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 think they're in a church."

"what do you see that makes you say that?"

student 1: "because the blue crosses look like the windows i see in church"

student 2: "but why isn't she wearing her shoe?"

student 3: "maybe she took it off, maybe she was tired from standing up in church. she only has a half sock on."
