So although I haven’t been very diligent in this blog quest, I am trying to turn a new leaf and share and reflect on my creativity more regularly.
First on the agenda, I’d like to share about the art gallery fieldtrip. I really enjoyed this fieldtrip. This was the 3rd organized art gallery fieldtrip for me – 2 with the education program, and 1 I organized for the daycare I worked at. With each trip, I am amazed at my level of enjoyment, especially because I seem to have a preconceived notion that is always in the back of my head, that is that art galleries are boring and stuffy. Yet each time I have attended an art gallery tour I acquire new insights into interpreting art. I suppose this is one of the elements of the tours that I enjoy the most. To me, looking at the art and interpreting it in my own way (no mistake here – my interpretation may be far off from the artist’s intention, and honestly that is fine with me) reminds me of other activities I have always loved such as finding pictures in clouds and looking at the stars at night. In a way, interpreting clouds and stars is like interpreting art.
Of course, I also love making the art. I have always liked making things and the way the art gallery connects the art we see and interpret with the art we make creates a lot of meaning for me. It will definitely be my goal to reproduce this connection with my students.
Lastly, I’ve included my picture (or I am going to try to) of me with my boat art I made at the gallery. As you can see I am so proud of it! For those of you whose picture was also taken, I will be posting those pictures on facebook shortly so that you can access them and comment about them as well – sorry I haven’t made them available to you sooner.
