Hello world! Here's a story hot off the press from the pages of Juice Magazine. For those curious about the woman in the frame, it's Evidence late mother who passed away a couple of years ago. She was a very talented photographer and loving person whom Evidence cared for very deeply. I had the privilege of being invited to Evidence's home in Venice, CA to shoot him for this story. He was very generous to have shared with me prints of photographs his mother had shot of him as a child as well as her commercial and personal work. Her work was powerful and poignant. Thank you to the homie Evidence for his hospitality and great interview.

Hello world! A couple of years back my homie Angelo and I linked up with a young talented group of guys known as the Far East Movement. My first impression of them was that they were talented, hard working, authentic, and genuinely good guys. In the years since then I've been a witness to their rise in the industry. Today I got the news that their hit single "Like A G6" off their debut LP went platinum. I love to see the good guys win, and it makes me extremely proud of them to hear of their success. Furthermore, they are the first Asian group to be certified platinum in the United States. Congratulations!

"Angeles in Disguise" Photoshoot with Jorge Peniche, Produced by Oliver Brian from True Artistry Group on Vimeo.

ART VS SCIENCE

2010-09-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

Hello world! I've been slow on posting new content the last couple of months because I've been busy working on my new website and on personal projects for the end of the year.

Earlier this year in March I was invited to College for Creative Studies in Detroit to speak on the subject of Art and its impact on our society. When presented with the subject I reflected on my personal experiences and really analyzed the current education system and its lack of emphasize on promoting individuality through creative thinking.

The summary below served as an outline for my speech during the College's "Art or Die" week.

ENJOY!

________________________________________________

Good afternoon everyone,

My name is Jorge Peniche, I’m a photographer and writer from Los Angeles, CA.

I’d like to thank B.A.R.T. and the College for Creative Studies for inviting me to speak today. I’m very humbled and honored to be able to share my thoughts on the subject of art education in our public school system.

I’m genuinely passionate about this matter because I’m a product of the public school system, and was fortunate enough to have teachers who emphasized the importance art plays in our lives.

In fact there’s one elementary school teacher who stands out in my experience. Her name was Maureen Manning, or Ms. Manning as I know her.

I was fortunate enough to be selected in her hybrid class in 3^rd grade. Ms. Manning’s class housed both 3^rd and 4^th grade students under the same roof. Many parents expressed their concern with the design of the class because it was a first of its kind at our school. What most parents were unaware of at the time was that Ms. Manning was far from conventional and by no means could be considered ordinary, and I say this respectfully.

Ms. Manning was a tall, stocky, redheaded woman in her mid-40s. To some she was intimidating because of her stern demeanor, and large build. Myself personally I respected her because I made the clear distinction between her and the teachers I’d had before her.

The distinction I soon came to discover was that she distanced herself far from the rules of conventional thought because she understood the importance her role-played in the development of her students. Her aggressive and passionate approach to teaching was heightened because she knew that perhaps she would be the only person brave enough to plant the seed of creativity in her students. While other teachers followed the hierarchy of subjects, she placed emphasis on all subjects equally including the arts.

In the first hour of class while most students where buried in their textbooks, our class was learning ballet and listening to different types of music. We learned how to plié, quatrieme, tombé and many other movements of dance. We also listened to different types of music, everything from Enya and George Winston to the Beatles. Music and dance were definitely held in the same level of importance as math, science and writing.

I was fortunate enough to have Ms. Manning as my teacher for 3^rd, 4^th and 6^th grade.

In the years I was in Ms. Manning class we always had the most amazing class setups for Open House or Parent-Teacher night as some people know it.

In 3^rd grade we learned about the Native Americans and Spanish Conquistadors. We converted the class into a visual piece illustrating the world of both the Native American people of California and the Spanish conquistadors.

We created beautiful murals illustrating the world which once existed in the land we roam today. We also created small marvels from paper mache and different color paper to build huts that represented the varying design for tribes such as the Chumash, Milwok, and Mohave. For the Spanish Conquistadors visual, we created small-scale versions of Spanish Galleon ships using our classroom tables and large colored paper and fabric.

Parents walked into the converted classroom and were in complete fascination with the sets their children created. Needless to say our class became the main attraction that year, and also the years that followed.

In fourth grade we studied the California Gold Rush. After having attracted so much attention the year before, we knew that we had to raise the bar again. Our class along with Ms. Manning took on the task of converting our classroom into a mine. We laid blue tarps on the ground covering the floor completely before shoveling in dirt from outside our classroom. Following that students and parents scoured markets and appliance stores for different size boxes that would act as the foundation for the mines we were set to create.

Slowly but surely our class began to convert into a mine with all the workings. Every box, pack of gold glitter, and layer of paper mache contributed to the final product which again left parents and teachers in awe.

Students and parents alike at that point began to take notice that perhaps Ms. Manning was far from ordinary.

In 5^th grade the focus was Astronomy, and this time around I found myself with a new teacher. She was by no means to be confused with Ms. Manning. She was very traditional in her approach to teaching. Her lessons were dry, and sometimes challenged my intelligence but never stimulated my imagination or creativity. At the end of the year I was glad to be out, and excited to return with Ms. Manning. My final year in elementary with her proved to be another one I’d never forget.

This time around we dived into the world of Pop Art studying influential figures such as the genius minds of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. I was fascinated with the creativity which fueled the Pop Art movement. The colors, the compositions, and the significance of each visual piece intrigued me and opened my eyes to a world I was unfamiliar with before.

For my final open house with Ms. Manning we created large-scale replicas and original Pop Art pieces on large refrigerator boxes painted first with white paint, and then painted on with the vibrant hues of each piece. Our class was too small of a venue to house our visual pieces so we held our open house session at our schools’ cafeteria. This was the first time in the school’s history that any class had held their open house outside of their classroom.

