Really like the blog “definitions” and “question” for this 10/27 & 30 class. Great
anticipatory set! I’m thinking about my correct answer(s) and looking forward to hearing yours and others 🙂 Thanks BTF!
uh-oh…i don’t want to get the answer wrong but I figure maybe, like art itself, there is no one right answer. I guess for me it is a chance “be” with the work that now represents a year’s journey…to see the collective growth and fruits of our endeavors.
It is also a time for me to reflect on the role that this facet of my life plays, to be grateful,
to be joyous.
