Re: [Frameworks] Forwarded from Massart Faculty

[lady snowblood]

I’ve been observing this situation and reflecting on the need for competing 
skills inside one person: 
- adherence to personal vision in the studio
- the flexibility of ego to collaborate well with colleagues and students in 
the educational environment. 

I’ve seen behavior like this in art teachers the past, although not to this 
degree. And I assigned it as lots of skill in one area (authorship) fewer 
skills in another ... 

It’s hard. I’m reminded that “you can’t say authoritarian without author”. I 
also re-invest in the notion that I have to keep a good buffer between my 
formal creative practice (viciously adhering to the vision) and the social 
skills for creating resilient learning environment (relax, communicate, 
provoke, nourish, discover together etc).

Hey Alain,
It looks like folks on film-tech were mourning its demise in 2011:
http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=006013

There are lots of UK folks on that forum that may know alternatives...

Turned up in quick search. I'm going to assume Lee's is gone. Last known
website is no longer active, and search
does not turn up much.

Thanks,
