Maybe as an art project, Petey, your diorama would be better appreciated. As an assignment on the Industrial Revolution, your teacher was right on with her assessment.
we had to do a project in a mythology/folklore class – i said in the beginning there was nothing and that is what i did -nothing … the class liked it the teacher not so much :(
Petey’s concept was fine, but he should have accompanied it with a manifesto (even a brief one) explaining WHY it’s a scathing commentary on our consumer culture.
True, great art NEED NOT be explained, but sometimes original thinkers must meet their audiences halfway…
The true free thinkers never get a break. I had to make a piece of art from crushed egg shells in the seventh grade. I decided to make an egg. My teacher hated it so much she threw it away and claimed I didn’t do it.
If Petey were to write a report detailing the construction of the shoes by children not much older than he is and the slave conditions they work in he might get a better grade.
Keep trying to get your work out there, Petey. If this can happen (back in 2019) then yours has a shot too. “An Italian artist duct-taped a banana to a gallery wall in Miami as part of the Art Basel festival — and it sold for $120,000.”

I don’t remember Dill being so tough on himself. I’d only go so far as “curious little goof”.

Nike is a commentary on our culture.

Your teacher must like you Petey, you pulled out a “Gentleman’s C-” for basically bring a pair of your shoes to school in a box for your diorama!

Why is everything a “scathing commentary” with this kid?

Shoes in a shoebox? [crickets….]
Shoes in a shoebox as scathing commentary diorama? [Yay!]
See the difference? If you answered “no,” you may be Petey’s teacher….
