My high school AP Art History teacher posted this on facebook this morning- I love stuff like this. Click through for some really creative street art/art bomb projects!

On Absurdly Difficult Assingments
So i have to write an essay about the *single* greatest museum experience I’ve ever had. Just one? Difficult. In the running: The SPAM museum with Yi-re, random St. Charles miniatures museum with Ashley, seeing Guernica and Las Meninas in Spain with Lucy, the freakoid currency museum under the Kemper with Audrey and Elizabeth, the Smithsonians, the super kitschy Museum of Westward Expansion...
Semester Four.
Here is a sneak peek into my new semester, in art historical endeavors:
proposing and applying for a summer research grant to continue on Lee Krasner paper; come February, hopefully, an acceptance letter and the beginnings of more intense, archival research.
a new show to curate in the library cafe gallery on campus.
being a professor’s research assistant and working on the catalogue for...

As a friend talking with his friend, man speaks with God, and drawing near in confidence he stands before the face of the One who dwells in light unapproachable.

Today, 20 December 2011
First of all…20 December? How.
I spent all semester trying to formulate the perfect “here’s what happened this semester” roundup, but it’s already over. (Also, how.) So now it’s break, after a train-like last few weeks with continuous last minute projects (heyo, more art historical all nighters in the last two weeks since all of my academic life, ever) and a...

Look At Me, I'm Crying →
I have a sticky note on my computer of random internet things I’ve accumulated to return to later. I found this today while finally revisiting that sticky note. I don’t even remember putting it there but it was a sweet little surprise…just some thoughts from a NYT columnist on how we make public space private space, share it together, and get little glimpses into the humanity of...

Reassess:
Last big push of the semester. Two finals tomorrow, two last chances to boost floundering grades.
Drizzly day=perfect study weather. Thank you, universe, for focus ambiance.
Incredibly disappointed in self about Non Western Art History class. With a 100 on the test tomorrow, which is likely attainable, scraping by with an A will be possible. Thoughts: to not ace this class means to break my 4.0...

On Motivation: Anis Mojgani, A Needed Kick in the...
this is for the tired and for the dreamers.
like just another night that sits heavy above us all walk into it breath it in let it crawl though the halls of your arms like the millions of years of millions of poets coursing like blood pumping and pushing making you live shaking the dust so when the world knocks at your door clutch the knob tightly and open on up running forward into its...

Yesterday:
Surprised with a delicious coffee during my worst class by a great friend.
Lunched with another wonderful friend, who keeps my creativity flowing. We played with words.
Turned in an ultimately successful sculpture and had an ultimately successful critique.
Got to paint faces for a once in a lifetime drama experience, put on by amazing performers and directed by another dear...

Registration Tomorrow
…if I am able to successfully roll myself out of bed at 6.45. (Why is it that as the year goes on, hours of the day before 8 am are sounding more and more ungodly?)
Fingers crossed for:
Chem 100 (ew, gen ed requirements.)
Trig (ew, more gen ed requirements. Hello, I’m an Art History major.)
Pilates (health requirement…I can handle this!)
The Art of Greece and Rome...

Things I Haven't Done in a While:
Written.
Dislike! It’s going to be janky getting back into the swing of it; with every long pause comes a kindof writer’s block ( “do I remember how to do this?”) but! Blogging’s in my blood! Shouldn’t be too hard to overcome.
Some thoughts:
Want to start writing about art and art history more. Maybe some practice criticism.
There’s that dormant art...
