	SLS · Colloquia · The Irresistible Beauty of All Things
		The daughter of the imagination – the logical and legitimate daughter – is the metaphor, which is sometimes born from a sudden stroke of intuition and sometimes brought to light by the slow anguish of forethought.
		Imagination assaults the theme furiously from all sides, but inspiration receives it suddenly and wraps it in subtle, pulsing light, like those huge carnivorous flowers that envelop the trembling bee and dissolve it in the acrid juice exuded by its merciless petals.
		Imagination is intelligent, orderly, full of equilibrium, but inspiration is sometimes incongruent – it does not recognize man, and often it places a livid worm in the clear eyes of our muse.

		Imagination is generally considered to be a foundation of artistic expression, and, within limits, to be a healthy, creative, higher mental function.
		Among the imitative types of imagination is eidetic imagery, which consists of rich and vividly recalled images and is especially characteristic of children up to the age of six.
		Creative imagination is the basis for achievements in the realms of both art and science, and students of behavior have analyzed the creative process in hopes of being able to encourage greater creativity through various types of training.

	The Society for Arts
		Art seemed to me such a natural act of existence as everything else to be found between birth and death.
		Thanks to reflective thinking and our imagination we can see further "beyond the small part" like a Chinese painter of old seeing a tree in a twig, a mountain in a piece of rock, a demon in a sign and death in the pale.
		It might have also been the fault of my imagination which is of illustrative character, or perhaps the influence of medieval anonymous painters.

	Introduction
		"This world of imagination is the world of eternity; it is the divine bosom into which we shall go after the death of the vegetated body.
		This world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation, or vegetation, is finite and temporal.
		His art and dedication to the cause of art is an inspiration to all those working in this vein.

	The Future of Civil Society
		Civil society is the Internet that self-governing citizens construct for themselves over time, sometimes tacitly and unself-consciously, at times with full explicit purpose and deliberate voluntary choice.
		In other words, civil society was a euphemism for informal power parallel to, undergirding, and sometimes actually directing, the exercise of an often weaker state power.
		Thus, we must be careful to point out that what we mean by civil society today is not the civil society of the old Habsburg era, the civil society of the ancien regime, but a civil society conceived of after the American model.

	Hamilton College - Academics - Art
		A society's artists may be its historians, its philosophers, its priests and confessors, its outlaws, or its visionaries.
		Art may document the artist's world, it may imagine the past or future, or it may express an inner landscape that cannot otherwise be shared.
		Art majors have gone on after graduation to become not only working artists and sculptors, but attorneys, architects, designers, filmmakers, educators at levels from elementary school to college -- and one went on to become an All-Star NHL goalie.

	Archived: Summary Statement: Education Reform, Standards, and the Arts.
		That is why, in any civilization--ours included--the arts are inseparable from the very meaning of the term "education." We know from long experience that no one can claim to be truly educated who lacks basic knowledge and skills in the arts.
		The arts are used to achieve a multitude of human purposes: to present issues and ideas, to teach or persuade, to entertain, to decorate or please.
		Our personal, social, economic, and cultural environments are shaped by the arts at every turn--from the design of the child's breakfast placemat, to the songs on the commuter's car radio, to the family's night-time TV drama, to the teenager's Saturday dance, to the enduring influences of the classics.

	The Art of Computer Art
		Art, on the other hand, is not concerned with either exact information or any such notions as the real thing.
		I imagine that few artists would consider being in touch with any particular reality, other than their own, as being of much value to their work or life.
		Computer art culture must come to recognise this, and accept as their own values the values of artists, if they are to produce the art they seek.

	The Art of Emergence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In this sense we claim to the artist a role of "researcher" for the hypothesis generation and idea germination and we look to the complexity theory as a new important topic to enlarge the area of interference between art and science [2,3,4,5].
		The central objective of the artwork is to build an artificial society which is a metaphor of the world of the communication webs and the mechanisms of formation of "collective messages" and the new aesthetics.
		We would explore with the imagination the transfer of these concepts to the mind scale starting from the idea that the individual context is the emerging own configuration of psychic fragments.

	Intellectual Pursuit
		Art, from the time of the ancients, used all of man's abilities - his intelligence, his manual dexterity as well as his imagination and emotional expression.
		It is time for art to unveil its long held illusion of artists being mysteriously inspired to create and reclaim it's rightful place as the intellectual pursuit that it has been from the time of the ancients.
		As they walk through the museums viewing the art of the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's, most of the art disappoints the viewer because this art becomes outdated and old, and yet, the masters of other centuries still can hold their attention, their respect and their awe.

	Nadine Gordimer and the South African Experience
		Nadine Gordimer, born in 1923 and, in Seamus Heaney's words, one of "the guerrillas of the imagination," became the first South African and the seventh woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991.
		For Gordimer, the novel and the short story are instruments to penetrate a society that defends itself against scrutiny, hides in censorship and hypocrisy, refuses to recognise its history, and thus produces a grammar of lies where capitalism, liberalism, and Marxism mean the same thing: an onslaught on the volk.
		Only in the prescient dimension of the imagination could I bring together what had been deliberately broken and fragmented; fit together the shapes of living experience, my own and that of others, without which a whole consciousness is not attainable.

