My mom cuts out lots of comic strips and gives them to me. I don't know when I got this one, or even who the artist is, but it is one that has been posted in my room for YEARS. First of all, it's funny. Secondly, It reminds me about what we expect from our kids and how expectations can and should change. Lots of adults tell me. "I can only draw stick people". 1. That's ok (see comic). 2. I doubt that. Art always amazes me. Kids can be surprisingly creative and no two project outcomes are alike. This job reminds me every day to be flexible and embrace those creative moments. My hope for my students is that they face the world with confidence in their ability to draw stick people and beyond.......
