DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, July 9
The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

~sick-snowangel:iconsick-snowangel: reports, July 1
Sex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, :iconcypherthepanicartist: , said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

Art of Office

lolly:iconlolly: reports, January 17, 2008
Do you ever spend any time clicking on any of the ads you see here on dA? Okay, I can hear people groaning already "I haaaaate advertising.." but in all fairness our advertising team works pretty hard to make sure we have as relevant of ads as possible, and sometimes they are not only relevant to this community, but on occasion they lead to something absolutely amazing.
Which leads me to the whole point of this article, or as it turns out to some degree, the whole PowerPoint of this article.
Whilst checking the ad content I saw one for the site Art of Office and my first thought was, "Art for my office?". Well, I could not have been more off the mark. What it turned out to be was a style and form of art that I was previously unaware of for the most part.
Art of Office showcases work created entirely in programs from Mac Office, done in PowerPoint, Excel and Word, and there is some seriously mind-blowing work up there.
I mean, look who the featured artist is currently. None other than Devo founder. visual artist, graphic designer, short film maker, and composer Mark Mothersbaugh utilizing Word to showcase his series of postcard art that he has been doing for going on 30 years now as a personal and artistic diary.

But, it gets even cooler than that. I then found a member of deviantART on there as well. His work can be found at Prince-Of-PowerPoint over there as well as ~Prince-of-Powerpoint here in our esteemed community.

Overall, I have to say I was instantly absorbed by the work here, and became immediately lost on the site for hours being blown away by things like 12-Ceasers done in Excel. Up till this week, hearing the name Excel made me want to cringe and cry and made me think of banal activities like accounting. But now I want to break it out and see just what it can do.

And that above all is the coolest thing about the site hands down. It really drives home the lesson that art is never about what tools you have but how you use those tools.
So go check it out and I bet you will get the same inspiration from it I did.

Quite nifty and imaginative, and so much more professional than stuff I used to do at work. Office workers have long amused themselves with various arts and crafts that can be created using "found" office supplies and materials. Let's not forget those eraser pigs with push-pin legs and heads--or the endless paperclip chain jewelry.

Word is great. Before I learned how to use MS Paint, I learned graphics and color on MS Word. There's word art, and autoshapes that are fun to play with.
