"I think it's very interesting how learning happens at Art Produce. I think it's really different compared to the teacher-student model that we usually see in education where there is one teacher that teaches all the students. Lynn mentioned "horizontal learning," and I could definitely see that last Saturday [in the community art class ]. I think it's very neat that we can learn just as much from the participants as they learn from going to Art Produce. I want to work in education, so these things are often on my mind."

"At Art Produce I have found making art with the community and participating with many different people has helped me develop a more universal understanding of what art can be. While leading the “Make It Yourself Community Art Class” I watch the progression of participants through their process and development as their awareness of their own art grows. As an artist Art Produce has been a place for me to come and engage with people and art in a new way. Art Produce is constantly expanding my own understanding of what art is every day." |
