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

"so what does this object look like?"

student 1: "i see a buwd!"

"a bull. okay...well what do you see that makes you say a bull?"

student 1: "a buwd!"

"okay, what makes you say that?"

student 1: "the nose."

"so some of you think this is a human, some of you think it's a bull."

student 1: "A BUWD!"

all other students: "he's saying bird..."
