Random words to promote creative ideas
1. consult your dictionary and take out some random word and create a list
2. http://members.optusnet.com.au/charles57/Creative/Techniques/random_words.htm list of random words
3. just write down words that come to mind make sure you have at least 60 words
now that you have a list there are many ways to select you words remember they have to be very random so close your eyes and stab with a pencil at your word list and use the words you land on it is very important not to pick till you have words you like but to be able to use random words.
Now for a game.
1. obtain 4 random words
2. be imaginative and show how one of these words could absorb the other 3 words
example: 4 words are FORREST, SHADOW, MINISTER, ENVIRONMENT
In the woods the shadow of the minister lurks through the environment
Butt... think more make it interesting like
In a speech the minister talked about saving the environment starting with the Forrest's before it just becomes a shadow in our imaginations .
This is a fun game you can play with friends giving each player only 1 minute to generate a sentence if the player was not able to generate a sentence up to standard (standard is decided by the rest of the players) they have to have a drink. If not drinks give points the one with the least is the winner. HAVE FUN !!

what is ART !!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS ART?????
"ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been supposed as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it automatically observed as an artist. Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are look upon as modern terms."
ART lacks a suitable definition.” the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others"
The idea of an object being a "work of art" materialized, together with the idea of the Artist, in the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy.
BUT how did Art become distinguished from the decorative arts and crafts? How and why is an artist poles apart from a craftsperson? “In the Ancient World and Middle Ages the word we would translate as 'art' today was applied to any activity governed by rules. Painting and sculpture were included among a number of human activities, such as shoemaking and weaving, which today we would call crafts. “
ACCORDING to William Rubin, director of the
NON-artists, are no longer capable to say whether it is art or not. But at the same time, we are no longer comfortable with dismissing it as art because it fails to fit what we think art should be (whatever that is). We struggle with this because we have been taught that art is important and we're unwilling to face up to the recently revealed insight that art in fact has no "essence." When all is said and done, "art" remains significant to human beings and the idea that now anything can be art, and that no form of art is truer than any other, strikes me as intolerable.
