  Education

  response to  Anne Trubek's post Stop Teaching Handwriting

  Do Your Kids A Favor

  Weather you realize it or not, if you don't go the extra mile to teach your kids to write well when they grow up to college level and they can't take a single readable note in class or can't inscribe a single love card for Valentine's they wil hate you for not encouraging them to write better. Regardless of the college level education they complete, when they are in public and asked to write a single line and they scribble like six years olds, everyone will look at them as if they are illiterate. So do your kids a favor and teach them. School is not always easy but that's why they are in school- so that among all else they can learn how to cope with challenge and overcome the difficulty. If a kid thinks he/she can't write because the teacher told them they scribble then the parents of the kid need to teach him/her how to deal with difficulties in life without loosing self confidence. You can't grow a strong kid if you tell them that the way to deal with difficulty is to run away form it. What if your kids have difficulty to add and subtract, will you encourage them to abandon maths because there are calculators? Just for the record, handwriting analysis is being used by the FBI and is just as good as a finger print, good or bad handwriting, doesn't matter it is still a person's unique motion set in ink and it does reflect one's personality.

  Duplication

  I have a liberal and eccentric understanding of art, but also specific limitations on certain nuances of it. For instance "paysage" or "portrait".I really don't perceive as an art work the paintings or photographs of natural scenery or portraits. It's like duplicating the art work of nature.

  Here is a link to an interesting art which somewhat relates to the topic. It's quite unusial.

  response to  GOOD magazine and Ilkka Halso's post Museum of Nature

  About "Museum" and "Kitka River"

  These visual statements are both futuristic and actual. I love the striking quietude of these visual expressions!Great work!

  Question:
  What is the story behind the name "Kitka River"? Is there a hidden meaning of the name related to the visual statement?
