I love it!<BR/><BR/>Beverly - Interesting observation, I didn't intend "outsiders" to mean anything besides 'people outside the class'. However, I think a discussion of 'outsider art' in the classroom would be a great activity, since it can be a pretty elusive definition. Even looking at your blog (great, btw) reminds me of some of the complications - what is outsider art? Once an 'outsider' establishes themselves as an 'artist', are they still an 'outsider artist'? If we believe that anyone can be an artist, how can there even be an 'outsider art'? <BR/><BR/>Fascinating topic.

I just wish you did not call them "outsiders". Since this is an art class, the students should be learning the true meaning of the phrase "outsider artist" in the art world.Beverly Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923162649119191171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12834001.post-28342747300858084412009-01-07T13:03:00.000-08:002009-01-07T13:03:00.000-08:00Just checked into the robots & monsters site- ...Just checked into the robots & monsters site- what a fantastic idea- and it would be a great art lesson at any grade level.
