Missed the most recent Jean Grey School livetweet session taken directly from the pages of WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN? For shame! Sign up for the Jean Grey School members list on Twitter to make sure you don't skip another class, but in the mean time, enjoy this transcript plus see what the X-Men were up to during class...and take some notes or Headmaster Wolverine will not be happy!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Good afternoon students both resident and visiting through Twitter! I’m @JGSHeadmistress, Kitty Pryde.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
It's time to begin our Live Twitter Event! Take your seats!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Sorry to be starting a bit late. Par for the course here at the Jean Grey School it seems. ANYWAY...
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Today we have a special treat, and you’re going to get to sit in on Professor Paige Guthrie’s Mutant Art class.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
So without further adieu, I’m going to hand the reins of the official school Twitter account to Prof Guthrie.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Hi.
Kitty Pryde @JGSHeadmistress:
Introduce yourself, Paige.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Hi. I’m Professor Paige Guthrie. I teach Mutant Art.
Kitty Pryde @JGSHeadmistress:
Um, Paige, we’re live on Twitter, PLEASE, this sounded very interesting when you pitched it last week.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Hold on a second.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Ah, much better. Hi, everyone, I’m Paige Guthrie, and I am the lucky professor who gets to teach Mutant Art.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
The full title is “The History of Mutant Art: From Jumbo Carnation to Kenji Uedo” but it’s much more than just an Art History class.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Sure, we dig into mutant artists, their works, their goals, their techniques, but to really understand an artist, you need to make art.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
So last week, our assignment was to make a piece of art that we could then critique in class.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
So, here we are. Let’s do a quick roll call.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@GenesisHero?
Genesis @GenesisHero:
Here, Professor.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@idie_okonkwo?
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
Here.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@_broodling_?
Broo @_broodling_
Present.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@_Anole_?
Anole @_Anole_:
Here.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@KidGladiator1?
Genesis @GenesisHero:
I saw his bodyguard carrying him unconscious across the lawn earlier.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Okay. @SANOTRULES?
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
HERE AND STOKED!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
.@GlobHerman?
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
I’m the gelatinous one over here in the corner.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
I know who you are, @GlobHerman. @QQuire?
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Oh, I’m here, alright.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Then let’s get started, shall we? As an artist, your work should speak for itself, so only give the title of your work.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
From there the class will give comments for what it says to them. After that, you can explain your goals, etc…
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
How about @GenesisHero. Why don’t you go first?
Genesis @GenesisHero:
Sure. Here’s my work. It’s called "Ugly."
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
Dude, is that a super-powered goose?
Anole @_Anole_:
I like the rendering on the feathers.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
A nursery rhyme? LAME.
Anole @_Anole_:
I like it. The Ugly Duckling story.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
So pedestrian. Pardon me while I psychically barf.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Constructive criticism, @QQuire.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
It’s okay, Professor. He’s just a jerk.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
Maybe it is lame, but you’re right it’s the ugly duckling. I guess I find stories of nature vs. nurture interesting.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
It’s very well done. How about @SANTORULES?
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
Aw, yeah. Here we go. All I need to do to show you this is turn around. It’s called LETS DO THIS
Anole @_Anole_:
Tell me I’m not seeing what I’m seeing.
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
YOU’RE TOTALLY SEEING IT.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
Is that Iron Man?
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
Yup, TONY FREAKING STARK!
Anole @_Anole_:
...carved into your rear end?
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
I DID A SCULPTURE OF TONY STARK ON MY BUTT!
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
This can’t be moral. However, you really did a great job with the nose.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
I can’t believe you, @SANTORULES. I’m not even giving out grades today and you get an F.
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
WORTH IT!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
How about @idie_okonkwo?
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
Absolutely, Professor. It is called “Self Portrait.”
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
AAAAAHHHHH!
Anole @_Anole_:
That’s TERRIFYING!
Genesis @GenesisHero:
I don’t know, it’s pretty awesomely done, @idie_okonkwo.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with lips over there.
Idie @idie_okonkwo :
It is what is referred to as an inner self portrait. So, it is a monster, but it is a monster coming to peace.
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
You sure are a bucket of sunshine, lady.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchoo:
Let’s talk after class, @Idie_Okonko. Next is @_Anole_
Anole @_Anole_:
Sure thing. It’s just titled “Sunset, May 4th”
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
WHOAH! That’s not a painting. That’s a photo.
Anole @_Anole_:
It's not! It’s a painting.
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
NO WAY!
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
That is truly beautiful, @_Anole_.
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
Dude, you are SICK.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
That is one of the best paintings I’ve ever seen, @_Anole_.
Anole @_Anole_:
It’s just a landscape, guys. I took a class one summer. Let’s not go overboard.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Zzzzzzzzz.
Anole @_Anole_:
Okay, we can go a little more overboard.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Next is @GlobHerman.
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
I didn’t do it.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
I’m surprised. Next up is @_broodling_! I understand you’ve prepared something exotic for us.
Broo @_Broodling_:
Yes. It’s called “A Unicorn Flying Through a Rainbow Over Clouds Raining Diamonds.”
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Sounds exciting! Go ahead, let’s see.
Broo @_Broodling_:
That was it. It’s mental art, a Rigellian artform creating images in other people’s minds.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
Intriguing.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Oh. Well…it was…beautiful?
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Yeah, except we did all the work. Can we get to MY piece, please?
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Sure. Amaze us, @QQuire
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
At last—let the unveiling begin!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
I told you, you didn’t have to cover it with a sheet. This is an informal showing.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
I call it “The Future of Mutant Kind.”
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
VOILA!
Genesis @GenesisHero:
…
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
AW, WHY?
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
Saints preserve me!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Ok, so…that’s a…full figure…nude…self-portait.
Rockslide @SANTORULES:
That tops me. Dude, you’ve got some…uh…you know. Nerve.
Broo @_Broodling_:
Ah, I see, friend @QQuire! But from what my studies have shown, the scale of the relative anatomical parts seems mildly skewed.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Depends on the specimen, sleazoid.
Glob Herman @GlobHerman:
Nobody wants to see that!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Let’s not insult someone for their expression.
Anole @_Anole_:
No, he’s right—NOBODY wants to see that.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Come on, kids—let’s keep the discussion to the MEANING of the piece. What’s it all about?
Broo @_Broodling_:
Given the physical irregularity, I’d say it postulates the future of mutant kind lies in elephantitis and deformity.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
That’s…one possibility. What do you think, @idie_okonkwo?
Idie @idie_okonkwo:
I can’t look at this piece, professor—another glance and I’ll be going to hell, for certain.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Aw, @idie_okonkwo, my dear…if you’re gonna go, there’s no better way.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
I think it’s an expression of the artists’ inner fear.
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
Interesting. What do you mean?
Genesis @GenesisHero:
He’s plagued by the knowledge that he is NOT the most important person on Earth. Hence a work of “self-aggrandizement” to reassure himself.
Genesis @GenesisHero:
But he’s incapable of producing a work with any truth in it because he’s not being truthful with himself.
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
Ok, that is a COMPLETE misinterpretation! For your information, I was showing my complete lack of RESPECT for any institutionalized art!
Quentin Quire @QQuire:
The only true art can come from the outsider!
Jean Grey School @JeanGreySchool:
And we'll stop there. Thank you all for joining us for Mutant Art! See you next time!
