This Week’s Artist Essay

The Twist: Let’s do it slightly differently for our last Artist Conversation. Yes, look at the art. Yes talk to the artists and get some insights into their work. But this week, instead of writing the usual essay, pick one piece of art in any of the galleries and use it as your inspiration to write a Short Story of some sort. It will probably be a fiction story for most of you. But it could also be non-fiction. You might talk about your own history or any other ideas out in the world that you’d like to explore.


I’ll see you in MM200 and at the SOA Galleries. LMK any questions you have about the Art Activity or the SOA Gallery Creative Story. Or if you’d like any sort of help thinking through your life options!

Composition Rule #1: Be sure to pay attention to what’s behind the people in your photographs. Trees, telephone poles, or, for example, giant “mushroom heaters” can be distracting!
