January 27th, 2012 Admin Question by E: An arts high school won’t get me into college?
I’m now a sophomore and interested in switching to an arts high school. There’s a very good one in my state, that’s just for juniors and seniors. It seems like a great fit for me, and I believe it will benefit my learning in many ways. I’m not exactly set on art as a career, but I still thoroughly enjoy it. I’d apply for the visual arts section of the school (out of dance, music, theatre, media arts, visual arts, and writing). I shadowed, and have attended informational meetings and I absolutely love it there. I don’t think I’ll have a problem getting in, but I have concerns elsewhere…
I’ve talked to people about it at my current school, and a lot of them said that they considered it, or they think I shouldn’t consider it, because an art high school won’t lead my to getting into colleges, or at least not good ones. That the education there won’t be nearly as high, and I won’t benefit academically. I’m an A/B student, the B’s being out of procrastination and laziness, which are bad traits of mine. But I am capable of doing the work. The school I’m at now doesn’t challenge me, and I’m definitely not in love with it either way…
I do want the best education I can get, and if going here will keep me from it, then I’ll decide against it. If I can stay on top of my learning there, which I can, and teach myself to get the most out of it, I thiiink I should be fine, but what do you think?
Do you really think that attending an arts high school would keep me from going to a college /not/ centered around the arts?
Do you think they would look at me going to an arts high school as a bad thing, and not accept me?
Best answer:
Answer by Larkin Fiona
Going to an arts high school will help you get into an art program at college, or a fully formed arts school. If you are applying to college and don’t want to focus on art then they will be sorely confused as to why you went to an Arts high school.
Frankly it seems as if you need to go to a better school that is good in all fields, not just art. Consider transferring to a private school that is more of a challenge to you.

January 25th, 2012 Admin Question by shershadow13: Can anyone suggest an art activity to do with Infants?
I work in a Day Care Center, and have eight Infants, ages three months – six months. Since their fine motor skills have not developed quite well yet, what can I do for an art project? I’ve already done the finger prints and the hand prints, as well as letting them finger paint. What else can I do? Thanks!

January 18th, 2012 Admin Question by Butterfly: Fine Motor skills?
Hello,
Does anyone have advice how to get a child to practice their fine motor skills when they refuse to do any of these activities? He will not go to the art center or playdough , or anything that involves fine motor skills. He has very little skill in this and when he does try he becomes mad and when encouraged to go to these centers he throws a tantrum.
Best answer:
Answer by Amber
Hmmm… I really don’t have any suggestions other than find out what he topic/center he really likes and incorporate some fine motor skill activities with that. It also depends on the age of the child.
My first thought is that quite possibly there is something else going on. Could he be having sensory issues? In the very least, maybe he is just very frusterated with not being successful… could you simplify the tasks on a 1:1 basis. If he enjoys being outside, take a task outside to do with him. If it is not sensory that is bothering him…he may like sand… provide containers and scoops and as he progresses provide smaller containers and small scoops/spoons. Pouring water helps with fine motor. If he spends his time in the block area…remember that building with blocks do use fine motor skills…maybe provide some smaller 1-in blocks to stack. Make it fun by knocking them down. What child does not enjoy that? 
My suggestion to you is to observe what he does choose to do in the classroom… quite possibly you can integrate it unknowingly to him in his chosen interest area. Good luck!

January 15th, 2012 Admin Question by : Why is this guy at work being so rude to me?
I’m the new admin girl for a small visual arts training centre, and the is an intern here, and at first, he was very friendly towards me.
However, after about a month, he kept bugging me with questions about why I am “wasting [my] time” doing admin work. He said that it pains him to see me “lost on life”.
He claims that he wants to care. However, if I didn’t know better I’d say he is merely giving me grief for sport, just because I’m just the lowly admin girl and he is a talented young man with the world of video and film at his feet, and he has no respect for me. However — I don’t see why he has to bug me and give me grief when I am doing nothing but doing the best I can to get by?
He will talk within earshot with another colleague of mine, and talk condescendingly about people “settle down in a job doing mundane things”, and following that up by saying he “believes in chasing the dream”.
What’s his f*cking problem?
He even SMS-es me about this outside of work. wth. so the young, talented, and bored are allowed to basically bully others just because they can? What can i do so he doesn’t just get away with this behavior?
Best answer:
Answer by mimi
I’m really not too sure what his deal is. However, you should just call him on it the next time it’s just you and him in the room. let him know that you are perfectly happy where you are and that you don’t appreciate him belittling you. and of course if the behaviour continues I then suggest you go to your manager and let them know about it. They can make sure that he does back off. But first I let him know how you feel. usually that will do. I also suspect he’s just a tad bit ignorant and arrogant! lol But no one should be made to feel uncomfortable at work. I,m sure you take great pride in you admin. duties! I know i did when i was doing it. In fact I quite enjoyed that job. So keep doing your best and it won’t go unnoticed!
Good Luck and take care! I hope he eventually sticks his foot in his mouth! then you can have a little chuckle that day!

Answer by KMR
It is unclear why you submitted all ten questions as none except the first one has anything at all to do with Pop Art. All four responses are very ambiguous and absolutely bizarre! The Pop Art movement was to the uppity fine art world in the 1950s what punk was to corporate rock in the late 1970s and 1980s!
I don’t believe ANY of the four choices are correct and I’ve been a Pop Art lover for decades! It clearly is NOT Answer A because Pop Art was a rebellion of the “otherworldliness” of Expressionism and was clearly grounded in visual reality. Heck, it was street art, for goodness sakes! Literally!
B is possibly true except that there HAS to be personal expression (involvement) in ANY art or else no one would look at it. Every artist places a personal signature on his/her art. If the artist had to think his own thoughts to produce it, then it’s personal. If the viewer has to think in order to understand the artists intent, then it’s also personal. So, to me, this answer makes no sense. Pop Art is, however, based on taking everyday items and brands, cultural icons and even street junk–articles that are clearly not art by themselves, and arranging them or repeating them in such a way that they become art.
C is pretty ominous because the subject matter in every piece of Pop Art art is identifiable and is used with the specific intent to mock the current art world at that time.
D is probably the correct answer except that I don’t believe the intent of Pop Art was to ‘revisit’ the past and pay homage to it such as was done with Cubism and Post-Impressionism, but rather was a deliberate effort to take ordinary objects like soup labels, rusty street signs, benday dots from magnified penny comics, old car parts, etc and glorify them as a mockery of the existing art at that time.
So there you have it. A logical non-answer to your question! Perhaps another response will find logic in one of the 4 responses and give you the proper answer you need rather than the anti-establishment, rebellious Pop Art answer you got from me!!
Best of luck. This was a tough one! I stand by my opinion that NONE of the answers are correct. Please…somebody out there, provide a more productive response.
