Regarding the origin of the Art Form method. Brian Stanfield's edited book - *The Art of Focused Conversation* has an Introduction titled "The Origin of a Method". In this explication, Stanfield describes Joe Mathews development of the Art form process and points to particular real life happenings in Joe's life that contributed to his involvement with this approach.(p.2) It is quite definitive and links cleanly with ORID. This has been my source for a number of years. It's a good story and I'm sticking to it. On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 12:41 PM, via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

from the point of view of Imaginal Education and Imaginal Learning.
As I heard it, he asked Is there a difference between an Art Form Conversation and ORID question - and- someone just mentioned a "spirit question".
What is the difference between an art form conversation, an ORID conversation, a spirit question?
Jan Sanders, I know, was recently asked by her teachers and principles at Aruba University why the conversation was called "art form" conversation. It sent her looking back into Brian Stanfield's work and Susan Langer's cultural mythology and meaning making.
Does someone have a generous answer?
