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

"so the character you see on the far right is horatio, hamlet's best friend. he's also looking at the king because he is watching his reaction, in case he needs to help hamlet."

[at the end of the session]

"so what was your favorite piece?"

student:
"i liked hamlet because it teaches you to stick by your friends."
