So much is lost now.

Being funny with students requires a certain amount of facial expression. I have been debilitated in my attempt to be funny with students.

Observing with pen and pad

No peaking, and the experience is more valuable than the product.

Work and Sleep

As a teacher, I see the full range of work ethic and value choices. Tatum works while Melanie sleeps. I do not judge because everyone is fighting a battle. I provide a safe place for students to create and breathe and sleep and be. I create a non-judgmental space that often accomodates students and adults who feel free to voice thier opinions... which can often be judgmental. We are fighting battles and we are on our own journies of self awareness. Peace.

Relating to a Higer Power

What is your relationship with a Higer Power like? A friend of mine mentioned to me that a Rabbi Friend of his suggested that God likes a good argument. I thought that was funny. The self portrait is G2 .o5 on bristol board with marker for the added color.

Looking Back - Looking Forward.  A gesture activity.

Kierkegaard said we undersand life by looking back, but we must live life forward. On a trip to the Chicago Art Institute with a group of students, I penned the students behind me and then I penned the rapidly moving images I saw through the front window of the bus . I still do not understand life except that perhaps it is full of energy and art and love.

Acosta drawing on a three legged stool

It's hot. No air in school, so we took to the shade and drew trees. I drew students drawing trees.

Some drink to remember, some drink to forget.

Some don't drink. Rumi said that wine made some people angry, therefore wine was forbidden to all. Not sure that would go well in the mid-west.
