Olympia Skit

Olympia Skit

(Both women walk in and see the painting)

Woman 1: Oh My God Becky look at her butt….Olympia looks like a total Greek prostitute! I mean its so big…its like out there! There is no way that this painting can be considered the object of beauty in high art!

Woman 2: I mean…Who understands this painter…when he painted her he demoralized our society…this is unacceptable, immoral and vulgar! He made this prostitute look like a goddess!

(A man walks in stares at the painting)

Man: Day-amn she fine! This Manet is a genius! He took the idea of that Venus of Urbina painting and created a total hottie! I’d hit it up!

Here is a picture of the Obama graffitti after repairs.

Team 1, Unite!

Okay you guys, I've gotten really confused. Haha.


Please, someone let me know what I need to do for class on Thursday. I know I'm supposed to dress up (big hats and such, I think) with Libby, but that's all I really know.

harrison.taylor@gmail.com is the best way to reach me...
Thank you!!!

Obama News Skit

Reporter: I’m _________________ here for Team 1 News. I am here in Little Five Points in Atlanta where a recent work of graffiti depicting presidential candidate Barak Obama has been defaced, just hours after completion. I am here to interview some of the local people and find out what they think.

Store Owner: I’m disgusted… I can’t believe that in this day and time and especially here in Little 5 Points, where people are thought to be so open-minded and progressive, that someone could do something this terrible to a work of art.

Con Observer: Quite honestly, I was offended that someone would paint over the picture of Martin Luther King Jr. that was there before. It had been here for years and no one ever touched it.

Outraged Observer: I think it’s sickening… absolutely horrible! I can’t believe that someone could be so ignorant and hateful as to do something like this!

Reporter: I have with me Cameron Wiltshire, One of the artists who painted the Obama graffiti. Why do you think that someone would do this?

Cameron: I think that this person is afraid of change, I think that this person has been taught at some level to hate.

Reporter: What would you say to the person who did this?

Cameron: I would say “I don’t blame you, I forgive you, I love you, you can come and talk to me and I’m not going to raise my fists at you, I’m gonna talk to you and give you a hug, caus’ I know that’s all you need.
