Tinkering

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In Tinkering with Intent, Rushton features Blair Somerville. “He uses found materials and other curious objects which he re-purposes into magical moving artworks.”

He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“Try and recall a moment when you saw something amazing that others didn’t. Whether you talk about that moment or keep it to yourself, there’s something interesting and perhaps even special about you for that connection.

We all have the ability to see beauty in the ordinary. The question is whether we let such moments happen.”


My husband and I love going to local festivals and we always are looking for something new and different. I always wonder how people come up with these ideas. I love to meet people who come up with these new ideas and learn more about them. I would love to challenge my students to research and find something different that we don’t usually see every day. They can look on YouTube, magazines, or even newspapers.

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
