I've had three really great art teachers--David in Los Angeles, Terry in Brattleboro and now I have Catherine. She is a really good teacher because not only is she a good artist, but she knows how to teach art too. In just three weeks we've become good friends.
Catherine is teaching me how to shade faces using cross-hatching and other techniques. She is an expert at portraits.
I am a 14-year old boy with Asperger's syndrome, sometimes called “autism lite.” I see the world differently and have a hard time understanding how to behave the rules I don’t get. I also have serial obsessions; like clocks, elevators, doors and money. I began drawing presidents who were on the dollar bills, and as I did, I learned about them. Then, I learned there are people whose job is to influence the presidents, like rich people, politicians and news people. I like to watch MSNBC, CNN, Frontline and 60 Minutes. I guess these shows are my new obsession. I live in Vermont where there are more people with gray hair than in California, where I used to live. It snows here in the fall, winter and spring; and bugs live indoors with the people in the spring, summer and fall. I moved here August 2007. I used to live under the Hollywood sign. By the way, I like the color yellow. I think that was my first obsession.
