I MISSED YOU ALL! And I'm serious, I really do want to know what you've been up to. And if you're interested in the Bright Trip course, you can find it here!: www.brighttrip.com/sarah/yt
🤫🖌️🎨🖼️
After 11 months i wondered whether you had issues with covit then a few months later i thought . she's probably a new Mummy that's why you disappeared entirely. I felt neglected.
We missed you too!!!
YOU GAVE ME ART BLUE BALLS MA'AM. I EXPECT SUBLIME CONTENT.
I had just found your channel right before your break. Glad to have you back. During the pandemic I was checking out street murals and art around Boston and found one that I loved that mixed photorealism and shapes. That was fun. Hope to see another video soon (but within reason)!
It's been a busy two years!! And I love your Bright Trip! -John
i love seeing you guys supporting each other in whatever y’all do.
landi sana all
We love it too, John 😊
Nice book in the background!
We love a supportive husband
As Hank likes to remind us - producing joy *is* productive. Forget winning awards, your art produces joy for you and for so many other people. I have a Cosmic Pizza print and absolutely love it!
Alright!! So happy to hear this. John and I are trying to figure out what we can do for the next P4A, and this is good encouragement.
@@theartassignment I'm sure Nerdfighteria will love whatever you decide to do!
@@theartassignment In case you are open to concrete ideas: I bought the greeting cards (I hope that is the correct English wording) with your collages on - and I would love to buy something like that for P4A. I am not in a position where I can afford the original pieces (but maybe one day!), but maybe there could also be a few pieces you make to produce prints of - so that it is cheaper to produce and can be sold to more people? But please only consider it if it would not be a joy sucking task!
I'm so happy to see you back and to know that you haven't disappeared! I'm also, very excited about the super secret projects!
What I've been up to? Well I've been working on some stuff as well.
The Art Assignment inspired me to do something that has now become my career. No, I didn't become a professional artist (nor do I want that), but I became an art history content creator!
Thanks to pioneer creators such as you, Nerdwriter and many others, I can live off of appreciating art. It's an extremely privileged position which I cannot thank the world enough for. You've definitely enable d that (for me and others). Thank you so much!
I have studied art and followed the same creators as you mostly. I have also loved your content. I’d love to make content about art too. Given that you’ve gone through this, I’d love to hear about how you got started.
So glad to hear this! There is so much room on this platform for art history content, and I'm so happy you're here and doing so well with it. Super exciting about the residency as well.
I miss your posts!! This channel really helped me fall in love with Art history and now I’m in college minoring in Art History!
Gah, so great! Art history is an excellent minor :).
My new art development from the last two years is that I've been learning all about book binding! And wow! What a happy rabbit hole it has been! I started out by taking a few book binding courses at a local arts centre and the way it clicked in my brain, where it was challenging but not frustrating or particularly "hard", made it feel so instantly fun. Now I've been visiting different book binding stores, reading about it, and making my own books! I've found that it has completely changed how I appreciate books. While I used to pick up books in bookshops and think "what a great cover!" I'm now investigating how it was bound, how the book feels, etc.
I've also developed a curiosity and fascination with miniature furniture. I've been hosting a show about the history of interior design and in an attempt to add fun visuals without actually buying new furniture I thought it would be cute to get some miniature furniture. Well, that is a pandora's box that cannot be closed!!! I'm dying to go to Chicago to visit the Thorne rooms as soon as I can :)
book binding sounds like an interesting hobby. I might wanna look into it.
I love those niche things so much!!! It's like wandering into a tiny furniture diorama, only to discover it's like the Harry Potter enlargement spell which makes things bigger on the inside, and the thing you thought was simple and small is an entire universe unto itself! Thanks for sharing!
I have a little homemade book press and have made several of my own books with nice leatherbound covers. Making your own custom books is so fun and super rewarding. I love it.
