The Multi-Tasking Series
Rendering Indifference

It is said that artists magnify those things that the larger community doesn't take notice of. Many artists find beauty or interest in the mundane, the ordinary and the natural world. Through practice and the process of discovery they learn to "tune in" to their surroundings. The blog links below are used in my art appreciation classes as a place to document the non-artist's process in developing this ability.

By making the commitment to see, to find beauty or interest in something seemingly insignificant, participants become engaged in their surroundings and to some extent enlightened by their world.
