Jayna - thanks for your comments. I don;t choose to "think" critically about
art and philosophy - I just want to understand and know why. Yes I still
make art but would
feel unfinished if all I did was minimal art - someone else described it as
the process
not the product being most important - the whole process - and that I
understood.
I teach my art students to think and question art and to problem solve. I
wouldn;t
teach the minimalist movement until college because too many younger students
would love to
do minimal art and not learn all the other that there is to learn before . I
think the most
famous minimal artists started out with alot of product showing and as they
evolved
they became more process oriented. I will always question why and try to
learn more. Roberta
