"For half a century
photography has been the "art form" of the untalented. Obviously some
pictures are more satisfactory than others, but where is credit due? to
the designer of the camera? To the finger on the button? To the law of
averages?"

During my time in the department, I have come to know of students who show artistry in other area's. Some students have been Olympic synchronised swimmers (derryn 2006), Kwazulu Natalian cyclists (bronwen 2009) South African ice hockey representatives (kristyn 2011). There are/were pastry chefs (dena 2011), musicians (sibonisa 2012) wanna be musicians (siya ndlovu * wink wink 2012), poets (lelo, gcobisa, lindy 2010/2012) and dancers (se below) ... ... ... and so much more TALENT to be discovered in the department, besides photography.
This post is dedicated to showcasing students with other 'gifts'.
Let me know via email if you know of a student who I can showcase. Simanga (aka Konstant) from first year posted these two YouTube videos
of Ntombi and Monde doing their thang's outside the department in November 2011 (end of portfolio hand in!)...

ReplyDeleteHe told a story about a young girl in class which was thought to have problems learning but she loves and enjoys dancing and that is when it was realised that some people can only think when they are moving e.g dancing, singing whereas what we usually know as "thinking mode" is when you are pacing back and forth, tapping your fingers on the desk or you head which is the same as dancing. Dancing is not only about self-expression but also about thinking and finding solutions.
