art:21

i know we aren't required to critique this site but i just wanted to express my love for this program. i accidentally discovered this show on pbs about four years ago. i barely watch tv due to bad reception. there's only so much telemundo i can watch so when i found this show it was like winning the lottery. even though i don't consider myself as innovated and complex as the artists displayed on the show, i gain inspiration from them and appreciate their quirky and original processes and lifestyles. lately i have visited this site to see the interesting art projects/lesson they provide. helps me brainstorm and think of creative and captivating lessons of my own. this summer i hope to catch up on each season. it's been a while.

  1. we're using the art21 site/episodes for our lesson plans in Curriculum and Instruction! it's a great resource for learning about the work of contemporary artists. the one thing that i've found annoying is that the episode theme/titles don't always really fit the artists in it. oh well, it's still a great classroom resource.
