For those who might not know: I’m currently working at a high school with students who have exceptionalities. Primarily, I’m working with students who have Emotional and Behavioral Disorders. What I noticed while working with these teenagers is that there is a startling disparity between the depth, the breadth of what they’re feeling and how they are able to express themselves. Namely, they don’t have consistent access to a form of creative self-expression. As I’ve gotten to know them and who they are, both intrinsically and outwardly, my desire to provide them with opportunities to create, to express themselves and everything they are feeling, has only grown. Today, we created. We took our normal schedule, threw it out the window and we made time to make art. They took an idea, 4 canvases, and 8 cans of spray paint and made some extraordinary expressions of heart and mind and soul and life. I was, and still am, astonished and proud and excited about the creations that were before me. Art changes lives.
