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.

1st graders

"so if you were in this painting, describe room around you."

student 1: "well, i think i'm in a place for only adults would have fun."

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

student 1: "there are no kids around!"

student 2: "why is there a bathtub in the middle of the room?"
