The separation was important. My senior year in art, I created a coloring book as a project for independent art. These are a few of my drawings from that book. They are in black and white, but are meant to be colored brilliantly. I have read several things over the years about what coloring books do to children.
Some people think that they just destroy a childs creativity.
And that happens a lot around here. Read Justin Halls comments about that. Whether or not you agree, it will get you thinking. And that is worth thinking about, though I guess that this is not the place to be expounding about it. So when I get my thoughts together, that will be another page.
