I like to think outside the box. Give me a box and I’m going to try and figure out how to do something different than everyone else. I’m like that.

Curriculum dictates that tomorrow I am supposed to teach a first grade art lesson on the Mona Lisa. Dude. Have you ever seen a first grader try to draw a portrait? It ain’t pretty. Stick figures abound. In first grade it’s hard to even get them to draw all the components of a face: eyes, nose, mouth, so you can forget about some artful portrait. So me? Being the rebel that I am, I have decided that fine, we will do portraits tomorrow. We will even draw faces. BUT. We are doing snowman portraits. Because I like to draw outside the lines. I mock the Mona. The director of this program is going to hate me….  ;)
