you know i reckon folks would have a higher appreciation of more traditional art...
given our fascination with computer game graphics and how often we find our selves drooling over some scene in a computer game...etc...
drag these kids round an old school art gallery..with traditional portraits created by artists with genuine skill and dedication....and nothing no reaction...it's a wonder..even "unknown" artists of 100 years ago created images that leave you rooted to the spot with amazement.."how the heck did they do that"
yet even with computer graphics "introducing" youngsters to the joys of "wow look at that..!!"...thinking and appreciation of a scene ..they some-how can't or won't maintain that same out look when confronted with a traditional oil painting...
apparently traditional oil painting just isn't "clever" enough for them..??
you know something it's actualy weird...a very strange mind set.. kinda selective blindness...entirely ruled by what is "cool"..and who tells us what is cool??

it's Orwellian...how many fingers am i holding up Winston...
they've succesfully managed to put the cart in front of the horse...and in doing so dehumanise us all...
it seems to me that "cool" has become another religion..and religion is a weapon of mass destruction..
