Day Two

Day Two.

Alex, a young boy (maybe 12? Not sure, now that I begin to write about it I realize I did not ask) named Alex who has a strong learning disability joined us today. It was the first time we met Alex since he was unable to attend last week.  Alex was dressed in a purple t-shirt, with purple nike’s, a purple wristband, and a purple belt. “Guess what my favorite color is?” he asked.

Alex was a little quite at first, but just as I experience the week before with all of our other visitors, he became very social within minutes (and a little prompting of questions).

We began by creating scribble drawings, passing them over to the next person and then finding images within them. Alex was fond of finding them in his own scribbles first.

He told us how last year one of his paintings was featured on the cover of his school paper, how he really liked art, but how he cannot take it this year because he has to be in gym-they’re in the process of fitness training…not his strong point he told us.

Alex had a very calm demeanor and I look forward to working with him in the upcoming weeks.
