Generalist / Specialist: proportion
The common Generalist vs Specialist aphorism is less often stated as: “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” See this link for how other cultures, speak rarely postively on such variation on: Process Style. Or, more fundamentally: Proportion.

The Nine Types of Intelligence
bloodisthenewblackk:
Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University proposed that there are several types of intelligence.
1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”) - Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our...

How many uses can you think of: for a paperclip?
If you have children or pesky teenagers, have gone to school in any form anytime, do calisthenics at the ivory tower, are a product or partcipant of schooling or finally propagate the cultural virus ofthe Educational Paradigm today somehow … Please, raise your hand. No, not that hand!! Let’s watch this: is it time to UNLEARN?

The passive motive.
Lights, Camera, Inaction.
What is so often not understood about Creativity is that it is necessary to embrace: pause, space, rest or inaction; in order to sink into a much deeper, wholistic therefore healthier process. Where being and doing exist in dynamic balance.
Considering our consummerist ethic being so hell bent on productivity and the amassing of wealth; to be: inactive, is seen under...

Wholeness process: convergent + divergent
.
I am becoming increasingly aware of the role of: creative process. It stems from my own awareness of just ‘how’ i do things; and my question of whether the way i do things is the right way for me. As a self reflective artist and teacher, i have always enjoyed the pleasure and freedom of improvisation, free form creation and actual experimentalism. As well, i am always aware of the...

The following piece, part of a collaboration with Graffitti artist Take5 got me thinking about the past and the overarching body of work. Before going to Emily Carr i used to be a graffitti artist, more than anything of the “mural” variety. A flash from the past. http://replek.tumblr.com/

Tinfoil Halo: by Igor Santizo 1999
.
So currently i have been having some thoughts about the past. Specifically how art is perceived, how it ages and is held within a personal Mythos. So below, you will see a smattering of various works that i have done previously.
No major idea for selection, just some pieces that jump out as i look through my digital archives. Don’t get me started on physical archives…

rumination: art, self-view and the Whole
.
On many occasions with creative colleagues, i have heard both myself and others bemoan and somewhat apologize for earlier work. Older work is too often undervalued, even attacked: as less, embarrassing, hidden, not up to date, not the latest; that is basically as: not good enough.
As a starting point, I really wonder about this judgement … So i am looking more for discernment and...

Feedback types:
Today i was doing some thrifting with a friend. At one point she asked me what i thought of some item, and we had a casual conversation about fashion, opinions and taste, etc…
I like following thoughts like “wormholes” into other thoughts and intelligent sidewalk philosophical issues. Thinking now as the day quietly wraps up, i am thinking about: feedback. Of the social variety,...

Learning by parts / whole learning
“If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.” _Mark Twain
.
Where IS what is to be learned? Today I was at school teaching, that tends to happen apparently in such places. With conventional fashion, we learn in schools and we worship in temples. So in class today, like I often do, spoke about: lifelong learning. I usually speak about this in terms...
