Oh my gosh, I just read my last post and saw all the errors. I am sorry, I can't get the spell check to work and I wanted to put in a picture and that, too, didn't happen how it should. What's a girl like me to do?
Tonight we had our first roasted chestnuts while watching the first part of a five part series, I think BBC, about the origins of art and what attracts us to certain art. anyways in a nutshell it's all about EXAGERATION. In exagerating the human form it becomes much more interesting. So out with realism, it is too boring. They did a test with seagulls. Baby seagulls right after they are born peck their mother for food. It was found out that what the babies were pecking was the red in the beak of the mother. A test was done with a stick with a red painted stripe at the top and the babies pecked and pecked as if it was their mother. Then they decided to paint three red stripes on another stick. Both sticks were put in front of the baby seagulls. Low and behold, the babies were extra excited by the "three" red striped stick and even ignored the "one" red stripe stick. They showed that exageration of the stripes caused the increased excitment. Think about it and how exageration is used in the world around us in just about everything.
