Advantages: Anyone can study it
Disadvantages: Part time course
The funniest story of the week has to be of the young asylum seeker cleaner at The Tate gallery who cleaned up more rubbish than he was supposed to. One such item was a supposedly work of art from one of these pretencious “Cool Britiana” modern art dicks that can sell crap to anyone stupid enough trying to be important. The young Nigerian saw the messy ensemble of items around a table and quite rightly bunged them in a black bin bag. The next morning the ar-tist arrived to discover that his prized work was in the bin where we all know it belongs. Mr Masare was non-plussed at the b****g he got when he thought he was doing a good job. But his lack of education was obviously responsible for not spotting that it was indeed a great work of art and not a pile of crap. Fortunately the young Nigerian wasn’t sacked for his keenness and the brilliant artist managed to assemble the masterpiece of rubbish and lifestyle exactly as before. We turn on the news today and we have an old Japanese guy tipping paint of a step ladder will nilly to the canvas below. The crowd sniggered and posed at his amazing skills in one of the other Tate rooms as he iridescent show obliterated the white canvas. My point is that as art is in the eye of the beholder then how can you learn it at college. Clearly textile design and things of that ilk are taught and not natural talent. You’re artistic or your not. But you can study 48 course of art related degrees in New University England with the unwanted statistic that they are the least likely graduates to be employed a year after leaving. %12 are on the dole with a further eighteen- percent regurgitated back into further study and the buzz of uni. Sociology graduates are of course second. Law is the lowest by the way with only five percent out of work twelve months later. Its pretty clear that if you are dim and your parents are middle class then you can expect they wil
l let you study art regardless of your skill. Its important that Sofia and Jemima get of to college like everyone else to keep face and kudos. The royal family has the same problem with Prince William who is not the brightest according his A-Level results available on the internet. The dashing prince has been packed off to the secluded elite St Andrews University to study the notoriously unerudite History of Art, well grannies on most of the paintings so it should help. Theres a story going around that Geoffrey Archer was offered the chance to take a basic literacy (have you read his books) course in prison to pass the time. Or a degree in Medieval studies, equally relevant to the disgraced serial liar and not likely to get him a job either. The introduction of subjects like the extended arts courses has resulted in good students drifting away from classic A-Levels and degrees. Guys are four times more likely to take Physics than girls who opted for more femine pursuits. Biology is closing the gap but women still steer clear of the sciences on the whole. This forces girls to look at other options with the three-year social degree with the university homosexual’s population taking the rest. Arts is a cop out at college and really shouldn’t be so prominent in current university prospectus. Most modern new unis give the students more than ample help to pass the courses so they can secure more funding. I think students who want a three-year piss up should be made to work in a menial job for a year Then would they go into a long course with ten grand and little chance of a high paid job at the end of it. So come on girls and nice boys, with your colored hair and cool swagger and clear glasses, lets see if we can pick a more epidemic subject as we swig from the Evian.don’t forget the Radiohead CDs, yes you are all a naff cliché.Look at three pence a hit I have to be more controversial now OK!. If
you don’t make mistakes, then your not working on hard enough problems, which is the biggest mist

MGirl - 09/08/02 I thought Prince Wills got an A, a B and a C which meant he actually got in to university by right (unlike his father). Interesting angle, good op. |
