Two roads diverged in a yellow wood… Option I:  Scholarship and Contemporary Research Option II:  Da Vinci’s Insights
John Cimino  Creative Leaps International "All our knowledge has its origins  in our perception.“ Leonardo Da Vinci “ Everything is connected to  everything else.” Leonardo Da Vinci
It is not logic which guides discovery and artful creativity, but  perception  and  imaginative insight .  Receiving from the outside… Conjuring from the inside… Now, imagine learning as personal discovery. (Vico) John Cimino  Creative Leaps International "All our knowledge has its origins  in our perception.“ Leonardo Da Vinci a footnote  from neuroscience
Imagination = perception ?   In terms of neurological events, our memories and imaginings of experience produce much the same experience as direct experience itself. (experiments using P.E.T. scans)  The more we learn about learning and the brain, the more we learn how powerful our own beliefs are in creating what we experience as reality. Now, what’s the upside of this equation? a footnote  from neuroscience
Imagination = perception ?   In terms of neurological events, our memories and imaginings of experience produce much the same experience as direct experience itself. (experiments using P.E.T. scans)  The more we learn about learning and the brain, the more we learn how powerful our own beliefs are in creating what we experience as reality. Now, what’s the upside of this equation? Imagination as interior sight and senses.  a function of the physical body. a footnote  from neuroscience
Fantasia Italian, for “imaginative insight”, (according to Vico) a knowing equivalent to the uniquely intimate knowing of an inventor or creator, more immediate and personal than knowing mediated via the stratagems of logic. “ Imagination is more important than knowledge.”    Einstein

(Vico)   John Cimino  Creative Leaps International The arts  inhabit and thrive   at this cusp of perception  and meaning-making, flexing  both  in favor of creativity, discovery and learning. The arts live here!

Discovery and innovation in today’s world are more likely to be found at the  crossroads  of our disciplines than at their established centers, more likely to be revealed at the  collision points  of our cultures than in their mainstreams.  “Only connect”, said Bateson.  “This is how we make meaning, this is how we learn to think as Nature thinks.” A working philosophy of interdisciplinary connections and knowledge integration The Medici Effect

Creative Leaps International  John J. Cimino, Jr. “ I went for a walk over the dunes again this morning to the sea…” A.R. Ammons Thinking about thinking at Corson's Inlet Thinking and learning with other logics Corson’s Inlet Let’s take a walk…
… I see narrow orders, limited tightness, but will not run to that easy victory:   still around the looser, wider forces work: I will try   to fasten into order enlarging grasps of disorder, widening scope, but enjoying the freedom that Scope eludes my grasp, that there is no finality of vision, that I have perceived nothing completely,   that tomorrow a new walk is a new walk.   A.R. Ammons (1963) Thinking about thinking at Corson's Inlet
Consilience Literally, a “jumping together” of knowledge across disciplines, consilience is all about connections, revealing deeper, common groundworks of explanation. “ Everything is connected to everything else.”   Leonardo Da Vinci

