26/365: Art is...

Today I made:

a collection...
a young person's thoughts on art
I am collecting words! That is nothing new for me really, but now the focus of my collection is words about ART. Today during tutoring, my brilliant young friend and I did a little free writing (inventive spelling encouraged ;) and brainstormed some adjectives about one of our favorite topics. Those are her words on the left. It's interesting to see how young people articulate what art is to them. I'm particularly excited by the variety in her responses! Her idea of art being forgiving really speaks to me today.

I have a plan for a project that will cover the walls of my dream studio. It stems from my love of words, typography and collaborative art. So beginning today, I'm gathering words that describe art, creativity and self-expression. Anything goes here. Please make your own meaning and share your thoughts. Art is...
