(The assignment was simple. On the first day of class I asked my 150 students to write down the first 20 questions that come to mind. I said I though curiosity was vital for success and then asked what they were wondering about. The results are consolidated because there was a lot of repetition. I distributed these back to the kids sans names and we had a great time making art and understanding where our community is wondering around. I find them to be introspective, wholesome, contemporary, edgy, silly, deeply serious, universal and incredibly personal all at once. I hope in addition to inspiring them to follow their own curiosities I have planted a seed of acceptance and community. Enjoy!)
