Marianne Goyette: Process & Practice

I have been an art educator for twenty-six years and never grow tired of teaching and learning alongside my students. I have taught at private, public, charter, independent and corporate art studios.

As a child, I loved sitting in the cool grass, watching the passing clouds overhead. As each cloud shifted and changed with the blowing wind, I would imagine that the clouds could turn into all kinds of different people, animals and objects. I thought that these images drawn from the cloud shapes were a kind of message sent to me from somewhere else.
My mother often interrupted my silent gazing to ask, “What do you see in the sky?” I really wanted to tell her the very long and elaborate list I had created in my head but often I simply could not find the words to express all of it properly. Observing the world, as a quiet child, I found myself drawn to art making. It was a useful tool. By making a picture, people had a glimpse of what was going on in my mind. In a way, I felt like they could see what I was seeing and at long last, finally understand me. As I grew older, I was labeled an artist by family, friends and teachers due to my strong need to make pictures. However, I often felt that all people were creative. Aren’t we all artists due to the fact we observe, build, assess and ultimately need to document some form of communication? |
