[Picture Added] Show us: What’s on your mind?
Greetings friends,
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
I agree! I think images are a rich and powerful tool for understanding and contributing to the world around us. As an artist myself, I’m intrigued by what could happen if each of us more freely exchanged the visual in community as a way to share, suggest, interact, and make sense of things.
The rest of my coworkers at SCOPE share my curiosity about images as a way to exchange and create in community. So, we invite you to send us an image that tells us:
~
As we move ahead in 2010, what image best expresses what is most on your mind?
~
I also believe that skills in communicating with images are more common among us (and within us) than we think. As Pablo Picasso said, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
So–no matter what you believe or have been told about your own “artistic” ability, let this be your permission to reclaim the title from your childhood! Your image can be a photo, a painting or drawing, a collage, a scribble. Use whatever angle most inspires you–personal, family, neighborhood, community, country, world. Include words if you think it needs an explanation.
How-to:
1. Send an original image (photo/drawing/painting/etc.) in .jpeg format to us via email at scope@scopexcel.org with “Photo for SCOPE Blog” in the subject line.
2. Look for your image to be posted on this blog within the week.
3. Invite your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, or the next person you meet to share as well!
We look forward to seeing what’s on your mind.