Coeur The French word for “heart” from which we also derive the word “courage”.  The heart: our body’s gateway to another order of knowing.  “The heart has reasons, which reason does not comprehend.” “ It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.  What is essential is invisible to the eye.”  St. Exupery a footnote  from neuroscience
a footnote  from neuroscience Emotional markers and learning   The amygdala, in effect, tags each experience we have with an emotional marker.  The stronger the emotion attached to an experience, the stronger the marker, the more intense our memory of that experience.  Engaging emotion in learning invariably increases the vividness and retention of particular learning experiences.  (UCI)
What do you think? Emotions precede our application of logic, impelling particular directions of exploration over others and singling out certain associations among ideas or idea fragments over others. (intuitions, hunches, feelings) Emotions as integrators of experience and ideas: “ the feeling of what happens” (Antonio Damasio) ,[object Object],[object Object]
a footnote  from neuroscience Neurogenesis and neural plasticity   We are constantly growing new brain cells and do so all our lives.  Only we can decide what our brains will become.    (a story…) Good news…
John Cimino  Creative Leaps International "All our knowledge has its origins  in our perception.“ Leonardo Da Vinci “ Everything is connected to  everything else.” Leonardo Da Vinci So, how do we infuse creativity and connectivity into our schools, universities, organizations, businesses and communities? What sort of entity could serve as a catalyst, enabler or model for our 21 st  century institutions? The Big Question:
Governing Metaphors Visual Images What sort of entity could serve as a catalyst or model for our 21 st  century institutions? Visual Explorer
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership We envision a new institution, a uniquely 21st century center for learning, discovery and innovation which will bring together the domains of education, business, the arts and sciences in a revolutionary new research and learning environment. Vision
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership The performing and creative arts will occupy center stage at this new institution, but not as destinations in themselves, rather as lightning rods for creative thinking across the disciplines and as new lenses for problem-solving, dialogue and research. Research and Learning Environment
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership The challenges facing leaders in education, business and the social sector are today exceedingly complex and unsuited to solutions generated from within the silos of individual disciplines.  Nor will these challenges will be resolved by a business as usual reliance upon traditional methods of analysis and the usual linear models of causality. Challenges
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership More than ever before, there is a profound need for more imagination and ingenuity, for new conceptual frameworks and fresh approaches to the complexities of our world.  Where will this come from?  We must look bravely to a species of thinking and learning that flows from incendiary new perceptions and vivid new unifying insights.  “ Knowledge is limited,” Einstein reminds us.  “Imagination encircles the world.” Imagination
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership Discovery and innovation in today’s world are more likely to be found at the  crossroads  of our disciplines than at their established centers, more likely to be revealed at the  collision points  of our cultures than in their mainstreams.  “Only connect”, said Bateson.  “This is how we make meaning, this is how we learn to think as Nature thinks.” A working philosophy of interdisciplinary connections and knowledge integration
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership Arts  Creative, Performing, Interpretive Connectivity  Interdisciplinarity,  Knowledge Integration  Research  Creativity, Arts, Learning, Culture, Neuroscience Technology  Creative, Educational and Systems Support Education Teacher Formation, Renewal, Professional Development, Educational Leadership, K-12 Arts Integration  (The Learning Arts) Business, Government, NGOs  Leadership, Creativity, Innovation,  Resilience & CRO Services (Creative Leaps International) Living Systems Science and Human Values  Sustainable Technologies,   Education, Public Interest Imaginative Universities and Business Schools Creativity, Leadership, Knowledge Integration, Entrepreneurship Teaching Artists and Consultants Training, Mentoring, Professional Development Harnessing the power and vitality of the arts  to help organizations and their leaders access  multiple creative connections, deeper personal insights  and rich new solutions to the challenges at hand Serving five inter-connected constituencies
Renaissance Center  for Innovation, Learning and Leadership Why a “Renaissance” Center? Renaissance ,  from the French and Latin, meaning “re-birth” 1.  Historically , the transitional movement in Europe between medieval and modern times beginning in the 14 th  century in Italy, lasting into the 17 th  century, and marked by a humanistic revival of classical influence expressed in a flowering of the arts and literature and by the beginnings of modern science 2.  Universally, a movement or period of vigorous artistic and intellectual activity We seek a 21 century  renaissance  of the human spirit -- enlivened by creativity, impassioned by learning and guided by wise and compassionate leadership.  We seek a more vibrant and mutually sustaining relationship with our planet Earth.  We seek a vigorous interplay among the arts, sciences and entrepreneurial pioneers.  We seek ideas across all boundaries, cultures and disciplines.  We seek a peaceful, sustainable, equitable society. The Renaissance   provoked inquiry, encouraged criticism, revealed a deeper, freer human nature, shattered narrow mental barriers and connected the disciplines of knowledge in a three century burst of creativity and invention. Achievements of the Renaissance : a new way of regarding the material world and human nature, a new conception of humankind’s destiny and duties on this planet, a new culture and new intellectual perceptions penetrating every sphere of thought and energy -- and on the world stage, new reciprocal relations among the nations.

  • 30. "All our knowledge has its origins in our perception.“ Leonardo Da Vinci One purpose of art is to alter the quality of our attentiveness -- to enhance, refresh and sharpen our perceptions . It is not logic which guides discovery and artful creativity, but perception and imaginative insight . Receiving from the outside… Conjuring from the inside… Now, imagine learning as personal discovery. (Vico) John Cimino Creative Leaps International The arts inhabit and thrive at this cusp of perception and meaning-making, flexing both in favor of creativity, discovery and learning. The arts live here!

The stronger the emotion attached to an experience, the stronger the marker, the more intense our memory of that experience. Engaging emotion in learning invariably increases the vividness and retention of particular learning experiences. (UCI)

  • 63. Renaissance Center for Innovation, Learning and Leadership Why a “Renaissance” Center? Renaissance , from the French and Latin, meaning “re-birth” 1. Historically , the transitional movement in Europe between medieval and modern times beginning in the 14 th century in Italy, lasting into the 17 th century, and marked by a humanistic revival of classical influence expressed in a flowering of the arts and literature and by the beginnings of modern science 2. Universally, a movement or period of vigorous artistic and intellectual activity We seek a 21 century renaissance of the human spirit -- enlivened by creativity, impassioned by learning and guided by wise and compassionate leadership. We seek a more vibrant and mutually sustaining relationship with our planet Earth. We seek a vigorous interplay among the arts, sciences and entrepreneurial pioneers. We seek ideas across all boundaries, cultures and disciplines. We seek a peaceful, sustainable, equitable society. The Renaissance provoked inquiry, encouraged criticism, revealed a deeper, freer human nature, shattered narrow mental barriers and connected the disciplines of knowledge in a three century burst of creativity and invention. Achievements of the Renaissance : a new way of regarding the material world and human nature, a new conception of humankind’s destiny and duties on this planet, a new culture and new intellectual perceptions penetrating every sphere of thought and energy -- and on the world stage, new reciprocal relations among the nations.
