How to be an Explorer of the World

Product Information

Yesterday I had this urge to go to the park, and I was pretty excited about it, seeing as I had packed everything (camera, a picnic mat, sunscreen and good walking shoes) that would make for a good afternoon at Lake Gardens, one of the biggest park here in Kuala Lumpur (think of it as a Central Park, only much, much smaller). The dictionary defines an ‘explorer’ as ‘a person who investigates unknown regions’ and if those unknown regions lie within us – in our hearts, our minds and our souls – then every single one of us has the potential to be an explorer of the world. Blogs are great at being effient and scrapbooking is more a capial industry than it is a creative outlet. It is full of people proposing projects just like yours, and people donate money to the causes they believe in.

Appropriate for all ages, Smith suggests a variety of activities and observations one can perform to awaken their senses and imagination. However, looking beyond the surface, Smith’s books are also highly inspirational, referencing everything and everyone from eastern philosophy to John Cage and Charles and Ray Eames.It’s a good idea to know what’s normal, what’s not, and to know what signs Mother Nature is giving you. In this sense we may choose to become either literally lost, exploring a place we’ve never been before, or lost in the sense that we enter into a relationship with objects and ideas without knowing what the outcome will be. How to be an explorer of the world is Keri’s fourth book after so many other inspiring creativity-inducing books such as Living Out Loud, Wreck This Journal and The Guerilla Art Kit.

I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s ready to experience life with the fresh perspective of a child again and re-start exploring the things in the world we’ve long since forgotten.

Because of that, you’ll need to find sponsors, media partners, and kind souls to get your project afloat and to give it the validity it needs – when you get back, you want to share your work with others, not just have it be over! stars for Keri Smith's, "How to be an Explorer of the World," because the title stays true to its content. Now a guided journal, How to be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum is a beautifully hand-illustrated collection of 59 ‘explorations’ – cool ideas for how to get creatively unstuck by engaging with everyday objects and your surroundings. The more you know, the more you’ll know exactly what you want to do and the more you’ll be prepared to do it. With a series of interactive prompts and a beautiful, hand-illustrated, two-colour package, readers will love exploring this gorgeous book.

You’ll want pants and tennis shoes to get through the dirt and to protect your legs from the brush and bramble.Both daring and meditative, How to Be an Explorer of the World is part Maira Kalman, part Wendy MacNaughton, part its very own kind of whimsy, delivering--beautifully--exactly what it says on the tin, with an invitation to be just a little bit more alive each day. The urban environment with it's overabundance of noise, both visual and auditory causes us to "tune out" on a regular basis, to the point where we don't notice things. Make sure you wear your backpack correctly – you wouldn't want to hurt your back halfway through exploring!
