simply asking "what do you see?" can elicit surprisingly insightful responses.

this is a collection of some of these insights that i've encountered while teaching at an art museum and in the community.

newer entries come from a new program called "the art of looking," that brings mobile art galleries to disabled adults and children.

just a reminder, the entries do not reflect personal commentary on art pieces or collections.

3rd graders

"what do you see?"

student 1: "i see a D, for dwayne."

student 2: "i see a M, for makayla."

student 3: "i see a S, for simone."

"wow, so do think this artist knew all your names when painted this?"

students: "um, yeah."


Number 13A: Arabesque - Jackson Pollock
