Everett TrueI can sit in front of a table and draw a few lines on a piece of paper. Is that art? Does that make me an artist?I can sit at a computer keyboard and type a few lines about some record I heard (or whatever). Is that criticism? Does that make me a critic? I can sing lustfully to my baby as I'm tying my laces, or bang a few saucepans. Is that music? Does that make me a musician?
thanks for posting this Jerry, nice to have an eye on the conversation - almost tempts me back into the realm of FB. I said 'almost'.. The nod to the Craftsman book was appreciated too. I just ordered a copy. I suspect there will be some useful points to consider with respect to my own area of interest at the moment, which is to do with transformation of learning and teaching within contemporary contexts (trying to avoid saying 21st Century). There are inevitable connections between the realm of learning/education and the very questions that you are grappling with: what role for the 'expert'? Implications of bottom-up structures on traditional top-down methodology... those sorts of things.
