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

[this class has been studying the now-deceased American artist, Romare Bearden]

"so let's take a look at this piece and --"

student: "excuse me, i have a question"

"yes?"

student [pointing to older male security guard by the elevators]: "is that Romare Bearden?"

"um, no. that's nick, the security guard. mr. bearden isn't here today."
