This just in from my 20-year old son, Jesse, a third year digital media student at Hampshire College:
Just recently, I was prompted by one of my art classes to create a social art project. No definition of “social” was provided. We were meant to interpret this as we wished and create art that involves society in some way.
I believe that art is viewed, by many people, as unapproachable. In other words, if you haven’t declared yourself as an ‘artist’, how will you ever create a piece of art? This is the misconception I am working to dispel.
