Stop & Post August 2008

[Egg Bramhill]

There's nothing in any rules about politics or religion. Provided the poster stays on topic and JA was making the point about his artwork then there's no problem.

Art is very often about politics/religion and other volitile subjects. The rules are not against posting such artwork but about wandering off topic by discussing the politics/religion behind the artwork rather than discussing the artwork its self.

If I created a drawing of Margaret Thatcher and explained why I'd created it in such a manner then I'm not opening the thread for a general discussion on MT's political values but explaining my reasons for creating the artwork the way that I did.

If the thread then becomes a discussion/argument about MT's politics, this is against the rules.

Posting a religious icon is not against the rules. Posting an explanation behind the creation of such an icon is not against the rules. If the thread degenerates into a discussion about individual religious beliefs then this is against the rules.
