Scrap Book 18

This is the RA bulletin board in Dorch second left.  This is what it looked like Saturday morning, whereas on Friday afternoon, it had been covered in papers talking about political issues such as illegal immigration, abortion, and such things.  Assumedly, this was the quasi-intentional work of a few people having a good time.  I'm sure there are movements in art that center on themes of reduction and maybe even destruction, such as this is an example of.  But again, the intention, to me, is all important.  I can look at this bulletin board and see art, project an image onto it by forming patterns between the little white bits of paper and the huge brown gash sliding through the black.  But that does not mean it is a work of art.  A work of art requires an artist, an artist who creates or changes the appearance of his media in order to convey a thought or emotion, or any other sentiment.  I of course do not know for sure, but I would assume that whoever tore down the bulletin board was not intending to make art, but rather just destroy.  Because that is fun sometimes.
