Okay, so I'm sitting in the worst class in the world right now, doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the year, so I figured I'd update on how my art project thing is going.

I finished the Poison Apple, which I re-named "I Don't Take Apples from Strangers", and then had an idea to do like a whole classic Disney series. I just finished yesterday "Never Trust a Bottle with a Vague Label", which is the 'Drink Me' bottle from Alice in Wonderland. I'll upload pictures soon-ish of each of them.

But now I'm stuck. What should I do next? I could do Cinderella's slipper ("Footwear is Best Made with Laces"), but I feel like it would need more to it thatn I can think of at the moment, so I don;t want to work on something yet if I don;t have a clear image in my head of how I want it to be at the end.

I could do Sleeping Beauty with a needle ("Always Wear a Thimble"), but I'm not sure if people would get it, plus I can't think of something to put on the piece to signify that its being offered to her by the witch (In "I Don't Take Apples from Strangers", I had above the apple 'Just a bite?' and I think that really brought it all together).

I could do Aladdin with the lamp (No name as of yet), and I think it would be cool because I'm planning on using red for the background, which will be new for me, but I really can't draw lamps and I have no idea what its missing, because it is definitely missing something in my mind.

Little Mermaid is always an option, except I don't know what pivotal object I could use in the piece. A fork maybe? I really don't want to do a seashell, its way too cliche. But the colors for that piece would be a nice mixture of pastels, different from the others.

Sleeping Beauty I could maybe do, and I'd use the rose, but I can't paint a rose. I suck at them. Maybe if I take a picture of one and cut it out....? But the background for that would be bold colors, like stained glass, and then muted with a thin layer of dark blue paint. Plus, I don't have words for that one either.

Then there's Fantasia, Pochahontas, Lion King, Pinnochio, Dumbo, Bambi, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Mulan, Tarzan, oy!!! There are so many it makes my head spin! As for this list, I either haven't thought about them much or don't know the movies well enough to think about them.
I need suggestions on the focal object of these movies, like I had with the first two I did, and words to put on them, or, heck, even names would be helpful!


So whaddaya say guys....
HELP????

Well, what do you think folks, is chivalry dead? If it's not, should it be dead?

Chivalry is rooted in sexism, no matter what way you look at it; the rules came from a time where men were considered better than women and men had to do everything for them.

But nowadays, when men and women are treated by and large as equals, is a man holding a door open for a woman considered chivalrous or sexist?

Personally, I would love for a guy to hold the door open for me or open my car door, but ordering my meal for me would piss me off.

What are your views on chivalry? Leave a comment or two, let me know what you think- I want this blog to be as much me talking to you as you talking to me and to each other.
