Video Games! Art! Finally!

Last month the Museum of Modern Art announced they would be including a permanent collection of video games into their museum in March. 

PacMan, Tetris, The Sims, are just a few of the titles that will join famous Picassos, Pollocks and Warhols on the walls of MoMA.

This video by PBS Idea Channel discusses their acquisition and talks about his picks for the 5 most artful video games.

 That begs the question, are video games art? If not, why not? If so, why so? If you had to list what you think are the Top 5 Most Artful Video Games, what would you include on that list?

Doodling is Good For Me!

I hope your summer has been relaxing and enjoyable! I also hope that you haven't completely neglected your brain or body and have taken on some challenges or creative endeavors. If you haven't, you still have a little bit of time {and might I suggest going up to the Akron Art Museum and checking out the El Anatsui Grace and Gravity exhibit running through October 7.}

Of course, we all want summer to last just a little bit longer, but it is hard to deny that soon we will be getting back in the the routine of school, homework, and studying.

So, before I forget I wanted to share this video with you about the positive impact doodling has on human learning...

Take care and I will see you all next month!
