Hawkings lecture

The lecture went ok, I feel like they were into it more than they wanted to let on. I felt the majority of them were at least intriqued by the exhibit. I was surprised nobody had questions for the curator about her position or how she got there. I was impressed that the kids linked the exhibit to pop culture and asked about the artist's opinion on Lady Gaga and Twilight. I believe the highlight of the day was when a female student pointed at a zombie head and said "I like that one because he looks like jacob from twilight". Very few questions were asked in the exhibit, but after they were in the class and Annie and Matt started facilitating discussion there was a discussion on why or why not Richard Hawkings created art. I Thought that was very interesting. It did not turn into a debate or a conversation with real depth because again the teens had shorten attention spans (to be expected after listening to a gallery lecture) but they at least started the idea of what makes art, art? very meta for anyone. Then the groups started working, and it looked like they all started shooting, which is good because Matt said that they all had to be shooting by Monday or they would be behind.
