Works of Art

While I contemplate my "work of art" proposal for our CEP 882 course, I am really thinking hard about what a "work of art" can be.  I find it interesting that I associated ART to be painting, writing, music, the crafts etc.  Then I read the syllabus again and noted how our professor encouraged to produce something that I had knowledge of or great interest in.  Well, the answer to this is definitely SPORTS for me and then I had a flashback thought of how I once watched one of my top swimming students train in the pool one afternoon.  I told him his (butterfly) stroke was like "poetry in motion".  I laughed knowing that this reiterated the fact that I can be "artistic" even as a "jock"..haha!

  1. I empathize with your reactions to the upcoming project proposal. In my head I had the same initial reaction, and then I panicked because I am not a musician or a painter. But you're absolutely right in that there is art in all kinds of endeavors, and there is talent and skill required to make it something amazing.
