The Journey by Mary Oliver response:
I think this poem can be used to relate to the journey that a lot of artists take, and as educators--really, about any time one chooses to take a path that otherwise deviates from what other people expect of you. "Determined to do the only thing you could do -- determined to save the only life you could save," speaks poignantly to me about you need to do the things that make you the happiest.
Devil Wears Prada response:
"This stuff." I love the way Meryl Streep's character says this, because it's how I react when people ask me about "this stuff" (contemporary art). Art in modern society can be attributed to centuries of art tradition, especially in our visual culture. A lot of the things we see are taken from historical references of art, and art criticism.
