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.

2nd graders


"so what kind of sounds do you hear?"

student 1: "screams. like from a rollercoaster!"

"great! does this look like a place you would want to be?"

student 2: "no! i already had an ear infection, so why would i want to go to a place that would hurt my ears?"

student 3: "i just went to a justin bieber concert and it was like this!"

student 4: "the concert wasn't that good."
