The final reveal! Grace Bonney visits our five artists in Brooklyn one last time to see the final results of their creative adventure at the New York Public Library.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and it has not only inspired me with my artwork, but also with lessons that I can do with my students! As a school librarian this would be a wonderful project to integrate into my curriculum with the visual arts teacher. And also just the inspiration for a summer project that I've needed with my personal artwork!
I never knew that the library could be such a big help in brainstorming ideas. This will help me so much in my upcoming projects!
What a great series! I am truly inspired! I am in the process of curating a book exhibition, and this series has opened up a whole new arena to explore- not just books themselves, but what they inspire! Bravo!
I started my own "journey" back into the libraries where I currently live....
Plus I am also intrigued with the thought of going to the various ART museum libraries which carry a WEALTH of old-out of print-rare books for research & artistic development.
This video series was truly inspirational. I'm a book junky, and love spending hours in the book store, library, or antique stores looking at old books, or books with a vintage feel. There is just a certain knowledge and history in old books, or just books period that a lot of people seem to just toss a side. The best part is skimming over the words, and just looking at the pictures and beautiful type design, but that's just because I'm an artist. :D
I hope to see another series like this, maybe a different library, or maybe just a different set of artists. Either way, I really enjoyed this series. :)
