response to guest writer workshop

yesterdays class

well in the beginning of class i was like, this is going to be a long class...
BUT!! then when colby showed us some of the collaborative work he had done with the guest (name? bernard i think?), i became more interested in the presentation. I was also really interested in Joe Halls little coffee shop poetry reading art gallery thing. I know joe hall only through my boyfriend, who had him last semester for creative writing, and we had talked briefly of this little venue or whatever it is that he kind of heads up. Now i am particularly interested in going after hearing the guest talk about it with us. I also liked the fact that we got to see some of our professors work, as most of my other art professors have kept their art separate from their students, which seems unfortunate to me.
I really enjoyed the surrealist games. To be honest i have played these same games in Art history with Joe L, Intro to Visual with Sue Johnson, and now in this class. HOWEVER these games continue to be fun and inspirational every time i play them.
I was also really happy when the guest announced that "if your collage has a message you get points off" this put me much more at ease, and felt that i could be much more creative with less rigid instructions from our guest guy.
I think everyone was feeling inspired when we sat around clipping out of books and magazines with fun music and little instruction. it was a nice bonding night.
All in all i really enjoyed hearing from and spending time with out guest, and i'm glad that he was nice enough to visit.
