I loved the websites we had to visit this week for cyberpedagogy. What engaging material and so resourceful. The Brooklyn Museum blog was collaborative and interesting. In fact, it was almost overwhelming to see the list of authors, but so wonderful too. Of course I love the NAEA website... it will be my home base for my career. I think one of the best aspects of this website is easy navigation, loads of info but somehow not overwhelming. Maybe it's the use of negative space and keeping the background white. I dunno but I like it. Finally the Chicago Artists Resource; didn't know about it but love it. The title of this post might mislead you to believe I don't, but don't be fooled, I genuinely do. I guess that's my own little critical eye trying to find something to make it more meaningful for myself. It is a little bit frustrating for me, though, how a lot of artists resources don't include literature, (reading and creative writing), as apart of the arts. Probably just my thing, especially since my thesis is focusing on literacy and art education and I want more research opportunities for myself. But still, language ~ reading and writing are often the foundation of a solid artwork, be it theater, dance, music, or visual.
Aces!!!

First up...Nice sidebar!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the sites this week. Chicago Artists Resource is a great one and a total must for anyone working in the arts in chicago. and the Brooklyn Museum site is amazing. If I ever move back to NY, I'm totally heading over there and begging for a job. :) They do amazing work in the community and are one of the 'models' i look to for innovative work.
Interesting point about literature. It's true that it's not thought of often as part of the arts, but text and writing so often do cross over into all artforms. plus, i know quite a few artists who could use a writing course or two to brush up on their language skills.
literature section COMING SOON on CAR site!!! stay tuned...
ReplyDeletei totally agree with you... that is why i like to have friends like you who can recommend movies and literature by the great directors and authors!!! and then we can discuss after! maybe you should start a blog on only recommending and critiquing aspects of art that are less circulated??
ReplyDeleteyou are theeee best
