In Reply to: universal language posted by Hillary Owens-Hamlin on February 02, 1999 at 13:34:26:

As I was reading your post one thought came to my mind. Language uses symbols that express a certain idea or feeling or object. These symbols can be the words themselves, sounds, pictures, body language, etc. If painting was a way to communicate in the stone ages, then could it possibly have evolved into less complexed images, which then were more like symbols and eventually became letters and then finally were put together to form words? Hieroglyphics come to my mind. The Egyptians used simple picture paintings to write.

Just a thought. I like the idea of painting being a universal language. Gotta go.
