      One of the BIGGEST CHALLENGES I see with 8th graders and your understanding of what art is and what it can be is that you don not have a wide view of the world of the arts. The IMAGE, the PICTURE has to be something and it has to be correct (in many of the 8th graders eyes) and sometimes it can be and should be about the mark making… the act of making art. Sol Le Witt nailed this!

      Week 12 – New Works are coming our way!

      I can communicate in positive ways to get my needs met.

      A day at Expo Chicago brought back a great number of images and ideas… here is one image and then a quote from a different artist. I wish I’d have seen the name of the artist above.

      “It doesn’t matter if the story is precisely true…it’s about you telling the story. It’s almost like going to a rock concert where the audience sings along with the performer. I want the viewer’s experiences to be echoed in the work as they are reflected back in the canvases.”