Woah this is cool! What outstanding rabbit holes to explore. I had a stretch of getting really into artist books when I was an intern at the MCA Chicago. Their collection of artist books was technically open to the public, you just had to ask for an appointment. Highly recommend looking for collections wherever you are or wherever you are traveling. They are full of interesting binding ideas! Thanks for the update :).
what a treat to see a video from this channel!
This video made me cry. I hadn’t realised how much I had missed your familiar and friendly voice and seeing the passion you have for art again just made me so happy! I’m so very glad you’re back ❤
I started watching this channel at 11 because it was mentioned on vlogbrothers, now im a 20yr woman in art school- thank you for giving me so many useful frameworks and methods of knowledge acquisition especially as a kid who dropped out in 7th grade I have had a big learning curve and I suspect I am only at the beginning! Best wishes to everyone at the art assignment.
This channel has given so much with such dense videos that I don’t think I can grow tired of going back and rewatching old videos. There is always something new and exciting I pick up on.
This has kept me company over the past 2 years
Thanks Sarah. If it weren't for the high quality and accessible art education you provided on this channel, I would never have started writing creatively ❤️ You inspired me to believe that creativity is available to all of us
Alice, I'm so pleased to hear this! My hope for this channel has always been to inform and inspire creators of all kinds, not just "visual art." The arts are all so interconnected, of course. :)
Really excited about all these updates! Wanted to let you know that you showed my wife and I one of Amber Zuri’s works that was in storage at Butter2 (since the one on display was already sold) and we have commissioned a piece from her that we get to pick up this weekend! Butter and our general increase in art appreciation has been a really important part of our last few years and I’m thankful for your part in that.
Oh hi, Paul! It was so nice to meet you and your wife, and I'm very glad you've commissioned work from Amber Zuri. Very exciting that you get to pick it up soon. Her work is so strong, and I'm really excited to see what she does moving forward.
So very nice to see you! This has been my very favorite RUclips channel for a long time and I'm glad you've been taking time to explore art in life on your own terms. Based on your video, I took a trip last summer to Utah to see all the glorious land art. Visiting the sun tunnels was one of the best art experiences I've ever had. I can't thank you enough for the recommendation!
Sun Tunnels are my absolute favorite land art! Truly transportive. Very glad that our little video got you there.
I immediately clicked on your video as soon as I saw. So grateful for you and The Art Assignment team. Sarah Urist Green, you are a national treasure and help amateur enthusiasts and experts alike see art in new and different ways. I am grateful.
In the time you left I was torn between studying visual art or medicine. I decided to study medicine (a 8 year trip in my country), not much time to do art anymore. Yet, art provides me with escapism, my desire of creation never ceases to stop. I wish I was eternal so I could do art forever and not worry about time! Good luck with your projects!
So glad to hear from you!! You feel free to pop in and out as often as you like. I too, am spending more time outside of the internet by redoing a vacation home and curating the space like a “gallery”.
I graduated from a performing art school 6 months ago. Needless to say my relationship with art changed a lot during pandemic times, and has continued changing since graduating. This week, I picked up a paint brush for the first time. From this place, I find it quite reassuring to hear someone else describe how their relationship with art is evolving.
My relationship with art has evolved constantly over my life so far, including some stretched of not making art for years! (Except I've always made birthday cards. That bit is fairly consistent.) But please do rest assured that one's relationship with art can, and I think should, evolve over time. Hope the painting goes well!
Happy to see you! i was asked to do collage for a denver gallery during the pandemic. these virtual exhibitions gave me the opportunity to exhibit in paris and helsinki , I won a virtual studio visit with the leslie lohman museum which resulted in a online fellowship. The pandemic allowed galleries to look farther afield instead of the usual suspects. once again love to see you again.bravo
I absolutely ADORE Sarah’s collage pieces. I could say so much more, but I like how my first sentence sums it up so well.
aw, shucks! thank you!
