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.

5th graders

student: "so there are some things in the african art section."

"....like what?"

student: "things that we don't talk about very often."

"i don't understand what you mean."

student: "things like this. like the top part. we don't talk about those things."
