What better way to start out then school year than to take a walk of inspiration though the Detroit Institute of Arts.
I'm sharing some of my inspirations with you.
This is a great conversation piece and I love the quote by the sculptor Barry Flanagan. I am going to post that in my classroom.
My students are urban students and many may see a lot of the materials that I took photos of before.
Some of these works using familiar materials may both speak to the students about art and also repel them. That to me leads to a great discussion.
Using materials that are found or discarded is a way to make art wherever you are and whatever your budget. My professor John Rush told me to "make art with whatever I had." This also is what drives my art inspirations sometimes and I think that students can relate to that.
This enormous piece of art is made entirely of cardboard.
My students are all students of color, so this work is a great way to get them to think about great works and how it can relate to people in any context.
I think that this is a great way to start out every year, and hopefully the art department will make it a tradition!
