Muhammad's?

Always furious, fast and furious, like Shiva.

Dunno why atheists can't leave Christians (and seems only Christians, they don't attack Muslims or anyone else with the same fervour) to their self determination. I speak in general of this forum

Firstly there is the obvious cultural context. I don't know why this point isn't obvious. Secondly people do attack Islam.

Those kids have skill. Especially the Ronald McDonald one. But the theme and direction shows a serious lack of judgement from the art teacher that verges on mind-bogglingly stupid.

Art teacher's judgement looks fine.

Some fascinating ideas here. Perhaps too challenging for school children but we should never underestimate them.

I think they're in their final year of school, so it looks about right for that age. It is sort of level of theme and ideas I'd expect. It is also appropriate for artists to seek to be shocking.

Tried going there now and it also struggled to load properly this time round. Basically, zealous nutters bitching and more tolerant or at least open-minded people defending or at the least recognising the work for what it is. Zealots are attacking the newspaper, the school and the kid - and from their comments, without even looking at the pictures. Instead, they are believing the destructive turd of a human being that started this shît, probably because his retard's macaroni sketch up sucked.

I speak in general of this forum, not this thread specifically which seems to be centred around some attention seeking little twat and has nothing to do with beliefs.

Dunno why Christians can't leave atheists (and seems not only atheists, they attack all other religions with the same fervour) to their self determination. I speak not just of this forum, but also specifically to every single situation where the attention seeking little twats force their juvenile belief in invisible sky-daddies on everyone else.

And the learner had no other way to convey his message than to create foul "art". And since when is it the place of a child learning skills to become a social commentator? No Grantleigh not good enough. We see this now and are left wondering what there is that is not seen.

Social commentary is the act of using rhetorical means to provide commentary on issues in a society.......id say he nailed it

Ek Kan nie glo julle 'entertain' hierdie nonsense nie. Jul bied net nog n platform aan hierdie kunstenaar. Ek is nie teen vryheid van uitdrukking nie, maar as dit wel teen ons ( ons as gemeenskap, as ouers, as Christene,) se oortuiging skop Kan ons nie sulke dinge toelaat nie

(this type of crap ad nauseam)

That Ronald Mcdonald Creation of Adam was incredible xD 10/10
That kid is going far !
Grantliegh displaying amazing artwork once again, if only your hockey team was as good as your artists.

Religious nutters, they're gonna crucify the kid.

Ladies love Jesus.

It would actually be mildly interesting to know the f/m ratio in the average church.

Meanwhile back at the ranch Gaia, Tefnut, Athena and Bilquis are shaking their heads and then going about their millennium.

It's a cry for attention and the offended snowflakes are playing right into it.
Freedom of religion, let the kid paint whatever makes him happy.
If you don't agree stop distributing it.

Yes, I was like that at that age, what I mean is that they expect the content at school to be moderated (read : Sanitised) but when you let the pupils make the content then its pretty unhinged.

Its really not the schools job to tell the kids what the limits of their art should be (baring the obvious limits like child porn etc)

I got them in my family. This video was shared via family whatsapp before it went viral.

Pretty smart kid to realise how capitalism has co-opted Christianity. When Jesus openly hated the rich.

Afrikaans people arguing religion. I love it. It's like watching a building implosion.

Priceless

A brilliant discourse on how religion has become Mac-Church.

Would love to know what the bio for each piece actually says.

Exodus 21:20–21:21

20When a slaveowner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished.
21But if the slave survives a day or two, there is no punishment; for the slave is the owner’s property.

What does this teach his children?

Has anyone actually figured out what the theme was?
