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.

kindergarten class

"so what kind of art do you want to see today?"

student: "dinosaur bones!"

"we don't have bones here, but we may have some cool paintings about that time period?"

[minutes later, when reviewing the rules of the gallery]

"so are there any other gallery rules that we can think of?"

student: "last week, i was eating turkey and i pulled out a bone and i put it in a box."
