The Un-Rung BellElementary students collaborate in a story involving the banning of all school bells. This means these creative kids have as much time as they need for dreaming, drawing, making and discovery.
Children's Fantasy
Me and Cerulean Down By the School YardThe Bluestone School children are seen here experiencing daily life. Kids are chasing butterflies, taking photos, sketching, socializing with friends, skipping outside and observing passing wildlife. Kites handmade are free to be flown. The hustle is personal, carefree and with the pursuit of happiness in mind.

Daydreaming StudentsAt Bluestone Elementary, daydreams are necessary and nurtured. Students can view anything they need out of the daydreaming class windows, and often travel to those imaginary spaces as well.
Gilded ImaginationsChildren all have unique ideas. My interest is in finding ways to honor individuality of childhood, and to show respect for simple, wacky, serious, silly, smart and imaginative ideas kids can have. This illustrated scene is about a group of kids who are ideating. The thought bubbles are gilded in baroque style gold frames, representing the honoring and showcasing of kids’ ideas much like a masterwork of art. There’s even a tin-can telephone in the background, as a symbol of that idea of play and imagination, and communication of that imagination.
Bluestone Students Imagining a World The Bluestone kids are using creative problem-solving skills to create a world together. Note the imagination thought clouds above some. Each child hypothesizes what might be needed in an imaginary landscape.Developed in a classroom collaborative setting, these students work at a round table, developing ideas as if the teacher didn’t need to intervene.
Bluestone Art MuseumParodies of famous artists throughout my art education appear as the Bluestone kids visit the art museum. Intertextual reference to Jeff Koons, Eva Hesse, Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, Marisol Escobar, Polly Apfelbaum, Andy Goldsworthy, Cornelia Parker, Martin Puryear, James Turrell, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Cy Twombly, Tara Donovan and many more influential artists who have taught me so much about what imagination and possibility means in art. These children experience art from their own perspective. Cerulean takes the hand of Nick Cave’s Sound suited figure, and holds Yoko Ono’s box of smiles. Interactions of children with art are authentic, personal, and meaningful. This is why museums open their doors.
Cerulean and Nick Cave's Sound SuitThe Bluestone School kids experience the infinite possibilities of art.
Cerulean at the Art MuseumThe Bluestone School Kids experience infinite possibilities for creativity in a trip to the art museum.
