So a few weeks ago, I went to Disneyland, as is my habit. Late at night, we went on the new Little Mermaid ride, and this beautiful picture is at the entry of the ride. One of my friend's immediate response to this was "Holy crap, Ariel's Jesus." I thought it was very interesting, to see how there are strong connotations dealing with light in every day life. As in, you may think you are lighting a painting artfully, but the chosen method for directing focus onto the face of a princess has a strong resemblance of Medieval representations of Jesus Christ.In any case, it's light being used to direct the eye and enhance art, which I think is pretty neat.
