Description
I am in elementary school. It is the last hour of the day on Friday afternoon and we are having art. My teacher has provided every student with a sheet of 12x18 white drawing paper. "Take out your crayons and draw a picture," she says. We are given some suggestions but the teacher makes it clear that the choice is ours. At first I am calm, certain that an idea will come. But as the minutes escape, I begin to panic. Everyone else seems to be absorbed in drawing. Am I the only one who isn't drawing something? I have always enjoyed writing stories. However, I would rather take a history test than draw a picture. Why? Because I'm not an artistic sort of person. Oh no.. the period is almost over. My paper, like my mind, is blank. The teacher will wonder... Should I simply draw a few quick mountains, add some clouds, and stick a sun up in the corner? It's not something I'd want to share with anyone but at least I'll be done.
