Notes Making is Connecting
Introduction
• Making is connecting because you have to connect things together (materials, ideas, or both) to make something new; • Making is connecting because acts of creativity usually involve, at some point, a social dimension and connect us with other people; • And making is connecting because through makingthings and sharing them in the world, we increase our engagement and connection with our social and physical environments.
Craft is a process that takes time, there is rarely a specific endgoal in sight. It is the process of discovery and having ideas through the process of making. It is about shaping the material to convey a message.
Sit back and be told vs. Making and doing.
Web 1.0 is your own space. (read) Web 2.0 is everyone their space like this Wiki. (read/write and thus connecting)
What is creativity?
- Change in a symbolic domain, creating new things.
- Requires an audience and a field of work.
- Creativity is an aspect of human beings even if it isn't recognised by one of the points mentioned above.
