Sparks

@rt Room is a website for young people but I'm sure they won't mind if you visit. Authored by University of Florida professor Craig Roland, the site contains "@rt Sparkers" and "@rt Rageous" activities including this instructional page on how to make your own artist book and this one on how to keep a sketch book.

The site is all about encouraging young people to think like artists--"to create, to learn and to explore new ideas, places and things on their own."

Mark Rothko is quoted over there and his words shall serve as our inspirational text for the day:

"Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risks."

Right on.
