Beltane Waxing Last Frost Moon
Tours today of kids from Como Park Elementary School, 6th graders. This was a diverse group with Somali’s, Chinese, Hmong, African-Americans and the odd Caucasian. Both groups were sharp, but the second group had a couple of kids that were extra bright. A young lady, a Somali with a head scarf, talked about the St. Adorno: “Maybe it’s the guy in the present and in the future (she pointed to St. Adorno), in the present he feels trapped in his house, like it’s a prison, but in the future he’ll be free.” And so on. These kids would be fun to teach. We went to precisely none of the objects I’d prepared. When I asked this last group if there was anything in particular they wanted to seem, this same young woman said, “Cubism!”
