It helps if you have a fuller picture of something

Nice photo slide show with commentary on photography

Think of your own slideshow.  What is around you that would make a good project thematically?  Faces at lunch?  People at games?  You are looking for the patterns of difference and sameness.  This variation helps give a fuller picture.

Creativity is Contagious

Listen and watch this

This is a crazy little sound portrait.  When do you get bored with it?  Are there other ways we could do this?  Specific school shots?  School sounds?  Creativity breeds other creativity.  Is there some way we can use this as inspiration?

Thoughts about seeing/drawing

Back to the basics here . . .

It is mesmerizing to watch someone with the ability to draw well.  In some ways it is like watching video or cartooning.  What is he saying about our ability to see?

Picture is by Romare Bearden entitled Three Folk Musicians (collage of painted and printed papers with paint).  1967.