	The Art of Massage : The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage, Austin, Texas
		Most striking and so important to honor here is that, left to articulate their deepest imaginings, people will consistently ask for inspiring, spiritually nourishing experiences.
		And it is unique, in that, unlike most art and religion, it is not bound by the cultural and linguistic habits of centuries, our touch is not filtered through the concept-laden mind.
		To this fascinating question, to this precious legacy, to the highest development of this incredible in-the-flesh art form, this article is dedicated.

	[No title]
		Art experiences that are open-ended, called process oriented art (no end product that must look like the example), encourage experimentation, exploration and imagination.
		Setting up an art environment that encourages experimentation, exploration and imagination is one in which children have fun, experiment, use their hands, are interested, creative and can freely express themselves.
		The art of a 4-6 year old begins to take on meaning, what he does stands for feelings and ideas, but may not be recognizable to adults.

	RW ONLINE:Art and Revolutionary Imagination
		But there is proletarian art in terms of content: it is art which, through many different forms, reflects--as art--the outlook and interests of the proletariat, and in that way contributes to the realization of its revolutionary goal.
		Art not only influences politics tremendously but there is also a sharp struggle in the realm of art over what will be produced, what will be supported, and there are many different ways that the bourgeoisie, the ruling class, has of controlling art.
		While much of art requires "the suspension of disbelief"--the willingness to accept that things which do not actually exist and are not actually happening are existing and happening--it requires this only in a limited and relative sense, only in relation to the work of art itself.

	"The Art of Fiction" by Henry James
		The successful application of any art is a delightful spectacle, but the theory, too, is interesting; and though there is a great deal of the latter without the former, I suspect there has never been a genuine success that has not had a latent core of conviction.
		Art derives a considerable part of its beneficial exercise from flying in the face of presumptions, and some of the most interesting experiments of which it is capable are hidden in the bosom of common things.
		One perceives, in that case-by the light of a heavenly ray-that the province of art is all life, all feeling, all observation, all vision.

	The Artists' Statement
		The prestige of Art must be restored, Art must be recognized as an important part of human life and needs to relate widely to people.

		Fantasy has been an integral part of art since its beginnings, but has been particularly important in mannerism, romantic art, symbolism and surrealism.
		fantastic art celebrates fantasy, imagination, dreamworlds, the grotesque, visions and other-worldliness.
		Fantastic art should not be confused with fantasy art, which is the domain of science-fiction and fantasy illustrators such as Boris Vallejo and others.

	surrealism - Anarchopedia
		Surrealism is a movement for the liberation of the mind that emphasizes the critical and imaginative powers of the unconscious.
		As anarchism has traditionally emphasized the liberation of the imagination and subjectivity from the constraints of the present social order, many anarchists are attracted to the work of the surrealists, even though few surrealists advocate anarchism.
		Surrealism is both an artistic and political movement aimed at the liberation of the human being from the constraints of capitalism, the state, and the cultural forces that limit the reign of the imagination.

	Crossroads Online \| The Frost Medal Lecture
		I take Guest's aversion to the lyric to mean that her work is not an extension of herself—herself expressed—that is, not a direct expression of her feelings or subjectivity, but rather is defined by the textual composition of an aesthetic space—herself (itself) defined.
		If the imagination is indulged too freely, it may run wild and destroy or be destructive to the artist.
		it is because in all the arts the practitioner, the poet, the artist, even the musician with a new set of rules maintains a balancing act between reality or rules, and the imagination.

	THE ART OF ASSOCIATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		That remedy is "the art of association." Tocqueville maintained that Americans have a special aptitude for this art.
		Too little attention has been paid to the fact that Tocqueville conceived of associating as an "art," a "technique," a "faculty and habit." Accordingly, in order for associational life to improve democratic citizens, democratic citizens must bring to the creation and the maintenance of their associations certain dispositions and skills.
		In America, Tocqueville argued, it was in a certain kind of family, and through the discipline of a specific set of religious beliefs and practices, that the formation of character crucial to political and civic association occurred.

		However, the majority of Western people are simply stuck in a social hierarchy, a power pyramid whereby the next step literally takes over their lives: The competitive aspect of capitalist society is what drives many people to get up in the morning.
		When concepts of 'values' are themselves a result of a critique of western society, we are left with very little firm ground on which to stand.

	Discovering the One and Only You
		The acceptance and celebration of human differences is not frosting on the storytelling cake, but essential to the art of storytelling and the growth of the storytelling movement.
		As inheritors of our society's propensity for equating difference with better-or-worse, we tend to assume that such people are at fault, inferior, or not trying hard enough.
		They protest their classification, or resent the implication that their art is not as valuable as that of traditional tellers.