Oh God, you're back 💕♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so, so much for this video. I started watching the Art Assignment just when the pandemic started, and since then I’ve been trying to get back to making art myself. I haven’t had the kind of success I was envisioning yet, but I’m still hopeful. Just allowing myself to spend any time at all on my sketchbook, or playing with materials, helped me regain some confidence I had lost in myself, which in turn helped me last year to leave a job that was making me deeply unhappy. I have a great job now, and my husband and I are hoping to move to a small house sometime next year, where we’ve decided I will get my own dedicated space to turn into a mini-studio where I can make as much of a mess as I require without monopolizing the dinner table. Thank you for helping me find the roots of my creativity - your videos were an important part of that journey.
This makes me so happy to hear. And a dedicated space for art sounds dreamy! Good luck making it happen, and in the meantime it sounds like the dinner table is doing an ok job. (I like keeping in progress art in the kitchen sometimes because it means I can stop in on it all the time and do little bits at a time.)
@@theartassignment all the stories of how you've touched people's lives is so beautiful. I'm sure it's not lost on you, and it's seen by many others as well. Thanks Sarah.
Please do more episodes. I really enjoy your channel
I'm thrilled you are back and am looking forward to everything you are doing. But I won't lie, I'm still holding out for the multi-episode Crash Course: Art History hosted by you.
Not out of the question! Just a big endeavor that we need to have ALL our ducks in a row for.
@@theartassignment As a former Art teacher, they are definite ducks worth lining up if at all possible. It would be an invaluable resource to Art teachers at practically every level. In addition to lots more of you and your knowledge, who doesn't need more journeys into the Thought Bubble? I definitely do.
I've spent the last few years trying to figure out how to exist as a social being with a debilitating autoimmune disease. Most of my pre-illness friends have moved on, and other than medical staff, I've only been in physical contact with the 5 members of my household since the pandemic. I can hardly lift my camera any more, and lack the mental stamina to sort and edit images on my computer. My pottery wheel sits unused, the clay hardened to stone. If it wasn't for online D&D games, I would have zero creative collaboration or conversation.
I'm glad to see you sharing again, and look forward to more exploration of art through your lens.
My jaw DROPPED when I saw your pottery. I’m so inspired!
Hi! Thanks for sharing what you’ve been up to. I appreciate the message of getting out and being in the physical world over the virtual, it’s something I struggle with constantly. I hope we see you here again only as much as you want to be here, and good luck with your projects :)
So excited for the course and for more from The Art Assignment!
It's so nice to hear from you!!
How I’ve missed your videos!! 🥺🥺
Hi! I really missed your presence too, and i'm glad to hear you've been enriching your life outside the internet to the same degree you enrich our minds through it. My news to share is that I bought a whole lot of arts and crafts materials over the course of the pandemic and i've been teaching myself to paint, draw, sew, and even sculpt using polymer clay on and off. My most recent project is that one of my friends in the US sent me a tshirt from a goth-themed pizza place in long beach called the 4th Horseman and I've finally just finished painting over the existing design using stuart semple's lit pigment and fabric medium so it glows vividly in the dark. I'm having quite a bit of fun :D
Oh that sounds really great, Eliza. I love painting on things other than the usual blank canvas. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back. I'm glad you had the chance to create and re-explore what creating meant to you.
Excited to see you back! I've had a busy year of getting married and finishing my PhD, but going back to art as a way to calm and direct my thoughts was a great source of relaxation for me. One of the things I appreciate about a channel like this, old content doesn't just go away.
What a nice surprise, always loved these videos!
I'm still here! In the past two years I continued to apply to graduate school, got accepted to graduate school, and have completed my first year and a half of graduate school. I'm getting an MFA in Creative Writing, and I feel super lucky to have the opportunity to teach as well. I teach composition and I try to challenge my students to think about what things mean and why they matter. I'm excited about the Art Assignment's return; I find visual art to be a motor that runs alongside the lyric and logic of writing.
Echo Jardini! So happy to hear this update. I love that you are creating and teaching at the same time.
