Creativity and Cultural Improvisation (ASA Monographs) Elizabeth Hallam |
There is no prepared script for social and cultural life. People work it out as they go along. Creativity and Cultural Improvisation casts fresh, anthropological eyes on the cultural sites of creativity that form part of our social matrix. The book explores the ways creative agency is attributed in the graphic and performing arts and in intellectual property law. It shows how the sources of creativity are embedded in social, political and religious institutions, examines the relation between creativity and the perception and passage of time, and reviews the creativity and improvisational quality of anthropological scholarship itself. Individual essays examine how the concept of creativity has changed in history .

Product Review
I was having coffee with Barb and looking at her great paintings when I came across a link for a medium I have used again and again for texture in paintings.I never thought of moulding it like that, looks great, usually use a plalette knife with it, but these moulded shapes look terriffic, thanks for a great tip! Obviously this is what pinging is all about!
the paste in use in one of my paintings,this is a detail of a larger work.
Once I get my wp gallery plug in working I hope to post at least a couple of pics( to see if it works) pending closer examination of my photography skills LOL!
