The most elemental of our expression. Our body

The first art must have been dance or music. Dance is the art the builds community on the most local temporal level. It is the soul of us. It is the vigor and force of our emotion expressed most directly. It is the tool less art. But can Dance exist without a music to dance to?

The first music must have been drum beats and the sounds of our voice. They are the most elemental of our things. But can we dance without our voices creating beats or sounds. Did we as humans ever dance in silence? Or does a Chant not count as music.

To get up and move. Painting documents these movements. it seeks to contain these emotional expressions of our body.

When I paint. I must dance.