As someone who took art history in school and am now a full time graphic / video designer, I LOVE this channel. I love the work you do. I bought your book last year but I find it hard to come home from doing "art" (I put that in quotes as I work for a big company and I mostly make clip art and have a hard time believing I am making real art) but I think I will make it a resolution to go through You Are An Artist and perform at least 50% of them. Thank you for everything you do!
Making collages is one of my favourite ways to express my aesthetic. Ceramics always feels like a great way for me to process emotions, or exorcise trauma. Curating mini tableaux around my home was a great way to deal with lockdowns. But, the greatest art assignment over the past few years was my trip to visit some of the most amazing small galleries, art museums and sculpture gardens in Germany earlier this year. Being locked down for much of 2020 and 2021 made me realise that I needed to actually travel far from my (much loved) antipodean city, and see another, very different part of the world. And to take thousands of photographs of amazing doorways…..
I have missed your videos. I recently went to London and saw as much art as I could, but I missed some important stuff, I'm sure. A return trip is definitely needed.
Thank you for returning Sarah Urist Green. I am glad I got your book "You are an Artist" before the lockdown. I loved the assignments. What did I do? I artistically leaned into the plague. I explored the pandemics of the past and made black plague masks. I blew up balloons. I photographed eggshells. I had a ball.
Love seeing how in the last two years the important thing happened: everyone lost their side part.
Like. Everyone.
Glad to see you are refreshed and back to helping us teachers translate art for disadvantaged/rural communities.
This is the video I have been waiting for, I'm so happy to see you back!
I am over the moon to hear the passion in your voice. thank you thank you, thank you for all that you do.
Hi welcome back nice to watch a videos again, for me it's been a busy 2 years I started off by doing an internship in a sculpture fabrication studio in Norway now I live in Germany and I work for two different artists as a sculpture fabricator it's really a dream job for me and I can work everyday with different materials
So happy to see an update video from you!!
SHE'S BACKKKK
I felt a connection seeing your photos of artwork in galleries where I have stood in the same place and admired the same pieces. Thanks for sharing your journey, artwork, and stories.
So happy to see you again! Since you left, I got accepted in to art school and am now a junior studying illustration and visual development. I’ve talked and befriend so many amazing artists in my field and have started and finished lots of projects. I can’t wait to keep creating and also see what you create!
In the last two years I and my colleague have transformed our introductory art history classes from the two-part survey into two courses (one 100-level, the other 200-level) that introduce art history-grounded approaches to studying art. I am always thankful for what your accessible content. Thank you for sharing your recent and new projects!
Its always so lovely to see old friends again. Thank you
this channel will always be integral to my past and future growth as an artist 🥺💗
Over the last two years I started learning to draw and paint as a way to learn and practice a creative process and this channel was the best inspiration I could have hoped for. I'm glad to hear you've been able to disconnect from the hectic half-life of content creation and better appreciate the beauty of the people and art in your community.
Thanks for coming back
brings me joy to know that youre not going to disapear. ever i decided to expand from photography i have followed this series, it has been an independt source of education and inspiration. Ive been playing OWW, ive made a musical project and ive gone to residencies making performance and objects that then i photograph. i hope your video easys continue and we keep seing your growth on analizing art
I dont think I'll ever disappear, as I read in another comment I always find my way back to your old videos, this channel is one of those that just feels like home, it gets me going on a day i feel like no one understands me. I love talking and hearing about art and I really hope one day I'll be able to just dedacate my time to art as you are now!
Last two years, I've been reading a lot of books, watching films, and studying in college. Good to hear from you again!
I’m so glad you’re back!!!
What I've been up to is going back to school for art history! It's fabulous and it was fun running around the Penn Museum's section on ancient Middle Eastern art and giving my Mom run downs on objects last week! I've seen some fantastic art in person these last few months alone and I'm so energized after being away from school for so long.
I've learned how to sew recently!
And yeah I've been trying to figure out my relationship with online vs irl life as well. I think it will be a constant balancing act. Good to see you and glad you've been doing well!
I don't think I realised how much I missed the way this channel talks about art. Glad to hear it again.
