• [opinion] The Role of Art and Culture – Part 1

  

  What is the difference between situation A and situation B? We are seeing two different depictions of two interactions. One is that of a consumer receiving (education, enlightenment, entertainment); the other is that of a consumer giving or responding (complaints, compliments). These pictures also depict the difference between two types of cultural productions: one in…

• [posting][university essay]Digitizing Nature: Negotiating and Mobilizing the Virtual

  

  Meet Hydria, my virtual succulent garden in a pot which is looking rather dry. I would like to think that if Hydria were located on my smartphone and not on my tablet, I would care for her better. The truth is that my forgetfulness has killed more than one plant before, and Hydria may be…

• “All of us are engaged daily with works of art, even if we are neither professionals nor amateur artists. We read books, we listen to music, we look at posters, we admire flower arrangements. Art, as I am using the word, does not include just “high art”, that is, painting, sculpture, poetry, classical music, but also the more popular expressions – the novel, the theatre, the cinema, popular music and rock. In fact, there is a very real sense in which the Christian life itself should be our greatest work of art. Even for the great artist, the most crucial work of art is his life.”

  –Art and the Bible, Francis Schaeffer, 49.

• [posting][review] Top Five Intellectual Anime Shows

  

  One of the common misconceptions about anime is that it is a strange and goofy genre designed for middle school students, but while that is true about quite a few that have had massive impact in Western culture (I’m looking at you, One Piece and Naruto), quite a few anime have been created specifically for…

• [art][ink and marker] Mandala-ish #2

  

  Before every art therapy lecture, our art therapy professor/instructor gave us 15 minutes to “de-stress” and relax by drawing mandalas, pictures, or art. We were told that these pieces of art would, later in the semester, be interpreted/critiqued by us in terms of art therapy – what they could possibly mean and what part this…

  The Role of Amplification and Active Imagination within Emily Carr’s Works “The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry Of bugles going by. And my lonely spirit thrills To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills.” The second verse of Bliss Carman’s poem “A Vagabond’s Song” has always struck…
