I’ve listened to Purity Ring for years and out of nowhere saw that they were playing in KC. Saw the tickets were only 30 bucks and it was worth it, I would have paid even more!
The visuals, music and vibe were just great. It was so artistic and stunning to see! I had no idea what I was gonna witness by their stage design and was truly blown away!
Im a high school art teacher, so you can imagine I have a wide range of talent in my classrooms. This year is one of the first where I have a kid in an intro class who thinks he is the greatest artist on earth. Constantly telling other kids their work is bad and his is incredible. He doesn’t have an IEP or 504, he is just insanely prideful.
Pretty much every project he complains about, doesn’t follow instructions, doesn’t ask for help and when he is done it looks like a 5 year old did it….
We had our big art show a couple weeks ago and he was so upset that none of his work was in it…I’ve given him every piece back after grading….he also has asked me if he should take AP art and I kindly told him he needed more practice. When in reality I want to let my inner critique to come out and knock him down a ton of pegs.
Edit: some additional context, this isn’t a kid whose goal in life is to be an artist, that would be a different story. He has told me he took this class just for the credit and doesn’t actually like art….