I've been enjoying your collages and other art a lot over the last few years! Your "a little art a little wine" streams during quarantine where you painted the cosmic beans was super comforting to me at that time.
This year, I've been getting used to working life after graduating college in May '22. Trying to adjust to new responsibilities and stresses, appreciating increased freedom and independence, and just taking care of myself, finding time to do things I enjoy outside of work.
Happy to see you back! It may seem quite random, but when you did a video featuring The Migration Series by Jacob Lawrence, something about it really touched me and got excited to search for more art that documents of the history of my people and my nation. It really made me excited to see those paintings and feel inspired and in awe of those who came before me. It was actually quite life changing!! Thank you so much for your coverage of art!!
I adore you, I am so happy to see you back in our non-physical space, and also so happy to see your joy in your own art, experiences, and health. Please keep prioritizing whatever brings you joy and fulfillment.
During these years, I have been coming back to your old videos. They have kept me company and revisiting te projects have helped me see how I have changed.
I am glad for the projects you had off line, but it is good to see you again.
There is so much art here, in Paris, that I get to experience a lot of it. And it does feel great. So does creating my own work (photographs) that I send every month to my subscribers. And every month, forcing myself to look at what I've created helps me see I create stuff I like even when it doesn't feel like I have. And knowing I've brought a little bit of joy into their lives makes mine better.
your art over the lockdown and pottery classes really reminded me that i can still do art and its not only for "artists" and children in gradeschool
I started watching your channel at the start of the pandemic, and I bought your book. It gave me so much to do at a time when I couldn't leave the house for anything but work, and for that, I will always be grateful. I learned so much about art, and I continue to learn more. Thank you. :)
My heart skipped a beat there when I saw Zanele Muholi's portraiture work flash by. I absolutely love what she does with her work.
Zanele Muholi's work is SO GOOD. I absolutely loved their show at the Isabella Stewart Gardener in Boston.
Eloquent and wisely transparent - thank you !
Upon hearing your voice in the Art Assignment format made so many positive associations and memories of having fun doing art come flooding back to me!
Thanks for posting again
It's fascinating to see your art followed by art by others you've been looking at.
it’s like seeing my favorite aunt for thanksgiving - i’m so happy to hear how well you’ve been doing and all the fun things you’ve gotten to do! sarah’s voice is literally so comforting to me - i’m gonna binge art cooking now
Hi Sarah!
I'm so excited to see you again! Thank you so much for Art Assignment.
In the last two years, I got the chance to go visit Giverny, and the video about Monet is a huge part of why I went. I'm so, so glad that I did. I just want to say thank you for that, it was truly joyful and magnificent. I got to stand in the garden and draw the bridge in my sketchbook. It was magical; I don't know how to describe it, other than that I was in tears repeatedly from how amazing it was.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm excited to see what else goes up here!
Wonderful to have you back however briefly! Also so lovely to recognize so much art/so many museums
Hi Sarah! It was great to hear about all that you've been up to! This channel has had a great deal of impact in my life and has made me so so curious about art history, appreciation and making art. The simple sentence- YOU ARE AN ARTIST, allowed me to shed the idea that a novice like me couldn't create meaningful art for myself, my friends and family and I've started learning how to draw- baby step by step! I graduated from college during covid and was confused for a bit until i decided to pursue CGI and will be joining a course in feb 2023. I've made a lot of art in the meantime and am doing an internship at our local museum and art gallery as a graphic designer! Thank you so much for your amazing content! I really really love the collages and your sigil and will look forward to seeing all the shorts too!
Love, kusha
I screamed when I saw this thumbnail. I have loved this channel so much and it's so nice to get this update!!
It's amazing, I was just showing your videos to some of my young art students and was like "she hasn't posted in a while" and here you are!!!
Wow! Forgot how much I missed your videos. I took up drawing and painting daily at the end of last year, discovered your videos a month in, and then found out about your hiatus ... Anyway, thank you. I look forward to any content you produce moving forward. You've been a huge source of inspiration for me.
