interesting link

From The Center For Urban Pedagogy:

"CUP makes educational projects about places and how they change.

Our projects bring together art and design professionals - artists, graphic designers, architects, urban planners - with community-based advocates and researchers - organizers, government officials, academics, service-providers and policymakers. These partners work with CUP staff to create projects ranging from high school curricula to educational exhibitions.

Our work grows from a belief that the power of imagination is central to the practice of democracy, and that the work of governing must engage the dreams and visions of citizens. CUP believes in the legibility of the world around us. What can we learn by investigation? By learning how to investigate, we train ourselves to change what we see."


Seemed like an interesting way to look at things.

wild

While googling "artblocks" just now to see if we have a listing yet, I came across this:

http://www.art-block.blogspot.com/

Pretty wild, huh? If Jung is right (as he nearly always is), his notion of the universal consciousness will become readily apparent, as suddenly "artblocks"--and everything related to the concept--starts appearing in all kinds of places and in all kinds of forms. 

Wild.

Hey Everyone!

Hey, 

Just checking to see if this works. 
I'll post my sketches and notes from today's meeting tomorrow. 
It would be awesome if you all could do the same so Deb can see what we're doing and give some feedback. 
If anyone has trouble joining, please let me know and I'll walk you through it. 

AWESOME!
