“A mischievous and nourishing new book...Here's what Paper Monument's editors, in this slim book, have had the wit to do: They've asked dozens of artists and teachers, some well known and some not, to speak about the best art assignments they’ve given or received or even heard of. The results are aimed at M.F.A.- level teachers, but these 89 entries are accessible to anyone, many even to children. Like the conversation in the final hour of a boozy art opening, these small anecdotal essays mix gossip, profundity, bogosity and lecherousness in equal parts. The book is buzzy and wild, like real talk.”—Dwight Garner, New York Times
