My art exam, the tutors have chosen a brief for us to follow out of the paper. Nice of them.
It'd be helpful if the exam theme wasn't "ViewPoints" and it'd be even nicer if the chosen brief wasnt stupidly runnish and unhelpful, it allows little or no creativity unless your some kind of freak about this type of art..
Everyone piece is going to turn out the fucking same and it's going to look shit!
Its the stupidest exam ever, even the alternative briefs that they've said i can take on if i feel confudent enough to go off on my own are worst!
I mean what the hell am i supposed to do with this:
"Simultaneity of viewpoint was one of the new catorogries or slogans of the Eurpoean movements in painting immediatly prior to the First World War: Cubism, Connsructism, and Futurism. A less likely proponent of simultaneity than Marinette, Tatlin or Picasso, was the German arstist Max Beckmann. In the nine fnished triptychs painted between 1930 and 195, the simultanetiy of viewpoint is echoed in the simultaenity of persona paraded before us: man as king and torturer, tempter and tempted, rapist and saviour, God and deamon. The strong influence of Backmann of Erwin Piscator's 1923 stage design is evident in the use of those simultaneous segments of activity. The architect of the new Pisvcator stage, Walter Gropius, described the stage design as an attempt to "catapult" the spectator from his position of passive onlooker into an imediate sumultaneity of viewpoint with action."
