Work and Sleep
Art by @DCGraf
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.

Thank you. It is often the case that we see the world as we are. I suspect that you are a lovely person.

Excellent drawing! But what about the very loud students? Do you judge them? I do!
Dean C. Graf (@DCGraf)
We are like monks in a way, we like our sacred quiet places. Drawing is like meditation and prayer. I am the care taker of that space for the students who need it, so yes, I do redirect the loudness if I can.

lol. I didn't sleep, but I was an art kid and an attention seeker. Now, as a teacher, I have a captive audience to conduct my performances.
