T is a little uncomfortable being in the studio. It’s his first year at Sabot and many of the other children who are familiar with the routine jump right in, eager to begin.
He sits by a teacher and reluctantly begins to draw a
space ship. Then he does what a grown-up might consider scribbling, all
over his drawing. Really though, a story is unfolding -
the ship is exploding.
Anna,
our atelierista, is quite familiar
with story drawing and, hearing the explosions, immediately jumps
right in. She adds a drawing of a small
figure, a bad guy, right on his paper.
The paper, alive with the story in this moment, isn’t precious, the important part is the action.
They
share the dramatic story with the other children in the room.
T, feeling now more comfortable, and successful, begins again.
