34. Read:
• Chapter 9, “The Art of Being Artless”
Respond in your Journal:
1. Reflect (in at least ONE PAGE) on chapter 9, a
quote or one of the videos shown in class.
2. A number of the artists we discussed seem to
highly value the idea of solitude, which, unlike
loneliness, is something that can often be hard
to come by—or even be disorienting—for many
people today. Why do you think people are
often so uncomfortable with the idea of being
alone—whether in a museum or a crowd, and
how can art help us better appreciate what it
has to offer?
3. Make time to be alone this week. What did you
do/make/think? Was it valuable? Where did
you go?
