Renwick Symposium in DC


This show and symposium was a highly influential experience for me as both an artist and art education student. It made me realize that creating and teaching are interconnected because informing an audience in a creative manner through art influences and teaches people’s thinking to inquire about ideas and their community or themselves. It also made me realize the disjointedness of the art world and the art classes we teach. Our Theory and Practice class contained conversation that strived to bridge that gap, but it funny and weird how different those two world are. Why are we preparing our children with art if it doesn’t reflect contemporary art? What world are we dumping them into then?
