I've been getting a taste of what I'm missing by devouring Diane Ragsdale's terrific series of blog posts about the course she is teaching on Approaching Beauty for business students at UW-Madison. You'll burrow down rabbit holes of gorgeous videos, cerebral reading lists, and provocative artist talks. Too personal? Too subjective?

We're working at my museum on a strategic approach to our educational outreach with K12 classes and students.

Here are some of the comments on the "why" behind their involvement: [Khan Academy has] a hugely generous vision and commitment to rethinking education—our mission is “a world-class education, for anyone, anywhere”—not to mention brilliant programmers and staff.

At the time, I was a program director for an arts education program and a facilitator of career counseling workshops for artists. A lot of things have changed since 2002. Likewise, I feel like there are more books, websites, movies, classes, etc. out there to inspire people and give them the tools they need to create change.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public.

We tested five versions of the prompt sheets--some with instructions focused to the subject of the exhibition (artists' takes on nature), others with more open-ended instructions designed to encourage a broader range of responses.

My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents'' savings were being spent on my college tuition. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.
