School of Saatchi television series on at the moment.

CHARLES SAATCHI IS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT TRACEY EMIN OR DAMIEN HIRST!!

I have been watching this programme and i have loved it. I don't think any good artists got through to the competition, the most silliest with the most ridiculous ideas for art have been entered and have got through the next stage. The programme is good inspiration for my own art work at uni as it is contemporary and i like my work to be contemporary. This programme was a competition before hand, it circulated the uni by email when i heard about it. I was going to enter it but i was under pressure with uni work............i wish i would have now as i think my ideas work have been better than the ones shown. I suppose their silly ideas = 'THE SHOCK VALUE' that Saatchi and the contemporary art world crave.

Like a king on his throne Saatchi waits for his new mini Emin's and Hirst's. I don't think he will get this from the artists on the programme as i don't see them anything like Emin or Hirst...they are trying to be someone else....themselves.

This programme has influenced me to search and look out for any other art programmes, I know from this programme that i will enjoy them and it will help me at uni in my artistic practice, by giving me knowledge and inspiration.
