While the rest of the PF team are currently away, I thought I would move away from behind my desk to get my creative juices flowing. I had been thinking about creating some artistic images for our power point slides to align with our arts based learning concept.

I enjoy working with ink because of its unpredictable nature when mixed with water. In my own personal work, I like to use ink in an organic way juxtaposed with rigid shapes and lines. This started my thinking process in regards to the brain; (two sides) the organic creative side and the rigid ordered side and both connected with each other.

Below are a some  pictures of what I hope I can continue to explore further.

Speaking of both sides of the brain, I came across this video on the TED website by renowned psychiatrist and writer Iain McGilchrist. It explains how our ‘divided brain’ has profoundly altered human behaviour, culture and society. Click the link below to watch.
