The Butterfly Man

This is from the gallery from my transformational art teaching at a Mental Health agency for Emotionally Disturbed and at-risk youth-Ages 5-14 in Oakland, CA.

Austin

This was created by one of my art students his name was Austin, age eight. When I interviewed him about what does art mean to him. He said "Art is just good stuff." He titled this piece the "Butterfly Man." I saw Austin transform just like a butterfly in my art class. He was amazing to teach and I will never forget him.The kids dubbed my art room the "calm room." That it was! lots of magic went on in there.
