How to be an Explorer of the World

and, when you're done, you can try other keri smith books like "wreck this journal" and "the guerilla art kit. In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. It’s a matter of recognising that value, that quality, and then to transform it into something that can be used.

However, in the meantime, I’ll be enjoying keeping up with Smith’s well-loved blog, the wish jar journal. Printed two color inside, with no type used at all – not even page numbers – this book serves as an example of what the author is trying to teach us: creating, documenting, collecting. A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it.Now I couldn’t do a lot of exploring outside because of the pandemic but I sure did investigate the four corners of my house thoroughly and I became aware of a certain number of things that were never there or things which I had never noticed before!

At any given, moment, no matter where you are, there are hundreds of things around you that are interesting and worth documenting.

It’s like when we were kids — all we do is explore; and then when we’re all grown up, we forget how — I know I did.

Three or four people is okay too, but if you're just exploring for fun, you probably don't want too big of a party. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. Perhaps it is right to give this text to those beginning their academic adventure into the art world, but I feel that having made the great leap to decide on going to college for art, the text may seem trivial, mundane, cliche- wait I mean kitsch (as far as art terms go). I was always interested in the topic of creativity, and its many manifestations throughout my daily life, but Keri brought clarity to my thoughts and inspired me with one of the articles from her blog that first caught my eye: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love. Okay so don’t tell this to anyone 🤫 but there was this exploration where you needed to go to a public place and overhear conversations and document them!
