Encountering Art on a Daily Basis

Today was a day that I did not have a chance to READ about art or visit a museum. Adhering to my commitment to encounter art on a daily basis, I took the time to watch a great episode of ART 21 (Season 3 Episode 4) called PLAY.

This episode began with Grant Hill explaining how people are used to watching athletes play but are not used to watching artists play, watching their experimentation. This episode follows contemporary artists through their experimentation, through their play, as they work to create their masterpieces. Grant Hill makes a great point! We are used to seeing the final product of an artist, not the steps the artist takes in making decisions about how to make the art. The video is a refreshing glimpse into the mid of the artist.

Art 21 is a great way to get to know and artist and understand THE ART MAKING PROCESS!
