In a veeeeerrrryyyy logical sequence of events, I looked up "pointillism" on Wikipedia to check my very rusty art history knowledge (Seurat! nailed it!), and after skimming the entry got to heading labeled Music.
Pointilistic music? Tell me more.
Different musical notes are made in seclusion, rather than in a linear sequence, giving a sound texture similar to pointillism.
Probably like jazz.
What came after was even MORE intriguing though.
This type of music is also known as punctualism or klangfarbenmelodie.
KLANGFARBENMELODIE?!
German for sound-color-melody.
Oh my God, yes. "Spatchcock" has been bested.
CUE SEGWAY! [or "segue" for those who are smrt]
Which OBVIOUSLY leads to this:
pointillism for babies
- perler beads
- pegboards
- ONE HOUR OF YOUR TIME
The fun begins.
It has been 7 wonderful minutes of relative stillness.
Designs are coming together.
Mae Cake has a surprisingly modern and graphic aesthetic.
Don't say anything, but it's been over a half an hour.
Zoo left 2 minutes after the last picture was taken, but 32 MINUTES FOR A TWO YEAR OLD.
V is "helping" Zoo, even though Zoo is now "vacuuming" and "singing".
Clockwise from upper left: Mae Cake's 2nd attempt (her first one with the lines got knocked over); V's heart; Zoo/V's star was immediately put to work as play food by Zoo, so who knows where it is now; my square, inspired by my blog header.
Next up, recreate Seurat!
Happy Thursday!
