A
Practical Guide to Modest Magic showing at the California Center for the Arts in
Escondido from June 1 – Aug17 is mounted in a
beautiful space. Curated by Scott Klinger, an artist,
filmmaker, and Associate Professor of Photography at Palomar College in San
Marcos, CA., this exhibition of college level students’ work is an ingenious idea. Klinger invited a number of art school teachers
to create prompts for a student assignment. From the results of those assignments,
a selection was made for this exhibition.
As a former art student (more than 50 years ago), I still
remember assignments, but we were never given this extent of freedom. My best
teacher instructed me to make art about something that I knew. But it was not
until graduate school, that we were actually challenges to make our own art. I
can see this assignment being the beginning of a whole series for some of these
students.
