Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2). Although some scholars agree that creative

The line that forms the corner of the wall behind her is much more definite and concrete, but it almost appears as though there has been an attempt to obliterate notions of line in the woman herself -- the folds of her clothes resist any distinguishability.

At this level, focus should be on meeting the needs of the graphic design industry. It is at the graduate level where intense discussion of theory should be developed. I agree with Frascara on this point. In most disciplines, such discussion is typically conducted at the graduate level. The average graphic design student can benefit from this work where applicable, especially if Frascara's proposed reference centers are created. One of

Still, Mohist impact was considerable. The Legalists embraced the Mohists' authoritarian concepts. The Confucians and Taoists both acquired meaning and intensity from responding against Mohist rulers. And the universalistic social vision of Mohism helped motivate comparable propensities in later on, post-classical Taoism. In addition, Chinese reformers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, typically discovered Mozi an interesting exemplar of the committed social reform (Kirkland, p. 4-5). The idea of reform

," goes on to say that one gallery almost sold all of its prints and a rival site also took 100 orders for prints. (Selling, 1) Also, in the second article cited, "Art and the Internet," an article found in BusinessWeek on 24 January, 2001, it claims that only 2% of international art sales, valued at $7 billion, are actually well-known and sold in public auctions with the help of the
