably get you fired today but was fine back in the day.
This is the typical output from art eductaion these days, a farce and a waste of time - art now has to be political or it’s not “good”. These kids are being taught and brainwashed that the only application art has is to vent childish emotions, draw attention to oneself, and to propogate political agendas.
There is nothing of merit artistically to be found from painting dead animals - which is disrespectful of not only to the community but the animal itself, better she help dispose of the poor creatures instead of using their dead bodies to be an attention wh*re. She could help spread diseases, perhaps identify dead pets and let the family who misses them know, but nooooo, now she’s a cause celebre, and some family’s missing kitty will now be mocked to boost some teenager’s self esteem. Ghastly, and sincerely creepy. Art? No. It serves no real purpose, and it serves only to push a political agenda, it’s propaganda.
Hundreds of years from now students studying art will see a great void from 1960 on where nothing of merit happened in the arts, just a lot of nonsense and hot air and propoganda that in the perspective of history is clumsy and dull witted.
Has she indicated what color she’d like to be painted when she ends up getting hit by a car?
I’m sure there’s a good job somewhere for dressing dead animal majors.
I know, it is disturbing, huh.
So it wasn’t enough to put a beer bottle in the paws of a dead armadillo?
Typical liberal — obsessed with death.
I wish she had dressed the doe before I hit on a December night in 2006. Day-glo colors would have helped.
Don’t tell her, but drunken Aussies beat her to the idea over a decade ago: the one wombat I ever saw ‘in the wild’, was roadkill, dressed in a t-shirt.
Actually the stunt is probably fairly typical college fair, though usually perpetrated by frat boys rather than female artistes.
