I really like the idea of this commonplace book...a place to collect my thoughts and ideas and respond to questions and assignments from class. I think it's a great idea and a fantastic way to encourage us as students to develop the incredibly beneficial habit of writing down and cataloging our ideas. I like it enough to really want to do this on my own without a specific through-line of art history. (We'll see if that works out...) Not that I find the assigned topic of art history (at least, an extension of our art history class) to be a burden. In fact, I've always wanted to start a place where I can catalog my ideas (especially a blog) but it would seem that my internal motivations for such a project periodically fade and nothing ever really develops to fruition.
So hopefully this will work out, and I can include a few things that don't necessarily specifically relate to class, but at least to art and the concept of art in general.
PS I love this picture, and this photographer. Thomas Hawk, based in San Francisco. Found his work on flickr. I love flickr. So easy to get lost there for hours...
