Leonardo da Vinci embodied the perfect synergy of fine art, design, education and technology. Enjoy a small sample of preparatory studies and three masterpieces that combine passion and refined delicacy. This HD video homage (created as an instructional example in iMovie) builds with intensity and brings viewers to a prophetic end.
My video was inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany & Co's Chittenden-stained glass Memorial "Education" at Yale University. it portrays an allegory of angels, each identified by their halos as Art, Science, Religion and Music surrounded by their ideas, values and virtues, guided by Light, Love and Life.

The "Biological Advantages of Being Awestruck" is by Jason Silva was inspired by three big ideas: 1. our ability to awe was biologically selected for by evolution to work harder to thrive. Our desire to understand brings exquisite pleasure... and feeds our exploratory voyage, our scientific inquiry, our technological development, and even our poetic self-regard. For 2 and 3, see the details below.

This video was created by Jason Silva and shot and edited with his friends at Bravo Media Experiential Studio and is non-commercial and for educational and inspirational purposes only. Full credits and clip attributions can be found below. This video was inspired by three big ideas:
1) The ideas of psychologist Nicholas Humphrey who has written of "THE BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE OF BEING AWESTRUCK". Basically, our ability to awe was biologically selected for by evolution because it imbues our lives with sense of cosmic significance that has resulted in a species that works harder not just to survive but to flourish and thrive. "Humphrey refers to consciousness as a magic show that you stage for yourself inside your head, which lights up the world and makes you feel special and transcendent... this magical theater provides a reason to live, a love of occupying the present moment, and a desire to sustain it into the future, that over time has proved stronger than anything else, and accounts for humanity’s swift and triumphant success. Humphrey says, “being enchanted by the magic of experience, rather than being just an aid to survival, provides an essential incentive to survive.” "We relish just being here. We feel “the yen to confirm and renew, in small ways or large, our own occupancy of the present moment, to go deeper, to extend it, to revel in being there, and when we have the skill, to celebrate it in words.” Our desire to understand brings exquisite pleasure... and feeds our exploratory voyage, our scientific inquiry, our technological development, and even our poetic self-regard. More Details
2) The Stanford study that found that AWE is clinically good for you, expanding perception of time, increasing compassion and empathy and promoting well-being. More Details
3) Ross Andersen's rapturous meditation on the ontological awakening of our psyches provided by the Hubble Space Telescope: "At first glancing the Deep FIELD “one might mistake it for gemstones scattered across black velvet, but a closer look reveals that each smudge of light, 2,600 in all, is a galaxy dense with billions of star-fired worlds, pinwheeling in deep time. … To that point, astronomy had imaged objects only four billion light years away, and poorly at that. Here a telescope reached 11 and a half billion light years into space and delivered an image legible to the layman: an unprecedented expansion of human vision." More Details

*BRIEF HISTORY of TCAC & GALLERY 62 WEST:
My (Shelly Solberg) conception, development, coordination, logo and promotion of TCAC, the Taylor County Arts Council began in 1996 (MCMXCVI) (herein referred to as TCAC). With the help of the TVDA, Community Action, Bruce Miller, Bill Spears and Sally Cooper, I surveyed Taylor County on foot to inquire about interests in forming an arts council. The enthusiasm inspired me to write to the local and state senators and put invitations in the local paper to start meeting monthly at the Tygart Lake State Park Lodge. They were a success. I met the inspiring new arrivals, Thea and Blaine Porter who accelerated the momentum. We began fulfilling a public need for creative expression by developing the Premier 1997 Memorial Day Juried Fine Arts Exhibit at the courthouse in Grafton, West Virginia. For several years TCAC operated under the "umbrella" organization Tygart Valley Development Authority. A few years later, the non-profit organization was incorporated. In 2005, following years of growth in membership, dedication and perseverance, TCAC purchased (for a ridiculously nominal fee) "Gallery 62 West" from another inspiring couple, Lorna Vincent and Sarel Venter. Plans for restoration continued and the roof was repaired, and the facade was painted by the City of Grafton. Today, the gallery continues to be solely supported by volunteers, donations, grants, fundraising and dues.
GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS of MONEY, TIME & SERVICES:
Kevin Stead and the City of Grafton in WV, the Taylor County Commission, Fairmont State University, The WV Division of Culture and History, Pratt & Whitney, J. C. Penney, Dr. Scholl’s Shoes, Walmart - Volunteerism Always Pays (VAP), Mountain Statesman Newspaper, Toothman Ford, Dominion Post, Times West Virginian, Clarksburg Exponent, WBOY Channel 12 & WDTV Channel 5 News, Vue Fine Art & Design and many more.
