Hansma technically missed the deadline, but everyone involved seems to still want to see a vote.

The subject was Anti-Art Propaganda.

Let the voting begin.

The term 'anti-art propaganda' could be interpreted that way, I guess. If you were really stretching it.

there is some crazy bias going on

there is no way anyone with real eyes or concept of art is voting for Dr.V


like his entry looks like something i would see in a 4th grade art class
the colors are horrible, the message is awkward and like idk

it really is just ...


symbolism and color and mixed media wins for me here
yay hansma, but boo on being late :/

I'm sure all that Shoujo has really developed your keen artistic eye, ne?


I like Doc's because it doesn;t look like it's desperately struggling to find deep meaning.
It's blunt, in a big brother-esque sort of way, the way propoganda should be, IMO.

Propoganda isn' t 'subtle and meaningful' like...what is that, a cutout man in a suit whitewashing a wall of art?
Oooh. Deep.
Like something on the cover of a political-emo CD.

I'll say. You can't see past how you feel about the entrants and look at the art.

I mean ... I think that what I said about hansma's art applies here - she paints well but her subject choices just don't seem to work. I will freely admit that her image is quite nice, I actually like it. It's definitely my favorite thing that I've seen her do.

As far as this particular application goes - I don't think anyone really sees it as being appropriate for the situation. It looks more like anti-men-in-suits propaganda, if even propaganda at all.

But then I don't expect to ever agree with you on ... well anything, so it neither surprises nor bothers me that you hate my image. I'd be worried if you liked it.

I'm kind of
agreeing
with the masses here
with just that I think that hansma didn't really "get" the challenge in the same way as dr. v
Like dr. vs is straight up propaganda. that ******** art s**t is going down!
and hansmas is sort of an illustration of anti art to encorage pro art or something?
or maybe instead of it being against art she interpreted it as being pro art and like anti censorship or something

idk twisting words gets you into sticky situations

regardless I dont think hansmas is propaganda really
just a sort of subtle suggestion and i like subtlety but it wasnt the challenge


im very torn ):

i dont feel anyway about either of you really
im just here to give an opinion.

my opinion (the only one that matters to me)


when i looked at hansmas art i gave it a good long look and considered lots of things about art.

and with yours i glanced over it like a boring caution label
on a bleach container or like something i would see
inbetween chapter updates on an afterschool special from the early 90s.


all im saying is, i get hansmas picture more
and that should be made obvious just by looking at my own art<-

im a fan of symbolism
instead of blatant and tacky messages like you chose to display in yours

hers is just overall more pleasing to look at
and imo, really is more art like

yours is propegandaish i get it
but i dont like it, the colors are ugly and im not feeling the message

sorry :{

what it comes down to is i know what i like
i dont really care about much else
