This happened overnight at an elementary school and is still being investigated. No suspects at this time.
The only suspect: Jackson Pollock
Fingers crossed that shit is insured
no matter how highly educated some art critic is, they are not gonna convince me that Pollock's art pieces are anything but dribble. For those who don't know, the CIA's cold war playbook against Socialist Realism was to promote artists like Pollock:

-yeah every once in a while, there is a news story about a dribble art piece found in a yard sale, if it's a genuine Pollock, it's worth millions, if it's some preschooler's dribble, it's worthless lol.
The important part is that working class people tend to not understand it and art snobs tend to pretend to understand it. Instant status symbol
It's wild how angry postmodern stuff makes reactionaries though. Most working class people who don't get it just move on, but it takes a special kind of person to show up to an exhibit with a knife and attack a painting.
I think Pollock was just doing a bit. Like, he was expressing himself in a clearly uninterpretable way, like dashing random keys while typing. Then, he saw people freak out about how it "wasn't art" but they couldn't explain why it wasn't. Finally, rich snobs spent millions on nonsense they could have made themselves, and pretended to know what it was. Like when Andy Warhol made painting with piss just to get a rise out of people.
In my opinion, art is anything made to express a feeling or concept. How good it is depends on various factors, but if someone is trying to communicate their feelings or some thought, it is art.
I think there was a Rugrats episode which demonstrated the whole process.
That article is wild. Even wilder is the writers thoughts.
Probably a "SMART Board" it has some neat features but takes a while to learn so most teachers use it as a $2000 white backdrop
Yep, all mine exclusively used the MS paint feature on it one just kept it off and used regular expos on it lol
A minimum of one per year must also be written on with dry erase marker by a substitute teacher.
They are an enormous pain in the ass. I just use mine as a monitor/tv
It really doesn't look like a smart board. It looks like a plain old flatscreen.
I get a bit jealous when I see digitalized classrooms. For fucks sake, my university still uses chalk and the green board in 2021... and if you're lucky the door can close properly and you can open or close the windows.
I was raised with projectors and chalkboards. Didnt get smart boards till college. Huge waste of time.
Chalk and blackboards are literally the only good parts of universities. Burn the rest.
From my experience with smartboards, they're big pieces of tech for tech's sake. Maybe there's good ones out there but every teacher I've seen try to use one gave up partway through the year and started using the regular board instead.
