    Add to Your Own Mix with Wikipedia’s List of Colors

    I love looking at color groupings, and can spend inordinate amounts of time fingering the paint samples in a building supplies store, or the rows of embroidery floss at a craft or sewing store. I took a number of classes with Gunnel Hag, a wonderful artist and gifted teacher, who employed color guides in her teaching (such as those by Ikuyoshi Shibukawa). By noting at the percentages listed beside each hue, shade, tint, or tone, you had a very clear guideline as to how to rec

    Sir Ken Robinson On Creativity

    Some time ago (2007) I watched Sir Ken Robinson on YouTube, talking about creativity, and was blown away by his presentation (it was taped at  TED). This man offers serious ideas, but with a charm and humor that makes them entertaining.  One of the stories he shared was that of a little girl drawing during an art exercise. When asked by the teacher to describe what it was, she replied “I am drawing a picture of  God.” “But no-one knows what God looks like,”  the teacher insis
