Creativity is often interdisciplinary<\/a>. While some try to keep different art forms separate and distinct, others are inspired by the possibilities of melding 2 or more art forms.<\/p>\n

Humans naturally try to divide their world into polarized segments… light and dark… good and bad…art or craft…etc. It is how we try to simplify and understand complex situations.<\/p>\n

Imagine the excitement when classical music<\/a> and athletic but graceful dance were first combined. (Ballet) The multiple layers of artforms in Opera<\/a> (vocal and instrumental music, acting, costumes & sets) allowed us to be submersed in an alternative reality, long before virtual reality was possible.<\/p>\n

Our Boulder university is considering creating a new School of the Arts<\/a>, combining theatre and dance, art and art history and film studies departments, plus staff from the CU Art Museum and Colorado Shakespeare Festival.<\/p>\n

In yesterday’s local paper<\/a>, it was reported that “….students are already thwarting departmental boundaries by blending all sorts of artistic disciplines into projects, degrees and performances.”<\/p>\n

I like to mix up the creative inspiration and creative expression (Images In = Images Out) so they swirl together like a chocolate\/vanilla ice cream cone.<\/p>\n

When I look at things through a camera lens, or try to paint something with a brush and pigment, I experience the source in a new and different way. This week I was able to photograph our Boulder Philharmonic in concert, which was a fantastic experience. I have long been inspired by Max Oppenheimer’s giant painting at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna – of Gustav Mahler conducting the Vienna Philharmonic<\/a>. No online photo can do this piece justice, because it is HUGE, and the details get lost when it is shrunk down.<\/p>\n

However the visual stimulation of my photo session, combined with the live music, and the memory of Oppenheimer’s painting, got my creative juices roaring this week.<\/p>\n

How do you layer different creative inputs, and different artistic disciplines, to make something new?<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
