“This is the story of an artist you may have never heard of. Her name is Ruth Asawa.
She was born in California, and her whole family worked on a farm. Working with her hands was an ordinary thing to do. It was what all the hardworking people

“Joself Albers taught students to make art out of everything around them. Leaves! Paper! Wire! Clay! Even garbage \u2014 don’t throw it away. Just look at it in a new way.
