Tad Gembala's Blog

Norman Rockwell's studio at the Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, MA.

Tad Gembala has been publishing his latest papers to his own blog "All Things Tad Gembala"
Tad has generously said it is okay to invite the class over to his blog to see what he has been writing. What do you think? Right now you are e-mailing me your papers and I am building folders for each of you. Two issues arise: - In a studio art class, all of the student work is public... students create art in a studio setting. All members of the class benefit from interacting with each other in creating their artwork. Students mentor each other as much as the instructor. When work is sent to me privately, others don't get to benefit and I really think everyone's work improves when each member of the class contributes and helps each other. Why couldn't we do the same with our papers?
-When you take responsibility for posting your own papers, you have more ownership over the process... a good outcome, indeed.

What are your thoughts?

Jerry I have no problem with it. Infact I think I would like reading a full apaer more then just the short blog. It would give everyone a better look at the work and what someone feels about it.
