ok I need a little more explanation on this pic!!??

 

[dpuck1998]

I'll taking a stab based on the title, but the idea is that a small child dropped the toy from above and is telling daddy. The artist is pulling forth our deep feelings of dropping or losing something we hold dear and the emotions as both a parent and child based on that feeling.

Man I'm deep...

I dont know what to think about this?

 

[tinkbutt]

[DebºoºS]

I like the way they placed it so the people are looking around and over it. Great idea

Huh? This is lost on me. Are we looking at a picture or a picture of a picture? Where is this taken? What event was taking place to draw all the people? Why? Why? Why? Is there any explanation?

Okay, does it look to anyone else like it was dropped in a toilet? It brings back SOOO many memories of my kids dropping their toys in the toilet, and having Mommy fish them out. Which begs the question....why is it called "Daddy, Daddy"?

If it's the art that's confusing you, that's okay...it's art. Doesn't have to make sense.

If it's dpuck....well, can't help you there. He confuses all of us.

Art eh

When we were at Disneyland Paris last week the kids who are 8 & 6 wanted to go to Paris so off we went. We visited the Louvre and told the kids we were going to see the Mona Lisa which is the most famous painting in the world. DD looked, took photos and asked all the right questions. DS who is 6 asked why the painting was so small and why was the lady not smiling. The same boy asked later why all the boy statues didnt wear underwear
