Great writing. Deeply personal & reflective. Inspiring & engaging

Nonfiction is always a slower read than fiction, but I love Art and I love brain science, so it's a challenge, but one I'm enjoying.

Haven't read any Kurt Vonnegut for a long time. It's great to be reminded of why I love him so much.

Fascinating. 30+ years ago she foresaw dark times for us in the 2020s. Challenging look into society, community, family, tradition, institutions and religion. Certainly not your typical coming of age story.

Gotta remember, it's not what you teach, it's how you have students process that content. Not just art history, but as an art historian. Not just aesthetics, but designing. Not just visual literacy but thinking visually.

"This reason for including Art in the general curriculum- Art educates the imagination- is one of the central ideas in discipline-based art education. Humans understand experiences only when the mind gives those experiences order." Professor W. Dwaine Greer.

Published in 1998 (I started teaching in 1993), from one of the framers & advocates of Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE) that I was taught by such great professors at Concordia University, Nebraska. Art isn't just for a few gifted & talented kids who'll end up being professional artists- Art helps kids think and thinking helps them learn & better curious, which they need for school & for life.

Really enjoying this book.

I notice that it's still April, therefore it's still National Poetry Month. So here's a link to order a sweet little book of poetry on Amazon, either paperback or on Kindle. If you're the least bit interested, but not ready to commit yet, maybe click the "want to read" button on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

For someone who loves both Art and History, this is an exciting, vicarious trip to Paris in the pre-war 30's. Delightful.

SO enjoying this. It may have been just a summer fling, but what a pivotal time; in her life, her career; in art history, in world history…. Fascinating read.
