Eric Hurtgen
speaking to the students

"Work with good people.
It makes your work better."
Eric Hurtgen

     Artist/Musician Eric Hurtgen shared his thoughts Thursday-the final speaker for the year. Eric said,

“Information creates calluses on our mind that can lead to cynicism.” 

To combat this thought, I believe educators are called not to provide students with answers, but rather challenge them with better questions.

Here are a few questions for my students:

     What are you trying to say? For what purpose?

     Is your work inviting (from which side does the

            door open) or, does it say, “Go away!” ?

     Does your piece show good use of material or

            is it wasteful?

     Is what you are trying to say valid?

     Is your work a statement or a conversation?

     Does your work allow room for the viewer to participate?
