Yes folks, there has been an art revolution all around the world. It seems that people have started to live in the spirit of Da Vinci and Picasso once again.
And to think that I was predicting the 'death' of art - a result of the disinterest and rejection of art culture by our newer generations.
Strangely enough, it is the new generation which have created the latest fad craze over an app called 'Draw Something' - making it into a social media sensation.
Draw Something is a social drawing and guessing game and currently holds the places of #1 free app, #1 Paid App and #1 Word Game. It is the fastest growing app of all time.
Sorry little green piggies of Angry Birds, it seems that your 'true death' has finally arrived.
Draw Something functions on a player-to-player basis. Basically, anyone can start a game with anyone. Because the game is linked to Facebook, you can specifically play with people you have on your friends list.
One person will be given three words worth either 1, 2 and 3 coins - 1 being the easiest to draw and 3 being hardest. The person will pick one of these three to draw - and draw they will. When they're done playing Dali, they send the masterpiece off to the other player who will then have to guess what the drawing is. Rinse and repeat.
In all its simplicity, and perhaps because of its simplicity, the world has taken an absolutely massive interest in the game.
Perhaps it's in the nature of people to draw. After all, our earliest ancestors communicated primarily through drawings and paintings. And can you really blame anyone for wanting to release their inner artist and create absolutely...err...
bautiful things?
