Mixed Media Creativity. Yesterday I took a Mixed Media class with artist Ginger Lou through CourseHorse via Zoom, and after watching her work her magic, and listening to her instructions, I pulled out my acrylic paints, paint brushes, midge lodge, old magazines, and glitter and created this masterpiece of color and cathartic meaning. When I looked at it, upon finishing, I realized it definitely expressed how I’ve felt all week. #mixedmedia #gingerlou #coursehorse #expression (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHdrodB-Xc/?igshid=1x77to26382yz

Scholarship Submission

The Following is my submission to the 2015 Fall CourseHorse Learner’s Scholarship, coursehorse.com/scholarship:

Learning: noun; the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught. Something I believe we all take for granted. In today’s day and age, I don’t think we realize what is at the tip of our fingertips. We have the ability to literally teach ourselves anything through various sources like Youtube, Google, local libraries, or even online books. We don’t realize that our generation could be the most intelligent crop of students that ever lived, with the least amount of difficulty, but we can’t see what is right in front of us. Yet, if we were to take advantage of our 21st century resources, what would that mean? A constantly learning society, I believe, would lead to a better world. I believe learning is putting yourself out in a realm that you are uneducated, and learn from the experience. Live and learn, push yourself forward, work to be a better person, but don’t do this in ignorance. To me, learning is improving not just your mental capacity, but your physical and spiritual understanding. If you believe in something, learn about it and be able to defend it. For example, you don’t simply watch football for pure enjoyment and have no clue of what is going on, for there would be no purpose. You learn, and continue to learn more as you watch more and more of that sport or activity. I believe learning has more than just going to school and doing my homework, it is an action of curiosity and intention to become well-rounded. It expands us as people, learners, and as communicators.

CourseHorse Learners Scholarship, 2015

               Lead the way Having an education can seamlessly open up a world of possibilities and opportunity for an individual. As the saying goes, “Knowledge is power”- those who have chosen to seek an education are undoubtedly leaders and role models within their community. Though the journey of receiving an education may not always be the easiest; the mere purpose of obtaining an education makes it all worthwhile. An individual on this journey will not only gain further understanding of the subject, but one will be able to equally teach others about the learned subject and positively influence those around them. One of the main reasons why people strive to be educated is to gain knowledge on a subject. The idea of not knowing or even not knowing enough can be a setback. For instance, one may have to go back to school to meet the requirements for a certain job. In other words, one of the purposes of an education is to be at a mastery level of performance and understanding. A good education not only ensures these previously mentioned factors, but it also makes getting a job easier. As humans we want to belong and with an education one can find their niche; securing their own place in society.   Another notable purpose of education is being able to pass on what you have learned to others. In order to teach effectively and properly one must be knowledgeable of the subject. And to be knowledgeable one must first seek an education! Once youhave been educated it is ones responsibility to go out into the world andinform others. Be mindful that some may not have the same means as you to receive an education and you may be their only hope.  As individuals step up and teach others, they become leaders and role models within their community.   Thus allowing the educated individual to positively influence and impact their community. To put it simply, education is equivalent to a fruit bearing seeds that will create a multitude of more produce. The community is rich soil-waiting to be used. In this case, taught. The educated individual is the farmer who will plant these seeds amongst the soil; creating more produce and wealth for all. Ultimately, the purpose of education can be put into three distinct categories: the first being to gain knowledge, next is being able to teach others, and thirdly enriching ones environment. Whether it is for oneself to gain an education or to better ones surroundings both will occur while obtaining an education. Again, though the journey may be rough; these purposescontinually inspire me to pursue an education.  coursehorse
