Art (Op. Ed. 1st article)

Which "speaks" more to you? 3-D art, like dancing, acting, sculptures, singing, etc. or 2-D art, like writing, drawing, painting, sketching, etc. To me, art is seeing life the way the artist sees it, and understanding it. In my mind, 3-D art speaks more. Seeing things in motion, like dancing and acting, give me a bit more insight into the artist's mind. Singing gives me words that make me think mor in-depth about whether or not they have a deeper meaning. It verbalizes what the artist is saying. Sculptures can give more info about what the artist intended us to see from it. 2-D art is just different. It's flat and still. Drawing, painting, sketching, and photography are all open to controversy because there is no words to back up exactly what the artist was thinking. I think that they leave too much space for people to clutter with their own thought about what it's supposed to say, rather than trying to figure out exactly what the artist intended. Writing is a bit different. The words are right there, telling you what's going on. So i would put writing in its own category . Maybe not even consider it art.
What would you consider writing? In my opinion, art is open for interpretation. But writing kind of tells you exactly what the author wants you to think. I suppose it depends what kind of writing you're talking about. Poetry is definetly art because it is open for inerpretation. You can think what you want about what the author means. But novels and non-fiction peices are informational and more to the point. So in my opinion, poetry is art, but other writing is not.
What could we define art as? Perhaps it is anything a person has created that is open to interpretation by the audience.

2nd April Fools Article/3rd MP

Tree Crashes through New School Window!

Earlier this week in the library, there was an accident on N. DuPont Road, right outside our school. A light blue Sudan collided with a tree near Mr. Drakes science room. The tree subsequently fell into the science classroom. Luckily there was no one in the classroom at the time although some serious damage to the window was taken. All new windows will need to be put in Mr. Drake's room.
"Of course this would happen to me, right after I painted the room and made it look nice," Mr. Drake said, in an angry tone. Mr. Drake has been relocated to the old Adult School room upstairs until the damage is fixed. The science classes will be interesting without a lab to work in.
No one is happy about this damage, especially not Dean Rumschlag. "We just got new, expensive windows and now 4 of the are ruined because of an inattentive driver," says the Dean.
Hopefully the windows will be repaired soon. If not, the rest of this year in science will be quite an adventure. More updates on the windows will be published in the next issue.

Janitor's Go on Strike (1st april fools art/3rd mp)

This just in, the Cab Calloway janitors have gone on strike. They refuse to clean up any more messes or wipe down any more tables. After school, students have been accused of dropping trash and mainly gum wrappers on the hallway floors after the janitors leave. This creates a mess that the janitors have already cleaned up once that day but now have to clean up again the next morning.
“They leave their trash everywhere,” states one of the janitors, “one time in the boy’s bathroom there were bags of chips all over…there must have been like 50 of them!” The janitor’s are getting tired of cleaning up after everyone. Another janitor said, “We don’t want to lose our jobs, we’re simply doing this in order to teach kids a lesson about littering.”
Simply stated, they want us to live cleaner. Each day we here about the causes of global warming, littering appears in the list. Littering is one of the main causes of the ozone layer destruction, so the janitors think that if we trash the school, we’re doing the same things outside. They’re really just worried about the earth.
So kids, stop leaving your trash and gum everywhere throughout the school and throw it in a trashcan. There is at least one located in every classroom and even some in the hallways and lobby. Living cleaner benefits everyone-including you. So stop being lazy and drop your trash right in the trash can.

The Fear of Religious Persecution. (2nd arts article/3rd mp.)

Slender beams of accusation
enter this darkened hall
as I kneel,
always forlorn,
always alone,
frozen here,
waiting.

Tortured forms wrought in panes of glass
loom as dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
penetrating my darkened soul.

Terror on humanity's face.
I raise my head,
now submitting
to this uncaring
fate.
