Brainstorm Story: “Universal Drawing”

One Hundred Seventy Sixth Post: Brainstorm Story: “Universal Drawing”

The day has been slow. I was wrapping and organizing gifts with only 31 days until Christmas. See, you should have read my previous post of the importance of ordering early online and pre-ordering the X-box 360. There is still plenty of time, but don’t wait.

And now for the presentation of the story idea. It is just something I was thinking I don’t know how much I will develop it. I have other stories yet to finish. I think the idea is original. Although some of the ideas are taken from history. Here is the story idea:

The scene is a culture that is forbidden to read or write. This is common in many oppressed cultures. So to communicate with each other they use the universal means of communication which is drawing. They create drawings that are more profound and contain more self expression. Such drawings are used to express feelings and communicate. These are more than just images they express intangible things like poems that can not be written. But this is just the beginning. The drawings lead to inventions and eventually the collection of knowledge. The drawers learn secret arts and magic. The scene is set in the past or a different world, but the signs they draw on walls or carve in trees is sort of like the Internet is used today. (They are the hackers of their time.)

It is amazing what a simple drawing can do. Just think how powerful and meaningful your next art work is. In the meantime... May the Creative Force be with You
