1. I am one of those people that believe that people would free themselves and be much happier if they listen to their inner child.
Even when I interact with little kids, it is my inner child that is playing with them and understanding them. I have this fabulous knack for easily identifying and encouraging my inner child. This video brought out that inner child, and I needed to see her today (my inner child, that is).
2. The video was wonderful!
In addition to being really well done technically and musically, the video is education and about my favorite subject – ART! The little art reporter with the big beautiful eyes professionally interviews the humorous and historically educated Dali resulting in a delightful account of Dali’s artistic and personal beliefs. I also hear that there are 2 more of this series coming out – one about DiVinci and another about Van Gogh. I can’t wait to see them.
3. I am in awe of the support and encouragement of Sophia’s creative mom.
You see, Sophia’s mom set all of this up when Sophia was 2 to keep a record of the cool art that Sophia was making. Sophia is now 6, and not only does Sophia have a YouTube Page, but she also has a website, a blog, and you can buy her work. How is that for supporting and nurturing a gift? I wanna be that cool of a parent when I have kids.
4. This is something I would want my kids to watch – if I had any.
This is the type of programming I would like to see on “Family” Channels. I can see us as a culture moving back to this wholesome, inspiring educational programming.
5. The subject was Dali!
Salvadore Dali - Thanks to Kirk Frazier for this fine photograph!!
Dali, the Surrealist Painter, that believed in pushing the boundaries of art and making people question what they saw both visually and existentially. Laying the subconscious onto paper – what? Isn’t that what I am trying to do with the new series? I was pumped to see this. My artistic path has been drastically shifting the past few months, and although I feel more confident about its direction now more than ever before, I hadn’t stopped to contemplate my standing within the history of art – how do I relate to it, if at all? The answer came in the form of this wonderful production, and so my continual search for self-wisdom has again been sparked. Oh, the “coincidences” of life!
SO check it out! And then let them know what you think.
We are artists, people! If you don’t tell us you appreciate the work – how else will we know?
