CAS Art Gallery
Checked out this pretty interesting exhibition today at CAS art gallery in Livingston Manor. 
hallway mural
Ok Ladies.. so hallway murals? Has anyone had any issues in regards to copyright ? Im in a bit of a pickle, my kids did a really nice mural last year based upon a literature review of the Maurice Sendak classic, Where the Wild Things Are. As of until today, it is enjoyed by students, visitors and staff. I was approached by central office personal and questioned whether I had permission of publishers to “re-create” this painting. The Beatles mural is from the late 60s and is the last remaining mural at ketcham high school- the others have been painted over since ” copyright issues”, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, all of them. I am outraged! I will be devastated if I have to paint over the wild things, as I imagine the kids will be upset as well. Anyone has experience with this ???
New Reading for November 15
It was a pleasure speaking with most of you, and I’m looking forward to see your work in person in the winter session! Many of you have aluded to the difficulty of making art when you are spending almost all your time and energy dealing with under-resourced and sometimes chaotic schools and classrooms. This week, this reading seemed timely. As usual, creative and visual responses are welcome!

New reading for November 14
Here’s an excerpt from Anne Lamont’s Bird by Bird. Its another reading about the creative process, I think you will easily be able to substitute “artist” for “writer.” Does this reading speak to your process? why or why not? How do you work with your “shitty first drafts?”

Here’s a new reading and assignment: both visually and verbally, how can you document and reflect on your creative process?

512: “The Presence of Life in Art” for Sept 30
I’ve posted a new reading— this week try to do both a visual and verbal response — your choice which to emphasize. The reading is Judith Burton, “The Integrity of Personal Experience, or the Presence of Life in Art.” She describes how young children approach art-making, and my question for you is:
How can we find the space, time and mindset to reconnect with our own sense of creative freedom and exploration in the midst of the pressures of adult life? What works for you?
Still inspired by Kentridge guys! The ways of knowing the world…http://www.art21.org/artists/william-kentridge.
My studio kids really enjoyed learning about William Kentridge, they especially enjoyed the video we watched in Beth’s class, I ran it today. About 30 minutes. It was too hot lol! Lots of good responses though, he is a great resource
