dearth?

so... didn't have a whole lotta time this weekend to do anything artistic. well i mean in terms of me actually painting something considering I left at 12:30 on friday and got home oh... 15 minutes ago. But i did get to go to canada and that was really cool. alot of the stuff up in canada is focusing on the first people and their art, because that is what the opening ceremonies at the olympics wanted to focus on too. and i was looking at all of these gorgeous totem poles and thinking about that. and although it wouldn't be part of my concentration what if i did something american, but truly native american. or maybe not that, but something that would just break it down and get to the core of art. like what exactly makes something art? i donno, just get rid of the 12 principles and see what is left. and then maybe for something else i can combine all of the 12 principles and see what happens. but i wonder what is left of art if you take away all of the things that make art? would it just be white? would there still be art without rules? art is not supposed to have rules but it does in fact art is probably one of the only things that has to have rules to exist. but what if you took away all of the rules then what? can you take away all of the rules? how? hmm.... i think i am going crazy. *sigh* and i still have a chem lab to finish. i wish i could do art instead.
GO CANADA! eh?
