"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn"
Alvin Toffler
I think I am getting all the "assignments" muddled up and mixed up.. but I am learning that it doesn't really matter, that sticking with it and doing the challenge is what actually is important. For the "learning something new" prompt I was quite literal and took off to Walsall Art Gallery and then spend some time online finding a course I would like to do in the new year. So, here is what i learned:
- A sheep suspended in formaldehyde is ART.
- Pieces of wood, string, tin cans and other random items glued together, with a provocative sign slapped on the front is also called ART.
- Security Guards at Art Galleries are very nice people.
- There is a new exhibition coming by an artist called Ged Quinn that looks very interesting and worth a look at.
- I can learn a lot by just sitting and listening.
- There are literally millions of courses available and opportunities to learn are endless.
- Education does not mean the same as learning.
