student art work
- The following album is a collection of selected student works in progress and completed. We always have a great time in the studio/classroom. At times, it feels like walking through mud ... but when we arrive we all celebrate , sometimes quietly, the challenges that we faced and moved confidently through.
Artists
- A "living" list of images that have come along to influence, to generate ideas and to create approaches.
in process
- Keeping the ' ...art spirit alive...' as Robert Henri says, requires attending to the creative place in myself everyday.
good listening

Making Thinking
Looking through what we have accomplished this year so far, and I mean when I say we, my students and I. The words agency and agent and making have come through very clearly. How is what I am teaching now different in some way from the way I was teaching before. The endeavor is to create and maintain the ongoing contextual touchstone for the students. Searching around really to see what is up, I found this wonderful blog post from Agency by Design and Making Thinking. There are times in the classroom that I feel imparting the responsibility to the visual world--meaning what we put out there matters--is all I am really teaching. And sometimes that is enough. Making thinking and AbD are very interesting movements in the studio practice approach to art education. They bring a social responsibility to art making.
This is a great view into making thinking and design thinking. http://makingthinkinghappen.wordpress.com/tag/agency/
