The search for truth- Wikis

The Libraries best practises Wiki seems like it could be very useful in many ways. It has extensive postings on a wide variety of subjects including book reviews, staffing issues , and the use of new technologies . I found it rather visually boring but the information is very relevant and up to date. I can see how this is a fantastic information sharing technology, on par with the Library itself!
The Montana Historical Society Wiki is an interesting site . I love the idea of communities sharing information this way, from the study of cook books to information on special interest groups like the local American Indian populations. Again I feel it could be more visually appealing
I looked up Art on Wikipedia and thought I would share one of their definitions with you "Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature. " Nice...... It could apply to blogging too.


This is a beautiful image for me. It shows the dedication and focus that can be shown when creating art. It is happening here in a really simple environment, on a street, with very simple tools, chalks and ashphalt, and is really giving a very effective result . I love the way it is being created by a child , showing how easy and rewarding creating art can be. There really are no excuses!

Art is an integral part of life. It can accurately reflect reality or provide an escape from it. I aim to provide examples of artworks by artists that inspire me and therefore provide points of reflection.

Today I added an image to my blog. It took a while but I got there.
I thought this image looked pretty interesting and contemplative. Obviously I haven't really got a direction for this blog yet! I do like clouds though .

I can see that a lot can be learned by going through the process, finding the tools and using them, and by being brave enough to try.....
