If only this technology ever caught on! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision

So, I suggested an art therapy technique for "aromatheraputic painting," which is both a valid emotional wellbeing technique and a valid artistic technique.

I mean, when you consider this little kid's finger painting class which is instructing on "Pastel Nagomi art" and then imagine the double bonus when the pastel paints come with beautiful scents like lavender, vanilla, lemon, eucalyptus, tea tree, all that stuff. And this is why I would rather be in Australia, because this class, while being listed as meant for kids, is also listed as being available every week on Saturday for quite some time.

That is in constrat to what I frequently find in Canada with Google search, which is basically that some art class is listed online, but it turns out that the "deadline for registration" listed on the page has already passed like, a year ago, and they didn't even bother removing the page or adding a "this event has already passed" disclaimer! Can you believe it! It is unbelievable! Help! https://wellbeing.ubc.ca/experience-healing-art-pastel-nagomi

And I e-mailed people in and from Australia while "back in my own country" and I found they have a higher response rate. I think I'll e-mail some Australians living in Japan just pretty soon after I finish typing this.

But Japanese people, I found, they may have a fairly low rate to respond to written messages, but I found it's just easier to talk casually with them about basically anything! Even vulgar topics!

So anyways, cartoons and comics even in Canada have a lot of appeal to college students between the ages of 18-30. And J.J. McCullough is a cartoonist who is an adult, but more on him later, but I try to find some comic book style art classes for college-aged adults outside of an actual college, but the age available for cartooning and comics goes up to age 17 or so!

But there is art lessons for adults. A particularly common and frequently available one is "life drawing", which is where you're forced to stare at and closely examine a buck naked person's bodily features in some attempt to learn "accurate anatomy" even though all you're doing is creating drawings and paintings, which is inherently fictional and not true to life unless you're documenting an actual historical event or something! Because it doesn't even matter if your little pencil drawing manages to look like it was captured with a camera, it's NOT a photograph! It never happened, whatever your pencil drawing you spent months on depicts! I would not go into a drawing class in order to learn how to operate a camera and snap the best photos!

And there's also painting classes and fine art classes, but I don't like to hear about other people's political views and I'm not going to start rambling on about my views, but I give up when this bloke starts talking about going to the doctor as being a "cultural icon," ugh! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB5E0bZad4I

How would people from basically any other country feel if their healthcare system was described as a "cultural icon?!" "Oh, take a look at Shunji Haruta of Satsuma Pharmaceuticals fame, he is a CULTURAL ICON!" Give me a break!

And I was oblivious to the fact that Canada had such a large Ukrainian population and appearently some severely endangered dialects of the Ukrainian language until after the whole fiasco about a war happening in some obscure corner of Eastern Europe, which made me interested in a "Canadian Ukrainian dialect restoration fund," but maybe it's not worth it, it is said that all societies collapse sooner or later, and apparently he has such a vested interested in this part of Canadian history and culture that he would dedicate a whole video about a "Nazi in parliment" that then promotes tourism to the island nation of Montserrat. You know, maybe I'll set up shop there! (Joke.) But I could have inquired to him about drawing lessons, but I was turned off by his politics, and that's an easy way to strain a friendship by yelling about politics, isn't it. Except J.J. McCullough is not supposed to be one of my friends because we never met before, he is just someone who can act on purely business terms by offering drawing lessons, and people scream about politics in America all the time and it seems easier to make friends there, so whatever. And just because an autobiographic film about Donald Trump depicts him raping a woman does not mean he would lose the election because the United States Constitution allows for the portrayal of real people in fictional situations and a scene from a staged and coreographed movie is not admissible evidence in court. It's just like drawing, it may be a photograph, but it depicts adults engaging in make believe play just like how little toddlers do and being real good at it.

But I think people don't realize culture is not something that magically grows on trees but is something invented by humans. Mexico has a lot of stuff invented by humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Mexican_handcrafted_toys And this page has a lot of culture.

But these non-realistic drawing lessons are available for adults if you pay less than 500 dollars, still fairly expensive for a beginner session, but at least it's more what I would have wanted.

Even if you're doing erotic artworks, even knowing hyper-realistic anatomy is not necessary when you consider that there are many works of art depicting characters who are obviously not humans with skin, but fantasy creatures in such situations! You can't go into a life drawing session and learn about the anatomy of a fantasy creature character, and I don't think it's even worth it to try to train hundreds of animals such as dogs, cats and pigs to stay still for life drawing classes.

