art + life

one of abby's art projects for the kids at camp was to do a self portrait (several different kinds). one, when done well, had a sorta stained glass effect color-wise; it also contained a self-actualization sorta thing for the kids where they wrote a bit about themselves in metaphors.

for instance, a good one (on a kid level) might be "i am a beach, because i am sunny and i love water" or "i am a tree, because i grow and i like to reach high" (oh, that is good).

here's my personal favorite.

I AM A HORSE
BEACAUSE I AM
PRETTY AND
LOVE PEOPLE
RIDEING ME!


...seems about right.
