When you know you did something right as a teacher.

I just received an email from one of my classroom teachers that I worked with this year through the Guggenheim’s Learning Through Art program regarding her students after they had finished a day of state testing.

Our residency with the students this year was all about characters, character traits, story-telling and collaborative efforts. The classroom teacher reported that during drawing free-time after the test, five of the students decided on their own to make a collaborative story by putting their sketchbooks together and to later write out a story to go with their images.

It is very exciting and heartwarming to see learning sink in, and see your students take pride in their own hard work and creativity.

The Love Library goes to Detroit

My book, “Thief of Hearts,”made for the St. Louis chapter of Chido Johnson’s Love Library, is currently at MOCAD in Detroit where it will be joined by new books from the Detroit chapter. If you happen to be in Detroit and are in need of some lovin’, check out this wonderful show to see my book and others by some artist friends of mine. Romance novels that as a collective, tell the story of human  connection.

Read about the Detroit chapter here along with an interview with Chido Johnson.

“The idea is to look down the shelf and see all of these homogenized objects [romance novels]. It’s only when you pick one out and spend some time with it that you realize that it’s so different.” -Chido Johnson
