This week's foundation lecture was different because artist Ben Volta spoke about how he has a studio but rarely ever works from it. It was a different approach that Volta usually works in the community with students or at home and called his studio a "home base point." Volta's dedication and work that he did with the students at local schools was inspirational and unlike the other artists we've heard from. I loved seeing all of the images of the kids working together to come up with a collaboration of graphic images that were fused together to make a large mural. Ben Volta seems to be a natural teacher who found something that he loves doing that all helps the community. I really enjoyed this lecture because he really added a new level to the typical "studio" lecture.
