Selfies with Art
There is some thing magical about viewing art in-person.
I love to visit art museums. The thrill of discovering new works. The inspiration that comes from being surrounded by art. The exitement of finally seeing a “friend” I’ve known, but never met. I’ve started capturing those moments of viewing favorite artwork in-person. I share these with my students to give them a sense of scale (all artwork is as big as a screen until viewed in-person) and to share my passion for art.
