| Introduction | I initially developed the Art shares blog into a regularly updated showcase and repository to organize and share all of these inspirational ideas, but the blog quickly took on a life of its own. I realized that the blog could become its own creative laboratory. I wanted to emphasize student works in progress, capturing raw ideas in their most elementary form, laid bare before the application of shading and polish and final touches. By interleaving student-generated submissions with photos of students’ works in progress, my goal is to emphasize that all great works of art start with something much simpler, sometimes a fragmented sketch or juxtaposition of forms, or just a simple texture. There is no failure in the art process, and a student must be ready to realize that a stumble can turn into a masterpiece. In addition, I hope that students and educators will come together by offering supportive feedback and contributing to the Art shares blog. Feel free to make suggestions or comments to my art students’ process page. |
