This is fantastic art!
Agreed. So simple, but so effective.
Those who can’t do…
Judge those who can?
I know the answer is supposed to be teach but...
The original phrase is pretty lame anyway. If you can't do a thing, how can you be expected to teach it? I'd rather have a teacher that actually knows how to do the thing they're trying to teach me.
The saying isn’t trying to convey that people who can’t do something are well suited to teach it, it’s disparaging teachers by saying if they were any good at what they teach they would be doing it instead of teaching it.
Oh, I get its point, I just think it's a nonsensical phrase.
It's a very American thing, where we don't value teachers. It's nonsensical in reality, but it's the way America operates.
Probably better phrasing would be "Those who used to do, teach". As in, teachers/coaches might be people who due to any number of circumstances can't participate in doing the thing directly, but have experience in it.

This is art, build this around an actual rheostat and slap it against a wall
The thing is that if we challenge the machine, it gets noted immidiately as being aggressive. The reason for this is because language is normalizing machine thinking. What will push workers in line, what will cool the bloom of the masses, what will paint the mighty as delightful, what will alienate us from our peers and nature.
By taking guardianship for our languages, challenging our everyday words, we normalize the meaningful, normalize humanity.
My dumb optimistic ass scrolling to the comments under this post thinking "maybe this time iT wOn'T bE sO bAd" lmao
That has the same energy as telling protestors to go home
Accurate
This escalated way faster than I was ready for 😭
Am I the only one who read that headline and thought "an art teacher told a student to dial down the feminism ? An art teacher ? Bullshit they did"
Nice art but the backstory is utterly fake
You do know that some art teachers are pricks, right?
No obviously art teachers are a monolith that are completely predictable in every way, just like women!
That's impossible. Nuance is obviously DEI bullshit.
It can also be that the art teacher is perfectly fine with feminism but feels it is overpowering other themes. Dialling it down can be a valid criticism. You catch more flies with honey and all that.
The response with this artwork is excellent though. It's a piece specifically about feminism, so no need to dial anything down. It makes a point and is beautiful to look at. I'm not a big fan of art that uses text to make a point but I think here it serves a useful purpose and it wouldn't have the same effect without text.
Your be shocked what art teachers say, especially at the college level.
Just because you land a teaching job doesn’t mean you are self aware
Did you even look at her art? She has it set to raging feminist. You gotta dial that down.
