Happy thought for the week:

A Photo II student told me how much she loved the zine assignment.  This was Monday.  She said that when I introduced it, she was confused and lost.  But after getting it, she loves it.  Thank goodness!!!  That is precisely what I was going for.  I wanted to introduce something so new and foreign to them that they would be absolutely perplexed.  Zine culture in itself is so totally unknown at PV.  But through their explorations, they come to understand it and like it.  So the assignment as well as the medium is a cultural exploration.  Hooray for the road trip of discovery!