Thanks for checking in! It's great to see you again 😃
I got into art school 3 years ago but i’ve been watching your videos since i was in high school. How time flies!
I so LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. Welcomer and happy to have you back.
Lovely to see you back and I'm glad you're doing well. In the last two years, I've been through cancer, which obviously sucked but thankfully I'm currently cancer-free. I've also been making a ton of art, the pandemic really encouraged me to get even deeper into my practice and find solace in making. I'm enjoying posting on Instagram and connecting with the creative community there.
I’ve been busy! I’m now an art teacher and frequently reference your videos with my middle schoolers. This channel is a great resource
Am potter, can confirm, 10,000 hours and still make mistakes. I gave Hank a pot once. A bowl for his son. Glad you are still having fun with art!
So great to see you back! I’ve self-published a few books since 2020, and have really gotten into volunteering. Excited to explore art history with you all again!
Proud of you
Welcome back (here)! So synchronous -- I was just starting a thank you note to you in my head this morning. Because I regularly revisit The Art Assignment videos. For inspiration, courage, questions, perspective... All those good and worthy things. I'm just wrapping up development on an open source app with a strong art bent. So that's been a lot of doing. And The Art Assignment -- and the "You Are An Artist" spirit -- has been a companion and firestarter in that work. So congratulations on all your current explorations, and also -- thank you! (But I'll still get the "real" thank you note out of my head and on to paper sometime soon. ;) )
Thank god you've returned. I've missed your videos and am currently fighting through my last semester of Art college. Life sucks but you showed up and brightened my night. Your artist food videos are very inspiring for me
I for one am so glad you are back.
You and your channel are part of my life long art journey. You have opened my eyes to so many artists and art forms. I can’t tell you how much it means to me.
I look forward to seeing what you have in store for me. Thank you and welcome back.
This channel made me fall in love with art and inspired me to add an art history minor after thinking about it for years
I miss your posts so much! It's so nice to see you again on youtube and know what you've been up to! Best art channel ever!
Omigaawwdd!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!
Edit: Three years ago your videos helped me mix my passion for art and the skills I had to actually start making a career out of it. Now, I'm considering taking the next step and if there ever was a sign this is it.
Since this "pause" I amassed almost 3 yrs. of ideas, project concepts, and preliminary exhibit ideas for execution in the following year. I have also accumulated enough supplies in order to bring each idea to a cogent conclusion. That is what is on my table at the moment.
Just started pottery again, it’s been a time of realizing myself as an artist, truly, even if I am not going to sell work or show it online. It has opened up so many creative conversations!
Glad you are back,as an artist and art educator I have shared your videos which were most helpful to students and teachers. Looking forward to your new projects.
It's great to see you again! I'm happy to hear that you are doing well!
In the last two years I became a art teacher, left the teaching field, started to work on improving my technical skills, and started working part time and freelancing. I always enjoy listening to your videos while working on stuff!
I got into a fine arts program for sculpture and I feel like I’m gaining my footing as an artist. Had a piece in my first show and the experience was so fulfilling! Glad to hear from you again :)
I love how happy you seem!
Coincidentally, I’ve been thinking all week about revisiting your videos. I check in on patron every once in a while to make sure I haven’t missed anything. Thanks for the update!
I did pottery classes in high school and one of my favorite parts was the randomness of glazing and how there was a huge role for happy accidents in pottery.
As far as what I have been up to? I recently upgraded my laptop to one that works with a digital pen so that I can more easily do digital art. This has been a game changer for me as I have small children and the thought of getting out, setting up, and then eventually cleaning up art supplies seems very daunting. I love that I have a whole digital art studio that I can play with and when I need to do something else I just minimize the program or close my computer.
I just commented on one of John’s recent videos that I missed Art Assignment and wanted it back! This made my week!
I subscribed *right* before the hiatus. Your videos are a wonderful little meditation in my daily routine. Glad to hear your thoughts once more!
Yay! I love the old videos, excited for new videos! I could keep rewatching the old ones forever though.
