50 Visually Intriguing Ads That Target the Consumer in the Best Way

#42: Talk to Your Kids About Art School

A moment of disclosure: I ‘m a former art student, so this ad, in particular, made me laugh out loud. Yep, you better watch out for those dangerous art schools, kids. You don’t want your kids acting, writing, or painting pictures, not on my watch! This is a serious issue; talk to your kids about art school today!

We like how ironic this ad is—taking a serious issue among teenagers and ridiculing it a bit. Well, they’re not exactly ridiculing the serious issue, but rather the way people sometimes look down on the arts—as if it’s an issue if your kid wants to go to art school. We think that’s the point they’re trying to make; it’s open for interpretation, which makes it even better.
