The Art of Class

The last few days I had the privilege of visiting Cathrine Kegan's 9th grade English classes at San Diego High School, California. I was invited to facilitate a discussion on What is Art? and work with the students on an exercise exploring sensory observations and their personal interpretations. Exploring their sensory impressions ties into their current study of vignettes.
I was very impressed with Kegan's style of teaching, her passion, knowledge and her strong commitment to these students - she is a gift to them, and an inspiration to me.
I loved being able to share some of my world with them, and am grateful for the opportunity to have them share some of themselves with me, even if it was for just a short while.

Each child is a wonderful, unique piece of living art - beautiful!

I hope to post some photos soon.
