I use art as a way to explore music, drawing, color and imagination with students at CALLS: Center for Adolescents to Learn to Love and Serve. Calls is a Center in Portsmouth, Dominica for teens that for many reasons are not enrolled in a regular high school. I learn as i teach how not to teach and find joy without judgment through art.

Playing with texture
Today we went outside the classroom hunting different textures and used a technique called "frotagge" rubbing a crayon over different surfaces. We talked about tactile (we can feel) and visual (we can only see) textures and then we played with the oily vs water quality of materials (water paint over crayon). We talked a bit about Abstract Art vs Figurative Art.
