Thomas Jefferson’s Community Chalkboard

Filed under: — Mattp9 @ 8:36 pm

Neat idea supporting the freedom of expression, you know, the First Amendment of the United States of America Constitution. The one which says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." That’s the one.

I’m not much on public doodling, or expression, or maybe I am? After all, what’s a blog all about? Kind of public, don’t ya think? Well, I do support anyone’s public doodling or expression and this is one very creative way to support a free expression of ideas by the community.

The movies of artists such as M.C. Escher either discussing their work or showing their work are spellbinding to me. My favorite ones are the pile of forks, and spoons which project a shadow of a motorcycle, but look nothing like it without the shadow, and the drawing which looks like a lot of nothing, but when a mirrored cylinder is placed in a particular spot, it shows a portrait of M.C.Escher in the reflection of the print.
