ARTICLES of INTEREST March 5, 2021 QUOTE(S) ARTICLES OF INTEREST March 5, 2021 QUOTE(S) OF THE WEEK “All over the world people are trying to figure out how to come to terms with the pandemic and what comes next. The question really is what type of normal do we want to get back to? We’ve pressed pause on many of our social systems. It’s time to press reset on them as well.” – Sir Ken Robinson “Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry “Science cannot be stopped. Man will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences — and we cannot predict what they will be. Science will go on — whether we are pessimistic, or are optimistic, as I am. I know that great, interesting, and valuable discoveries can be made and will be made… But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe — and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.” – Linus Pauling “Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in art, in music, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.” – John Steinbeck “The problem is not making up the steps, but deciding which ones to keep.” – Mikhail Baryshnikov “You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.” – Alexander Graham Bell “In mathematics the art of asking questions is more valuable than solving problems.” – Georg Cantor “Over the years, I’ve learned skills that aren’t usually associated with being a scientist. From learning to drive a jet boat in a fast-flowing glacial river, to getting a 1-ton truck unstuck from very buggy wetland, to slinging gear in a helicopter and flying a drone. Knowing what to do when you spot a grizzly or polar bear on the horizon, see a lightning storm sweep over the tundra toward you. ... Every challenge builds confidence.“ – Isla Myers-Smith “Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough — that we should try again. No. We should not. Focused on process, our creative life retains a sense of adventure. Focused on product, the same creative life can feel foolish or barren.” – Julia Cameron “The most dangerous phrase in the language is, "We've always done it this way." – Grace Hopper VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Imagine if… a celebration of the life and legacy of Sir Ken Robinson Sir Ken Robinson Brene Brown Design Matters with Debbie Millman | TED Talks Dolly Parton on the importance of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 PBS Newshour Banksy Creates Bob Ross-Dubbed Process Video of New Work Depicting Oscar Wilde Escaping Prison Colossal Watch a Deep Dive with Ocean Explorer David Gallo The Science and Entertainment Exchange Divergent | Chris Mosier CreativeMornings | Chicago Animated Shorts Celebrate Work Of Three Texas A&M Arts & Humanities Fellows Texas A&M Today FEATURED EVENTS/OPPORTUNITIES Viewfinder: Women’s Film and Video from the Smithsonian Because of HER Story | Smithsonian Monthly Series | First Thursday of the Month NEW Patrick Kabanda | The Creative Wealth of Nations: can the arts advance development?

(And Madison, too.) Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Radio- TV-Film department at the University of Texas. In particular, I would like to thank Joesph Strabhaar for taking me under his wing during my first semester in 2002. With his help, I received a teaching assistant position as a first-year Masters student and, for me, that sealed the deal. That semester, I fell in love with teaching and have never looked back. (Thanks Joe!) Also, Michael Kackman courted me to work on Flow (both the on- line media studies journal and the inaugural conference) for several months before I finally agreed. His passion and persistence won me over, and I am so grateful for the experience. Flow opened up a world of opportunities for me, and I have Michael (along with co-founders Avi Santo and Chris Lucas) to thank for it.

We successfully completed our Fall semester, which saw all of Odyssey’s classes delivered via Zoom. We will continue online this Spring, as the University is forced to prolong the lockdown of the Homewood campus. We are somehow getting used to it – for the most part. I say that because, in spite of some healthy numbers in several classes, our overall enrollment for the semester was down just under 50%. That’s about 500 students, who, for one reason or another have decided to wait it out for better days. Our answer to that is to do what we do best, and that is to provide excellent courses, in order to make your time and money worthwhile. And for the first time, we are offering special reduced prices on our more expensive courses, including our language courses, in hopes that we may all travel again soon! Here is some of what’s in store for our Spring semester: On the Odyssey cover, Pete Kakel presents his perspective on The Destruction of Indigenous Peoples in North America, a subject of which he is indeed an expert.

  • THE ARTIST's WAY Inspiratiebrief Week 1 Nr 1 Julia Cameron
    THE ARTIST'S WAY inspiratiebrief week 1 nr 1 Julia Cameron biografie Cameron werd op 4 maart 1948 geboren in een buitenwijk van Chicago. Ze studeerde journalistiek aan de Georgetown University (Washington DC), later aan Fordham (New York). Ze werkte eerst voor de Washington Post, later voor Rolling Stone. Ze ontmoette haar latere echtgenoot Martin Scorsese toen ze hem interviwde voor Rolling Stone. Ze kregen samen een dochter, Domenica, die vaak figureert in haar boeken. Het filmwereldje was niet goed voor Cameron: ze raakte verslaafd aan drank en drugs en leed aan psychoses. In 1978 stopte ze radicaal, en begon aan wat zou uitmonden in haar beroemdste boek: het lesgeven in het deblokkeren van creativiteit. Cameron ziet creativiteit als de meest authentieke spirituele weg. Cameron heeft gewoond in Los Angeles, Chicago, Taos, Washington DC en woont nu in New York. Ze geeft cursussen in creativiteit, filmmaken en schrijven. Zelf schrijft ze – behalve haar boeken over creativiteit – romans, filmscenario's en musicals. Haar biografie is verschenen onder de titel Floor Sample. Julia Cameron bibliografie Al Camerons boeken staan op haar website. Ik heb er een heleboel gelezen, maar er zijn drie die er wat mij betreft uitspringen: The Artist's Way (duh!), The Vein of Gold en The Right to Write. Dit laatste was mijn eerste Cameronboek, en niets minder dan een openbaring. Het is ook vertaald, en als schrijven jouw kunstvorm is, raad ik het van harte aan. The Right to Write Op een trip door het noorden van Schotland bereiken we Findhorn. Een idealistische hippie-commune aan het eind van de wereld.
