Agnes Martin's minimal paintings reproduce terribly. Their magic does not come though in photos or videos. Guest host John Green discusses Martin's art anyway, how it brilliantly captures emotion itself, and why you should seek it out.

We’re at Mildred’s Lane, a 96-acre site in rural Pennsylvania founded by J. Morgan Puett. Mildred’s Lane is an experiment in living - it's a space where Morgan and her friends collaborate on projects, practice creative domestication, and pay closer attention to every aspect of daily life. Her assignment asks you to do the same by playing a game of Scramble Scrabble Dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS - SCRAMBLE SCRABBLE DINNER
1) Find a nice cloth and sharpie pens for writing.
2) Gather 2 - 6 people. Each player writes their name on the cloth and makes a list from the letters of their name of food items and ways of preparing food.
3) Play a scrabble game with each player taking turns playing a word from their list, rotating the cloth as you go.
4) Keep adding words until you have a combination of ingredients and ways of preparation and all agree a dish is formed. Avoid the expected and embrace oddity. Sketch the dishes as they emerge.
5) Gather your ingredients and make the meal. Prepare and present it artfully.
6) Document the process with photos, video, drawings, or however you like, and share them on your social media platform of choice with #theartassignment.