In the ensuing years I have had several great teachers and professors, but none that I could honestly say influenced me more then Ms. Manning.

She taught me, as well many other students that the world was not black and white, but in fact it was multi-faceted and that our creativity and imagination was as important as our academic capacity. Moreover she opened our eyes to the world of art, dance and music. Perhaps a world many of us would have never been exposed to in our young or adult lives. Lastly she unveiled the creative capacity that each one of us possessed and challenged us to innovate in whatever we decided to do in our lives.

Today I’m 22 years old and will graduate college in June with a bachelor’s degree in Communication. My scholastic journey is coming to an end, and my journey into the real world is peaking over the horizon.

At this point in my life many realities are beginning to manifest themselves. The questions of responsibility, family, and basic survival in the real world are eminent in my daily thoughts.

Although I’ve made my round through the public school system already, I worry about the future. I think about my younger cousins, my nephews, and eventually my children.

It’s very distressing to know that many art programs are being cutback at our public schools here in the United States. I feel that it is a great injustice that students aren’t given the opportunity to know a world outside of math, science and writing.

I compare what is currently happening to our school system to a toddler’s development. As toddlers we throw bottles, spill drinks, color on walls, and do far-fetched things such as eat dirt. Parents often times react in an uproar of fury because they have to clean up the spilled drink or pick up the bottle the toddler threw.

Parents scold their children and tell them that what they did is wrong. Surely there is some validity to their statement, but what they fail to realize is that the toddler is learning through experimentation.

As a toddler we learn about gravity by throwing things, and we learn about taste and smell by eating everything in site. It is this very unique curiosity and naive nature that allows us to discover and learn.

Similar to toddlers, children and adults learn through discovery as well.

In our current education system there exists a hierarchy of subjects. At the top are mathematics, science, and writing, and then at the bottom lies the arts. The hierarchy of subjects dictates that the most useful subjects for work are at the top.

This hierarchy is a result of an education system developed in the 19^th century designed to meet the needs of industrialism. In almost every way it is modeled on the values, ideas, and interest of an industrial economy. For the most part our current education system ignores the nature of individual talent and ability. It is more concerned with conformity and uniformity.

It is also based on an old idea of intelligence and economic need and purpose. I don’t believe that the system deliberately suppresses individual talent, but it is systematic.

The outcome of such an education system hinders creativity and seals individual capacity based on standardization.

Every education system on earth echoes their concern with raising standards in education, and as a result they initiate some type of reform. The only problem is that it’s been reformed, but never truly transformed because they continue to follow the guidelines of an old model.

The definition our education system has for intelligence has been sadly confused for academic ability. The reason for that again is because it’s easier to measure how one performs in math and science then it is to measure someone on their artistic and creative ability. Our measure for intelligence needs to evolve to meet the needs of our world today.

Imagine a world based merely on academic ability and performance. Imagine a world with no art, imagination, or creativity beyond numbers and letters. Most of human culture would have never happened. There would be no practical science, no technology, no business, no art, music, dance, or architecture. We would have no feelings, and therefore would be unable to love.

Surely this is an extreme way of illustrating my point, but I think it allows us to create a space where we can really reflect on the measure of human intelligence.

The system we are using today might have worked in the 19^th century, but surely it does not adequately address the world with live in today. In the 21^st century we need to accept a totally new concept of intelligence, creativity, and talent.

Not everyone is meant to be a professor, a doctor, or a lawyer. Maybe some people are meant to be photographers, painters, musicians, or choreographers. In theory school is supposed to guide us towards discovering what we are good at doing. The problem is that perhaps our options are limited to certain career paths because we are only taught certain things to be important.

No one ever says you should be a musician or a painter. Instead they say you should excel in Math and Science and become a doctor or scientist specializing in some field.

The problem in limiting ones resources is that you don’t allow them to discover what they are really good at, and more importantly what they love to do.

Perhaps more people would find their passion early on if you had art programs that gave people other options aside from the traditional curriculum. I’ve met way too many people both young and old that are still are uncertain in what it is they love to do.

In fact there are people who have graduated college with a degree in something they have no genuine passion or interest in pursuing. You have grown men and women who are stuck in their offices making a decent income, but aren’t happy in their profession.

It is widely know that people innovate and create their best work when they love what they are doing. Having a natural capacity for something is definitely important, but it’s also about loving it. We don’t know what we love until we discover it.

Naturally the topic of education incites a lot of mixed feelings similar to politics and religion. The reason for this debate is large in part due to the fact that math and sciences have been separated from the arts for many years in our education system. This separation has created a conflict in which people either chose one side or the other.

In reality these two sides can co-exist, and more importantly they compliment each other. Some of the most extraordinary creative scientists like Albert Einstein always said they thought visually, and music helped them to think differently. In turn some of the most accomplished musicians think very mathematically. The distinctions we create between the “two worlds” are really merely figments of our imagination.

To end my discourse I will leave you with a well-known quote from Albert Einstein which I feel coveys the overall theme and message of what I’ve discussed.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Thank you to the students at the College for Creative Studies for their inspiration!

Today I visited the resting place of Eazy-E, the godfather of gangster rap. Eazy-E challenged authority, pushed the confines of freedom of speech, and put Compton on the map. He was a true pioneer of not only hip-hop, but music and culture all around. His early departure from the world 15 years ago is a terrible tragedy, but his legacy continues to live on through his music and his fans all around the world.

The world will forever echo the phrase

"I love documenting hip-hop culture. From the moment I was introduced to hip-hop I swore my loyalty to it. The culture is rich and transcends all racial and economic barriers. It represents the struggle echoed around the world, and the celebration of life and success. I am an active member of the culture who is privileged to document the new chapters of a movement which continues to capture the hearts and minds of people around the world."
