GEORGES SEURAT

• Reflecting reality one degree (pixel) at a time.

5
Points of color reveal the big picture.
6

• Why didnt Seurat get an accurate photographic
  picture made of himself rather than paint his
  fuzzy self-portrait?
• Why didnt he simply photograph the Sunday
  Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte? (He
  painted the jetty the way it made him feel, not
  the way it literally looked.)
• Why did he wear a beard? (Some cultures are so
  subtle, they are practically hidden)
• What Dutch artist was the supreme painter of
  pictures that mirrored his subjective inner
  reality rather than external reality?

• You dont really know your own home culture if
  youve never stepped out of it for a significant
  period of time.
• If you experience a culture strictly as a
  tourist, you dont know much about it. The only
  way to really understand a culture is to live and
  work in it.
• The best way to understand a culture is to
  APPRECIATE it-- this requires opening your
  subjective PRISM
• You learn about cultures one experience (jigsaw
  puzzle piece) at a time until you become that
  culture.

• The 1 challenge of this course is seeing other
  cultures with their glasses on.

1. All learning is self-teaching. No one can make
   you learn but yourself. You cant learn until
   youre ready to learn. When the student is
   ready, the teacher will appear.
2. You wont engage in self-teaching (learning)
   unless you are interested in the subject.
3. When youre not interested, you shut your PRISM
   (openness to reality).
4. Class cant force you to open your PRISM when you
   dont want to.

11

• Only
• YOU
• can open your PRISM

• My main job is to tell the truth through the
  lenses of multiple PRISMs.
