"Look out there, Django. Your father's display just happens to be right next to the Unpainted Desert. And that gives me an idea." — Phineas[src] |
The Unpainted Desert is a desert located near the Jefferson County Museum of Contemporary Art. It is exploited as a canvas by Phineas and Ferb to back up Django in sketching a masterpiece for his dad.
History[]
Phineas and Ferb are touring the county art museum with their family and Django, whose father has an entire section dedicated to monumentalist object recreations. Appreciating the exhibit, the boys point out a few eye-catching productions to their friend, who is soon notified of his parent's presence at the display for an interview. Greeting the star artist, the kid asks if he is able to join the group on the excursion, having him promise to catch up after the exclusive duties, in the interval of them witnessing another attraction.
Scoping a decorated mountain chain, the brothers praise Django on his hereditary talent, an attribute disputed by him because of the different breadths of crafts in between the generation. He showcases a simplistic patented drawing to demonstrate his belief, sparking Phineas and Ferb to modify that outlook through a painting amplification in the adjoining clean slate. Setting foot on the arid emptiness, the three proceed without delay to livelily color the expanse, eventually materializing a satisfying final result ready for signatures.
In the meantime, Candace searches for a distraction in the lobby, stumbling upon the observation balcony to a magnificent view. She seizes the chance to look at the scenery with the telescope, finding her siblings' names imprinted in the barren soil. Overjoyed by a seemingly easy bust, she dashes to grab her parents, all the while the kids race to get Django's father. Out of the blue, a barrage current splashes over the artwork, completely cleaning it before the adults can see the fruit of the momentuous scale labor ("Oil on Candace").
Design[]
The Unpainted Desert is a dry terrain chiefly recognized by its uniform landscape composed of immaculate sand dunes distributed in the form of a mountain range. Temporarily inserted on a rectangular spot is a distinct painting depicting father and son holding hands while standing in a grassy field during a bright and clean weather, employing a simplified technique with minimalistic features, a white spotlight outline, and the colors sky blue, yellow, green, orange, red, brown, blue, pink, black, and gray.
Activities[]
To paint the Unpainted Desert panorama, Phineas, Ferb, and Django make use of a series of stocked gigantic supplies covering paintbrushes, paint tubes, paint buckets, paint rollers, an aerosol spray dispenser, and a color palette. These are all carried by a big red utility cart, and applied combining miscellaneous apparel such as a red-black trampoline, a red hose, white gripping helicopters, a yellow crane, a gray water balloon sprinkler, and a brown four-wheeled levered catapult.
Background Information[]
- The Unpainted Desert's name and structure is probably an allusion to the Painted Desert in Arizona.
- Upon seeing Django's original drawing, Phineas and Ferb manifest their admiration for it, in spite of its regular size. This line of talk is what prompts them to upscale the idea for a grandiose showing.
- Django remembers about an old gallery done by his father once he hears of the boys' need for giant materials, guiding the two to the accurately designated Really Big Art Supplies in storage.
- In the start of the creative process, Ferb, Phineas, and Django respectively jump from the trampoline onto green, red, and blue paint tubes, alternating their positions whilst repeatedly spraying the canvas. The three colors are likely a nod to the RGB model used to display tints in digital screens.
- For the artistic expression, Ferb pumps up a spray for Phineas to shoot towards the field, which is subsequently painted by helicopter-transported rollers. Afterwards, the former controls a crane to switfly move a paintbrush along the slate with the latter, who then joins Django in launching pigment balloons for a clever splash. Finally, the kids appropriate the brushes as surfboards for the finishing touches.
- During the colorful montage, purple, blue, orange, and pink streaks are incorporated as continuous transitions uniting the scenes.
- The signatures of the trio are made out of three varying dyes, with top mark Django using blue, bottom left Phineas using red, and bottom right Ferb using purple.
- Before the painting is washed away, it is shown with different colorations, details, and background, additionally missing the sun on top.
- There should at least be smudges in the placement of the paint after it is doused, instead of the backdrop being fully dry.
- In the end, Django's father commends him for the heartfelt illustration, proudly sticking it on the giant fridge for posterity.
- Illustrating a continent, done in this caper, corresponds to the lyric and clip in the theme song.
- A recreation of one of the roller helicopters is used to repel Doofenshmirtz-2's invasion of the Tri-State Area (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- The Unpainted Desert appeared in the campground map of the Summer Vacation Summerizer as part of the interaction of the paintbrush item with Phineas, which resulted in an animation of him using it to color the desert.
