Created with the drawings and ideas of all the students from Mr. Moore's computer art class at Galileo High School.

This canvas includes such ideas as a meditation class, a rooftop basketball court, star-gazing class, hypnotism, lots of technology, fun classrooms, free cupcakes, and many more innovations.

Frances Phillips, director of the Creative Work Fund, talked about how her program supports artists to work together with nonprofits. Perhaps if one is applying for a grant, one should draw more flattering pictures of the grant-maker's director.

Students at Galileo High School add to each others drawings in a collaborative conversation. I have asked them to follow their instincts as the write and draw to add to small pieces of art in collaboration with a wide range of my friends, strangers, and other students. It's nice to be able to bring some absurd art into the classroom when I am working as a substitute teacher.

I brought some markers and sketchbooks to CELLspace's 10th anniversary party. It seemed only right, at a party celebrating this arts collective, to try and engage people in some creativity.

Joshua Short and Mable Negrete, who are both very inventive collaborative artists - I mean really, check out their websites and see all the cool projects they've done, graciously spent some time drawing their impressions of CELLspace.

I've got a neat stack of very varied visual responses which I will be incorporating into one painting on canvas of "Our CELLspace."

Ledi Carroll talks about the Mission Lake Project at Southern Exposure's new Mission Street location. Carroll drew a blue line around the area where the Mission Lake once stood. Her artist talk only lasted a few minutes - I wish she had more to say.
