"Drawing is such an intimate practice. You spend time with characters, you make decisions that seem microscopic but can change a character entirely: the placement of their eyes, the length of their neck." —@VashtiHarrison hbook.com/story/2024-caldeco…

It's a beautiful sunny morning at Ontario Skills! What a gift to be with @AllanAMartinPS TV/Video team. In cab they said: "we want to make a video that reflects our journey-that means something to us, that we can be proud of". You got it! You do you. #empoweredVoice @PeelSchools

A quiet friend (cool gr8) was sitting in the cozy chair behind my desk (a hiding place)... I said: "hey! Look at this new book, it's beautiful." Her note. My glimmer. Sensing that sometimes the best "conversations" is through books we "casually" share. #schoollibrary @tina_zita

"When Sadness is at your Door" ... learning to sit with your feelings, experience with a sense of curiosity. An embrace instead of a struggle against. This children's book is for all ages.

Learning "traditional" 3D shading techniques, ss opted to practice using digital drawing tools (they snuck it by me and then I couldn't say no!). This answers the question "why don't you teach art like painting?" I do teach art like painting. Redefining our traditional tools.

Agency is not something to give, rather it is something to be honoured. All students have agency. They have agency in their lives, in their decisions, and in their identity. Agency in learning is simply aligning experiences inside of school with those outside of school. Imagine that.
