Gary Clark, M.A. Artist, Musician, Author, Speaker. Master of
Arts degree from the State University of New York. Currently
full-time artist on the island of Clearwater Beach, Florida,
USA. CD entitled "Message from the Wind" (orchestral,
meditational, transformative compositions). Published novelist,
poet, & non-fiction writer. Has taught at all levels of
education. Speaker to education & civic groups. Born March 11,
1947 in Buffalo, New York USA.
The goals of the course include the optimal use of email, web
sites, home pages, chat networks, microsmic networks, & other
emerging heuristic tools to enhance an awareness of Earth &
Mind, to realize the tremendous (often neglected) powers of
imagination, to appreciate dwelling on the Earth, & to maximize
the possibilities of personal creativity through surges of
emotion & energy, through intuitive insight, & through
application of our discoveries to the development of new modes
of thought, new forms of integrative art, &--above all--the
gathering of world-wide friends into a dynamic inFLOWmation
network of sharing & caring.
This integrative course is adaptable to needs of students &
participants. Basic knowledge of English is essential.
Translators acceptable (inquire). No specific background
required except genuine interest in topics on the course OUTLINE
as posted on server. Most importantly, a desire to understand &
apply creativity to the often-strange flow of events in everyday
life & to the discovery & encountering of phenomena in the
physical world.
Time Frame: On-Going, International Dialogue with students &
participants around the world. Preferred mimimum is one
month.Open-Ended Learning Experience. Life-Long Learning!
Imagineering! A set Time Frame can be established at the
beginning, with a defined group of topics. Focus & centering are
encouraged, in addition to divergent thinking & being.
Students & participants can expect to be exposed to provocative
questions (& answers or suggestions) about personal creativity &
conscious evolution in accordance with their level of
understanding & the depth of the desire. The course is necessary
to transcend the more typical approaches to learning & beliefs
about the uses of imagination."To see in the background possible
figures."
The course theme plan consists of a review of the OUTLINE for
the course as posted on the server & a centering on a group of
topics in the OUTLINE to be discussed & developed together.
Technology of training will center on the dialogical interaction
via email, although teleconferencing is a possibility, as well
as other emerging technologies. Primarily, a creative form of
Question & Response will be the form of interaction. When
possible & permissable new topics or discoveries will be posted
on a Bulletin Board or Home Page (see angelfire.com/fl/garyclark
as example) for all students & participants to consider &, if
desired, respond to. The ultimate goal is to create
Mind-Exchanges that foster Quantum-Leap Learning through the
creative use of techonology & educational methodologies.
Synergies & synchronicities will be stimulated to encourage
personal synthesis.
Evaluation is based on the deepening of insight & the quality of
responses. Feedback is given directly to students &
participants. The creation of a free Home Page to share with
others is encouraged.