The only reason why life drawing classes would be absolutely indespensible for an art career is if you would be doing medical work. And then it would be required to learn in excruciating detail about the anatomy of adolescents with "secondary characteristics" or whatever, prepubescent children and the youngest babies, and you would have to learn about conditions involving exceretory organs such as hemorrhoids, it is simply out of moral obligation that you cannot limit yourself to studying the anatomy of people who are old enough to be legally engaged in "client services," if you catch my drift, because sometimes YOU COULD END UP SAVING SOME KID'S LIFE!

I'm sure it's great that you can accurately draw the shapes of your favourite legal age hookers for your OnlyFans career, but do you know why I use the word "shapes?" Because drawing is about representing 3D or 2D shapes on a flat surface! You can't hope to have a sucessful career learning about exotic plants at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden to inspire you to invent new plant species for your worldbuilding project if you take "life drawing classes!"

There is a naked human in every human, and then there is THE WHOLE WORLD! Do you know what a dedicated storyteller would rather choose for his visual art projects if they could only choose one?

But I went on, I suggested to someone at a store I will respectfully decline from revealing the name of that using scented paints would be a good form of art therapy because the sense of smell is said to convey the most intense emotion and even if the viewer could not smell the finished product, the fact that the paints were scented would obviously have an influence on the artist's choices because said artist would be under the influence of the smell, and it could have quite an interesting effect on the final product.

There could be a gallery that compares the differences in art style between:
Brightly colored paints that are not scented like the aforementioned Pastel Nagomi art.
The same brightly colored paints but with pleasant smells.
The same brightly colored paints but with unpleasant smells.

As well as:
Dimly colored paints such as this example, but with intense smells that don't affect the color. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUTvPEBO63c
Normal scented dimly colored paints, obviously!
Paint of any color that is made using harsh synthetic toxic chemicals such as spray paint that can be applied in a rush! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv8kNTH-KDY

Spray painting and other speed painting techniques might be useful for quick animation on a limited budget if the animators are skilled enough. And reusing assests is a big part of low-budget animation and filmmaking, isn't it!?

So my ideas for reusable animation assests are:
1: A special type of ink that is intended for photography only and is not meant to be kept to be put into a museum display. Unless you're foregoing recording devices such as DVDs or hard drive downloads from Netflix entirely, then never mind, have permanent ink for your flipbook animations!
2: Miniature sets for photography, but is painted like one of those viral anime figure repaintings! So you don't have to bother repainting backgrounds all the time, just snap a frickin' photo and be done with it, no one could tell the difference! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiDO8gKdAOw
3: A "camera obscura" that can project your miniature backgrounds if a simple photo wouldn't work, I'll also mention the flipbook later.
4: Special coatings like Rust-Oleum Clear Dry Erase or Rust-Oleum Magnetic Primer to attach magnets if the need arises.
5: Clear and thin "animation cels" which is directly painted on using the photo-only ink, and as a bonus, instead of being wiped off, a special vacuum sucker thing could be used to erase the paint into the sucker to reapply again so animation studios don't have to buy more paint as often. The ink is applied, photographed, and is partially erased or adjusted if the paint could is magnetic and could have magnetic manipulation applied using special magnet ink animation tools that moves the ink around or something. And the animation cels don't even have to be all clear, they could be toned animation cels for different lighting effects.

So, flipbooks are so inefficent as a medium for showing a two hour movie, you would have to get a big flipbook. Unless... unless... you use a roll of film made from manga paper. And use a camera obscura projector to project it on a screen.

Oh, and clockwork is actually useful for prolonged one-note applications such as fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DudAEiP6lKU So it makes you wonder why clockwork just seems to be something for frivoulous kid's toys and not heavy duty industrial applications.

You could use manga paper rolls and a camera obscura to... you know... show you a "manga animation" without any electricity used whatsoever if you just have a clockwork-based windup application.

You could potentiallyy also use something like record grooves to produce sound as well, but that might be a bit more expensive, and people reading manga on the subway don't expect their manga characters to just suddenly start talking out loud and disturbing other passengers.

So, silent manga movies! Either in color or in black and white! And you could learn a lot from old silent movies! https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=visual+language+of+silent+films

And manga movies could be quite environmentally friendly if you use all-natural materials!

So, since deaf people are more visually oriented people if they have good vision, I was thinking they might make for some unique artists. They might "see" things hearing people don't. And, these silent manga films or whatever could allow deaf people to make movies aimed towards the majority hearing population.

Hey, I would be better able to communicate with blind people who can't draw unless they use a special camera I just thought of in my forehead like Tommy Edison, but I could learn some art skills if I waa allowed to meet deaf people. I mean, it's already a challenge to speak with hearing Japanese people and have to rely on gestures and writing things down on paper or typing on smartphones with translation apps, so maybe I would just have a very similar experience with deaf Japanese except they might actually be better able to relate to my experiences with trying to communicate with the majority population.
