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.

6th graders

group: "this is a hopper!"

fellow teacher: "wow, how did you know that so quickly?"

student: "because we saw something that looked like this, [whispers] where the man was harassing the woman."
