     ... horses with wings...green martians...
     ... the imagination is much more than this...


     ...it is reponsible of  that we can see the world as we see it... because everyone of us see, and feels, in a personal form. For example, when people look at the sea.. some of then see the blue water, others see the inmensity, others only think about fishing and win money.. others will see storms and feel fear. This is so about all the things that we can see or feel. All of us can see or feel similar but never the same.

On watching the Guernica of Pablo Picasso, every one will feel diferent things...

       The imagination allows to us to see in this picture of Monet  wo boys with his mother or his childminder, but, if we are meticulous, there are only stains....

         ...more stains painted by Monet, and feel us to belive that we are seen a lady with an umbrella...Monet is a wizard of the paintbrush...


       Imagination continuosly fills all the holes of our perception. For example when we watch a beautiful landscape  we believe that we are seen all the things of that landscape, but, really, we only see the pictures of the general concepts that we know about that landscape... the sun, the trees, the grass, the spaciusness...until we concentrate over a concret thing... a tree... with short branches...with many small leafs..etc, but we only see, again, the things on that we are concentrating our attention...we don´t see the exact colour of the trunk, the form of its base or the possible spots that it has...we only see the concepts of that on we are concentrating.

       If we find some thing that we don´t know what it is, our imagination can not fill the hole, tryes to fill it conjeturing on what it can be and,  if it doesn´t find an explanation, remains a hole without name. Some of us forget that hole but others will figth until know what it is.

       For example... what are this pictures?

 

...extrange machine.

 

...extrange picture...What does it mean?

                                                                

 

...I have not idea....

       .. only say that one of that things is able to peel garlics...


       Imagination is a so big concept that I´ll try to divide in various sections... imagination in the arts, imagination in the dayly life, in the tecnics, in the games.
    

 

Imagination in the arts 

                                                           Imagination in the inventive...

                                                           Imagination in the tecnics.....

        Imagination doesn't create nor destroy, only transforms...

        No more for today.
