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

"tell me a story of what's going on here."

student 1: "the king and queen don't want their son to marry the girl in pink. but the girl doesn't care about marrying the guy in purple."

"what do you see that makes you say that?

student 1: "look at her face! she's not even paying attention."

student 2: "yeah, she doesn't give a hoot."
