art of the 1980's

i'm taking classes over winter break during my school's 'winter in term' session so that i can graduate in time. one of the classes is 'art of the 1980's'. the teacher is prof. yood, he's pretty much a george costanza art enthusiast (short, fat, neurotic, etc) . he's really great and animated (which is always good in a lecture course) and he rubs his eyes like a baby sometimes. once in a while he'll repeat him self too much and i want to throw my pen at him and tell him to MOVE ON! but i don't cause he's mostly really great. his only rule is that we don't eat fragrant food in class because that's really distracting to him . . . i think this is funny because he's chubby.

anyway, while i'm taking notes in class for 3 hours, sometimes i get a little distracted or think of somethin' cool and write it down. these are the things i wrote down today!

1:13pm - student sitting in front of me (in the front row) eating fragrant meal, i'm nervous he'll yell at her.
(he didn't yell at her.)

between what i wrote above and what i wrote next we looked at some paintings that an italian guy did of people farting, it makes sense i didn't get distracted during this section of class, farts are VERY entertaining.

2:09pm - bird silhouettes on a telephone wire on a baby's blanky
3:08pm - slide projector light bulb burns out
3:18pm - prof. yood talks about making a lead book sculpture and having to make a "mold? not...yeah! a MOLD!"
3:29pm - sunflowers are kind of dopey, hanging heads

mmm that's all... here's some of the farting paintings by chia (i can't find all the ones we looked at in class)
