Letters are an incongruent assembly of lines and curves until they become a myriad of pictures. Some people can draw the straightest lines that on there own would seem unnatural but when they are put up against thousands of curves the perfect line becomes an extraordinary story.
Some artists use curves and points to fill a blank canvas atop a scene that was there all along while others take a simpler approach and admire the scene from the artists rendition. The art of appreciation points to the most obscure renditions and makes them most adored.
Artists who have all of humanity admiring them are dead. Unless they’re an actor or musician. They have everybody’s attention but only at their peak, after that only fans. While the musician reminds us of a certain time in our lives, the actor takes time out of our life to forget it for awhile.
I’ve heard that throughout history the style of writing a culture uses determines the depth perception of their drawings. Does this mean that typing evolved into motion pictures? Will voice recognition eventually control the characters within a video game? If they can type letters eloquently enough to bring in a new era of song and dance than we can talk our way into fire and brimstone.
Dancing is beautiful. It is the most primal of all the arts and can’t be synthesized. Like athletics, the professional can make it look easy but with the average person it is painful to watch and fun to participate. Dancing can be an agile presentation or frantic display depending on what you’re listening to and who you’re with. It is an art form that is not done alone because either we are dancing to the music, with a partner or a group. It is no mystery why dancing accompanies music because music is usually a montage of instruments played with more than one entity as well. “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Nietzsche
