12 story woman "En la Ciudad" by Mezcal Cedron using a Wonderlane photograph of Seattle


En la ciudad by ~jiiiiiij on deviantART

Click again on the second image at deviantart to see it large size. Mezcal did a lovely job on the coloration and light I think. Pretty believable 12 story tall woman.

A Work In Progress

DSC_1920There is no such thing as 'underpar work' in school. There is just work in progress. When is anything really done? When we drop it or "finish" it and go on to something else.

For example Picasso said he never finished a work - when he did - it was dead. He always found a place to stop which perhaps nothing could be added or removed but he believed his work was always in progress, as a practicing fine artist.

In a student as weaknesses are identified one should educate and bring up to the standard, but one should not just rate the work 'underpar' - its an emotional chokehold, from a judgemental framework. Modern individuals, students and teachers, working with each other have innovated beyond it.

When working together or participating together with other people you don't turn to another person and say "This is underpar work" you work on it together until it is improved. Where did academia get the punitive idea that that was ok, and a standard to uphold?

It's an underpar way to communicate effectively, and it needs to change in my view of what educators may offer, working interactively with students to deliver motivation, and information.

Ingmar Bergman

Watching the shiney lacquered jitterbug pixels Ingmar Bergman interviewed by Dick Cavett watching "Wild Strawberries" close up discussing the whiskey loving actor Victor on the Island. "You see your pants?"

His light use of English, Cavett sputters questions - "did you learn anything from totally protecting the actors? a special emotion?" - by cutting it off, we did not try it, not created out of pressure, it just came.

We are back with BiBi Anderson. The sense of the artist, just a sense.

After the Seventh Seal Ingmar ended his chess game with Death and guess who won? Bill and Ted played Death and won at Battleship, Clue, Electric Football and Twister.

Perhaps there was silence in heaven.
