Some monstrosities...with more to come.

Recently, the management of Clackamas Community College in Oregon City had an “art” show where people would come and show “art”. Then it would be displayed as punishment against the students who don’t want tuition to go up again. In my quest  to leave Clackamas a better place then I found it, here is a commentary on the “art” to help my fellow students engage in discussion on the “art." Thus commences a series on art from what will now be known as CCC and Lord willing, there will be other art from the Portland Area at large. But for now  we go to CCC!

1. The Leaf

This “fine” piece of “art” was apparently created by finding a giant leaf that had the middle eaten out of it by an army of fire ants, then dragging the whole thing to a metal foundry where they managed to wrap the whole thing in plaster and cast a mold on it. I think it would have been easier to just mold a giant leaf without the bother of finding one and a horde of fire ants.

2. The Clackamas Seaweed

 This is either a piece of seaweed that someone dragged over from the Atlantic Ocean, or it’s a hideous new variety of Asparagus that will take over the world with its high-in-fiber-stalk.

3. The Bird

I  believe that this is a bird that is trying to take off in flight. But please look to the right hand side and what do you see? Trees! And how is a bird that big supposed to fly through those branches.

No Tyler, you’re wrong. The bird Is going to land in the trees and rest”

The bird weighs at least 50 pounds and will topple the entire tree over onto the building next to it in which case there would be even more “art”

I do hope that this small example of the horrendous pieces of "art" that litter the landscape goes to show why we need such valuable critique as this. Check back soon for more examples of monstrosities.
