Of Raindeer and Rythem

   this week id like to start a new painting the theam for it will be how we as
people conceptualize the ideas and thoughts behind songs and fairy tales in
relation to there sugarcoating darker shallow messages children should learn
but we are uncomfortable teaching them.
    for example in the children song Rudolf the red nose reindeer.
they all laugh at him and call him names. but as soon as he lights up the way
for Santa becoming useful they all love him. Lets take this concept and explore
the positive sides behind it as well as figuring out ways to curb the negative
aspects of it. can we use some of the concepts we find in songs and fairly tales
 to fix problems in everyday life ? for example Can the concepts behind the song
 Rodolph the red nose reindeer be used to fix anything in society ? i can think
of a few things but i want to hear from you all. the way i plan to incorperate this
concept into a painting is to record it in one of my maps as a conversation that
happen at one of the event markers in a overhead map.ill do something silly like
a dream scape painting where you are in a bar talking to a oversized walrus in
a top hat and hes telling you his thoughts about it. Art is really fun because you
can take your own thoughts and record them for all time yet still make it entertaining
where someone might actualy listen to what notion your trying to get across.
It may be hard to understand what i meen bye my exploration map art concept
idea untill i get some of them posted but they will be coming soon.
