Dear sir or madam, I am a girl from Smithfield Plains High School in South Australia doing
research on Aboriginal culture. I must say that I do not understand your
mood-swings on this site at all. First, you say all they do is paintings
with "lots of dots" and make up stories and play the didgeri-doo, and that
they have nothing to offer society. Then you say we should stop
patronising them! The things you say in your site are very skeptic and uncreative. You could
say the Mona Lisa is just a painting of a lady. You could say the leaning
tower of Pisa is just a leaning tower, or that the pyramids don't offer
nearly as much as the twin towers did. I don't think you can say these things at all until you've: - PAINTED a woman whose face expression you can't identify (Leonardo DaVinci)
- created a tower that has lasted over 200 years even when storms have
made it lean over (the tower of Pisa)
- created masterpieces that many died for and still don't upset the world
as much as our bricks and cement (Pyramids)
- created a way of living that has so much creativity and care for the
earth and so little destruction to the land (the Aborigines!) Obviously if you believe that art and music are of no value to our
society, even if it's "lots of dots" and didgeridoos, you don't have a
creative soul at all. Sincerely,
Claudia
