Clarification on language and some resources

In the real world creative personalities spark off each other and make for a dynamic visual culture. With that in mind, I think we own it to our learners to make them aware off  the possibilities of both art and design, through the language we use and the resources we offer. It makes for a broader, richer education.

Couple links to urban designer/artists

Interesting a bit urban, and bit landscape and all the stuff indetween.

The following web resources are good and fun http://www.colourlovers.com/
It allows the user to create, share and apply colour palettes to other users design templates.
It offers a platform for a whole dialogue of connectedness with like mined individuals who "love colour".
It raises awareness that there is a world and an industry that places value, both personal and financial in developing such skills.

re. the workshops, its good to get a bit of clarification there.
