  • "Art is a Verb"

    The “Arts” in Statler Arts recognizes art as a creative process, and not just something you make or an end result. Art as a verb is an idea that resonates with me and is reflected in my work.

    Here is a passage taken from author Eric Booth in his book “Making Change: Teaching Artists and their Role in Shaping a Better World.” In explaining his perspective on he difference between Art vs Entertainment, Eric writes:
    ”Art, on the the other hand, happens outside of what we already know. Inherent in the artistic experience is the capacity to create a new sense of how the world is or might be. That experience of expanding our sense of what’s possible is the artistic experience. Art is a verb. Creating a new sense of how the world is or might be takes imagination; it’s a creative act. It takes artistry to do it— the artistry that all of us brim with, the artistry that teaching artists specialize in activating.”
