ART OF BEING

Illuminating the themes of Play as Being,an ongoing series of arts projects, 
“Art of Being,” has begun for the village area,  
where PaB members can participate in and work together.  It makes the 
village area a more dynamic place of being with 
everyone working together and learning to build.  We use the 
expertise of more skilled members to teach us and work with us.  The 
goal of the project is to reinforce the PaB themes creatively 
and visually.  We will eventually incorporate music, poetry, 
photography, and performance arts.  Each work of art should have a 
notecard for visitors that would explain PaB and the specific theme 
the work was depicting. 
 
Initially, our first project started with limitations on number of prims, 
size, colors, and no textures, no sound, few particles, simply shape 
and color.  Within these parameters, we participated 
individually or as small groups and presented  works of art 
that illuminated  PaB themes and fits the following guidelines: 
 
The limits are: 
No more than 50 prims; 
only use color, no textures, no sound, limited particles; 
and limit size to under 10 sqm 
 
We used the “prim” as a metaphor for being; 
using shades of colors for the many colors of being; 
using transparency for revealing being; 
dropping textures as a metaphor for “PaB dropping” 
 
Many of us participated and filled the Village Square with art!
