Math and Art

These are our panels from today...a series of comic style panels go home almost everyday; they are quick and cumulative. This is a collaborative drawing based on a chapter from Gianni Rodari's tremendous book "The Grammar of Fantasy". In his chapter "The Mathematics of Stories", he talks about the relations between big and small, short and  tall, thin and fat etc. It's a book that has been feeding me for years, and I'm very grateful storyteller Bob Barton for passing it along in a class I took with him.

Here is a big house and on the top floor is a little ghost with big hair, in his hair are little bugs and there is a little bird whispering in his ear. On the second floor there is a little person making a big noise. And on the bottom floor is a big table with a little person eating a big meal.
