#2 "Experiments in Creativity" ~ To see the world in a grain of sand

"To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour." William Blake

This is one of my favorite quotes from Blake about seeing and about awakening to the magic of everything large and small in LIFE.
From our recent artist interview with Illustrated Blogger and Artist Michael Nobbs I learned about this amazing artist Keri Smith, who is one of Michaels inspirers. After researching her work, I think Lauren and I both agree that Kerri Smith is a relative (or artistic ancestor) of Art is Moving. Our visions seem to be akin as her work and ours is all about dialogue, interactivity, connection, and creativity.

While I engaged with her website, I saw this amazing project that she facilitated.~ the exercise involves photographing the cracks in the sidewalk you can find the complete experiment in her book called How to Be an Explorer of the World. I really love Keri's work and I think in particular this exercise is a great art example of the embodiment of Blake's quote.
With that in mind.
My inspiration for my Experiment in Creativity assignment is Perspective.
Here are steps:
1.Take at least three photos of small worlds or micro environments in your neighborhood and or your home
2. Ask two people who you know or not to identify them.
3. Post photos and responses on Art is Moving and any insights that personally might of been stirred up for you.
Please remember that we want as many folks to interact and engage with this series as possible. If you are moved to do this exercise please send us your completed assignment to artismoving@gmail.com and we will joyfully post it.

I look forward to seeing what you all and LAUREN come up with.-Lisa
