One of the most exciting aspects of teaching is that I get to see what a variety of artists do with the ideas I bring. These ideas are gleaned directly from artists and artworks through history, and from artists teaching and making engaging work right now. This shared information functions as seeds for new artworks, and I get to see these new artworks created in my class.
Occasionally we see finished pieces, but class projects are usually works in progress, full of the excitement and potential of people experimenting and trying new approaches.
I suppose I’ve been feeling a little hemmed in lately, not getting to have our art shows to celebrate these creations, all while League artists have been growing and developing as an artistic community. You may have noticed through these V. Notes that I can’t keep a good idea to myself, so I made a new way to share what’s happening inside my classes: I started an instagram page @ruthievstudents. On this page I’ll be sharing some of the fascinating and inspiring artworks created in class.
These artworks are a random grab of whatever caught my eye in the moment, with credit given to the artist. Please check it out! If you see something that interests you please leave a comment. If you see your own artwork there, please feel free to tag and share!

I recently posted about my happy obsession with The Great Pottery Throwdown. Rich Miller is one of the regulars on the show; first as the kiln technician, then later as a judge, holding equanimity while the other judge bursts into tears. I liked the clear style of his critiques so I looked up his work, …
You may have heard about Japonisme – the influence Japanese art had on Western art in the 19th century, after Japanese ports reopened in 1854, having been closed to the West for over 200 years. I posted about 8 Great Artists Inspired by Japanese Art a while back. Artists like Van Gogh, Degas, and Toulouse Lautrec …
I’d like to also mention Wendy Lumsdaine, for her stitch sketches. Every one of her posts has been a tondo! Inspired? There’s still time! Every doodle counts! Start where you are, and make something. Not a perfect something, just a something. Something is infinitely more than nothing, and that’s a big win for us …
