Finding Arts Place Katie

I liked a couple things about the book "Finding Art's Place." First, I liked that Tim Rollins made his students gather around and have collaborative sessions reading books and figuring out as a group what the theme was. I feel like it probably helped get their creative juices flowing much more quickly than if they had done it on their own. I also liked that they drew pictures from what the story inspired them and not just literal illustrations from the book. I also liked that Sadie Benning started out using a Pixelvision camera after hearing gunshots and seeing her friend get hit by a drunk driver. She mentions that the camera didn't judge her. I think that cinematography is an underused medium to express emotions and ideas. I also liked that she did more "controversial" themes like being a lesbian and speaking on gender roles.
