Commercials!

So I'm supposed to be starting this art blog. I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be talking about... but I'll figure it out along the way. And try to figure out how to make this blog, in and of itself, an art piece. 

First thing that came to mind when we started talking about art and youtube and videos and whatnot is something I believe that was mentioned in class. Mixing old with new. Like setting an old old movie to modern music, or vice versa. Immediately the first thing that popped into my head was this commercial. A tide commercial with Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy" playing in the background. 

The song reminds me of cartoons and Christmas, and I never really associated it with anything besides Charlie Brown. I also associated it with being older. So when they put the music to this new Tide commercial I was taken aback. Not to mention the kid in the commercial is incredibly cute... It was interesting and it definitely caught my attention.

Interesting how that works. It did to me exactly what the makers wanted it to.
