THE ART IN TECHNOLOGY

THE ART IN TECHNOLOGY

The other day I found myself sitting in the car with an ipod and a global positioning device on my lap.  I use my computer and my digital camera, a scanner and a thumb drive  for my art.  By the time I finally get to sit with pencil or paintbrush I have pretty much been through the technology mill.  How did this happen to me?  A little at a time I suppose.

No doubt all this has an affect on the finished product.  I can't help but wonder what the old masters would have created with the aid of technology.  Of course they didn't need it or did they?  The camera obscura really was the beginning of technology blending with art.  This whole thing has snowballed and the artist today can use these tools or not use them.  But it's so much fun to play with all the possibilities.  There is so much potential with the little devils.

ENTHUSIASM

ENTHUSIASM - From the Spirit

Some days I get up ready to create, to play my part in that unifying creative spirit of the universe.

Time is non-existent,  I move as though being directed from someplace much greater than myself.

What a joy to participate at this level.  The work is more like play.

What is different on these days?  How can I help myself get in that Zone?

It helps to have a workspace with the project or media setup and ready.  A dedicated area where the tools are waiting for my arrival.  To begin as though this is a priority, not a reward for having done everything else there is on my agenda.  Me first, at least some of the time.  Maybe I have to get up before sunrise to steal this time, but it's worth it, to let that enthusiasm percolate.

TIME TO CREATE

The holiday season is upon us and we start to feel that extra pressure.  Shop, create,celebrate.  So much to do, so little time, and this year , maybe a little less money.

It's especially difficult to get into the holiday spirit with all the extra demands.  This is where creativity and flexibility enter the picture.  Sure its great if you can find or afford the much desired toy or present. (Zou Zou Pets this year).  But if that's not possible,  creative experiences that bring families together can be even more valuable.
I remember as a child my father loved Christmas and bursted with enthusiasm.  One year he decided we would paint the house windows to decorate them.  I still remember the warm feelings and family togetherness.  This activity didn't cost very much and I still remember it warmly.

Sometimes simple is best.
