When Craft Gets Sloppy

Pedagogical=of or relating to teaching.

I really like the idea of making something sloppy on purpose.  I think about doing that myself because usually, the projects I do are really perfect.  Sloppy is hard for me.  But I have a feeling if I tried to make something sloppy it would look, planned out sloppy.  

Abject=extremely bad, unpleasant, and degrading.

Prodigious=remarkably or impressively great in extent, size, or degree.

"The lack of evident skill somehow implies the presence of concept." - this may be true sometimes, but I really don't think that is the case always.  I know that when I see something well made, I do think about the smarts that it takes to build it.  I know that doesn't touch on the conceptual aspect of it...  A piece of art that is well made would probably have to be in a museum/gallery type setting for there the be a conceptual aspect expected.  

Celerity=swiftness of movement.
