Could NOT refuse

I just bore witness

to a pregnant teen coming out of Community Links H. S.. I wonder what Karyn's position is on teen pregnancy. And, what's yours? 

Last post: last thoughts

I've been thinking a lot, lately, about art education & new technology. I can see how technology may contribute to the art-making process. The virtual accessibility to creativity may propel a student's imagination. Or a website project might may result in more, ongoing projects. 
But moreso than that, I think it is important to consider new technology as an all-inclusive platform for communication with today's youth. I know that some of us may be more analogcentric, but I ask that you consider the weight of the context in which your audiences (your students & their parents) are living in.

this week's sites review

SFMOMA
Upon opening this blog, I was disappointed by the content on the front page. It seemed sorta random, sorta like a conversation in a hallway. Then, I read the 'about' page to find out that, that's exactly the point. Oh....OK, now I like it. I like the historical and geo-specific concept that is based on. Call me old fashioned.

IMA
The IMA blog had more concentrated parameters to work with. It was clean and airy enough for me to navigate through, without feeling overwhelmed. Photos and videos are definitely the new way to present information, and this blog does it well. Recent comments and tweets do a nice job of rounding out the archives and categories on the right side of the blog. I can appreciate the fact that a search for 'graffiti' turned up some interesting articles and resources. Good job.

Eye Level
Even though Eye Level is in blog form, the content just seemed boring to me. The pictures seemed stagnant; the illustrations, dated. Sorry Eye Level, but YOU ARE FIRED!
