Hello! Many years ago I substitute taught for a week in a high school art class in Montana. A drawing assignment was due on Friday and I announced, “Hey everybody, your assignment is due today – please turn in work before you leave.” I got disgruntled looks from the students. Then one student said, “What does it matter that’s it’s due today? Our drawings are just going to sit under that desk all semester.” And I thought: That is definitely a good point. Consequently, I have been interested in exploring open pedagogy, UDL (Universal Design for Learning) and other meaningful and equitable educational modalities. I am also a fan of using Automatic writing & drawing as the basis for creating fiction, non-fiction, drama and essays.
