   David Shrigley urges schools to prioritise arts – with aid of giant mantis The Guardian – Lanre Bakare – 28th October 2024

   David Shrigley urges schools to prioritise arts – with aid of giant mantis

   On Monday, Shrigley unveiled the Mantis Muse, a towering nine-metre sculpture that is at the centre of a two-week alternative curriculum he is bringing to his former comprehensive school in Leicestershire, which he hopes will start a national conversation about the importance of the arts in education.

   Students at Beauchamp College in Oadby, where Shrigley was a student in the 1980s, were confronted by the giant insect on Monday, which sits in the middle of the school’s art and design block, with the artist’s lesson plan launching on the same day.

   Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like jeff bezos, anticheat and 2024 us presidential election. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was observant.

   But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!
