The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods. My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry.

Schools and Creativity: Sir Ken Robinson

-
WE NEED A SENSE OF BALANCE Why is creativity taken out of productivity? Why is innovation taken out of teaching? Why are schools not helping students to make meaning of their skills? If public education is to provide only the 3 Rs - to enable a functioning society - is education providing a hand-break on society? ' Education systems too narrow' : Sir Ken Robinson: ABC 7:30 report video interview Dot Points Sir Ken Robinson: * a number of famous people whose traditional education failed to help them identify their real talents before they went on to brilliant careers. * our education systems at the moment are still very focused on a certain type of ability, and the result is very many brilliant people are marginalised by the whole process *a talented and a passion - well that's to say you never work again.
