Phoebe's PLJ" began as a project for my Freshman English class when we were reading Daniel Pink's "A Whole New Mind". The purpose of the PLJ or Personal Learning Journal was to blog our thoughts on a selection of Pinks exercises throughout his book. I just recently came across this, today in fact. I was looking up creativity blogs on the internet, looking for some inspiration to do, well, anything. As I was reading through them I realized that creativity blogs are no more than random thoughts and tidbits of a persons creative, spiritual, and emotional journey through time. I have decided to make this PLJ not only a personal learning journal, but also my very own Personal Learning JOURNEY, my version of a creativity blog. With that I shall let the journey begin. No, not begin, resume with the journal as my witness.

Symphony: Negative Space

Negative space is used in a large range of objects from logos to furniture. It is important to look at this negative space, just as it is important to look at all sides of an issue before taking a stand on that issue. When you look at the following image there are one of two things that come to mind immediately.


1. A butterfly, or some form of bug. This is the white space and is what comes to mind first for me
2. Two men facing each other, and giving a thumbs-up. This was the more difficult image for me to see.
Like this picture I think that it is very important to see different points of views in every aspect of life. then you can use the different information gathered to create your own idea. This idea will then be a symphony of all the other information presented.
