Where's Art: art to quiet the mind (and a safety harness for the rabbit hole)

British Museum collection online

Annie Dugan's not the first teacher who's thrown out the syllabus as classes moved online.

But when she assigned her students this"mega master list" website* and asked them to find "art that quiets the mind," she didn't know how much she was going to need their results.

Incidentally, Annie writes:

*I recommend going down the rabbit hole with a prompt in mind. One of my favorite artists ever is Agnes Martin and one of my favorite quotes of hers is "art that quiets the mind" so that was my prompt as students looked through these links. It was interesting to see the range of what people thought helped them focus and tune out the world.

And if you're up for another dauting list of links, check out the virtual Downtown Duluth Arts Walk from last Friday!

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
