Response to Scratching

According to Twyla Tharp scratching is a way of changing your environment and trying to find new and more exciting ideas or inspirations to express yourself. Essentially Tharp suggests to scratch you must not try too hard to think of that one big idea, but instead grow off the small ideas and use them to create that big idea. I beleive Tharps suggestions, when applied to me working with art in a studio, will inspire to take that step back when I'm lost for inspiration and go from there.

Response to The Artist's Studio

The most common thing I saw in artist's studios were mostly bins, desks, basic materials such as scissors and glue, and other kinds of shelves to try to make an attempt to organize everything. Otherwise, each artist's studio spoke to each artist individually. The reason for the wide variety of artist studios is obvious: every artist works and thinks differently so they need different items and ways to organize those items.

Response to Artists at Work

Artists develop spaces and methods for making their artwork by creating their spaces around what they will need to produce thier best work. For instance, a sculpture would have plaster, metal rods, and lots of strong materials to use to make strong sculptures. While a painter would fill his or her studio with paint buckets, brushes, and canvases.
