@RosiannaRojas It was torture

Feeling uninspired? You're not alone. @sionapeterous seeks answers and shares some remedies, including mine. npr.org/2021/12/06/106…

@moonyriott @johngreen Bravo!! Well done!!

Inspired by @johngreen's bonus video this week and all the incredible collages from the @artassignment; I had to make this for all of you.

@sparkleglitch13 @sarahuristgreen So happy to hear this, Eris. I'm not sure any of us really find peace, but hope! Hope is the thing.

@sarahuristgreen I just wanna say your work on @artassignment has helped me so much. I struggle hugely to value myself and my work, but your videos help ground me and give me hope. I’m not sure I’ll ever find peace, but you are helping me along the way. Thank you.

Do you need distraction from national and global events? I do. Please join me for this free live Q&A organized by @everywomanUK on Weds Nov 4, 10am EST / 3pm GMT: everywoman.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

This usually transpires in real space, but I'll 100% take virtual this year. I picked some of the work of SAIC grads that stood out to me the most, and I encourage you to check it out, too.

It's true. Why aren't all museums actively reckoning with this reality? It's not a matter of if it must happen, but when. ICYMI:

@VictorAndStuff you're welcome?

Ben Denzer has made many an atypical book, recently binding together one roll of Charmin toilet paper. New video, new assignment out now: Make an atypical book and post with #youareanartist: youtu.be/42dvTa9Mlq0

(you didn't think I could go on break and not leave you with something to do, did you?)

Your assignment: 1. Make a book that is atypical in terms of its form or material 2. Share it here or on Insta with #youareanartist

If you support us on Patreon (thank you!), we have some updates over there. Just gettin ready for our break, and want to keep you in the loop: bit.ly/2D9HK4X

What a joy to share this outstanding poem, which I had to memorize in high school and have been unable to forget.

The GIF in the previous tweet has so many artworks in it, that we can't fit all attributions in a single tweet! So here's a screenshot of them all.

Art is, and has been, so many things. How do we even begin to define it? Is it worth even trying? Our new video is out exploring THE DEFINITION OF ART, a topic we’ve resisted for years but wanted to address before we break. youtu.be/b2VpNx5ZxSA

@iSmashFizzle Wise words, Ashley (although I misread this at first and had a good laugh). And thank you!!

@HalloranPJ Thank you thank you!

@artassignment You’ve added so much to how others think about art in their daily lives. I hope this well-deserved respite allows you to enjoy and explore the important things in your life!

THREAD: After 6 years and 220 videos since the Art Assignment began, we’re announcing that we are going to ➡️ Take a few months off ➡️ Dramatically slow down production Why? I’d love to share some reasons. youtube.com/watch?v=T6IyOU…

@lovingmilez2 Thank you!

@artassignment Thank you so much for the content you’ve provides over the past 6 years. I always enjoy them and learn so much, get different perspectives into all types of art. We all need time to ourselves and you much deserve it <3
