FUNNY FEELING

I learned a new word today and that is "autodidact". It means someone who is self-taught. I found it incredibly inspiring that Bruno Munari was entirely a self-taught artist. Lisa Nugent introduced his work to us in first term and my interest quickly grew into a fascination of his work and his philosophy. In hindsight, our Superstudio could be indirectly influenced by his playfulness and his process of making things. Munari was involved with children's book and teaching children about art. The monsters, wood boxes, and wooden mobiles suddenly become more meaningful in my own reasoning. As an inventor of "useless machines" (a phrase he coined himself), Munari would have been pleased.

"Da cosa nasce cosa" (one thing leads to another).--Bruno Munari
